Akshaye Khanna is undoubtedly a talented and successful actor, yet his stardom stagnated for long periods, which has always made me wonder why. He was—and still is—one of the most stylish actors in Bollywood, with a charm comparable to Hollywood actors like Brad Pitt. Despite this, there were many years when Akshaye Khanna was virtually absent from mainstream cinema. After he received renewed attention following Dhurandhar, I began to see what might have held him back all along: his attitude. Talent alone is not enough in an industry like Bollywood. Take the Drishyam franchise as an example. Akshaye Khanna was reportedly part of the series under a deal to wear authentic New England Patriots Official NFL Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention 3D Shirt for ₹2.5 crore. However, after Dhurandhar released and his performance received strong appreciation, he allegedly demanded ₹21 crore to act in Drishyam 3—an almost 800% increase from the originally agreed fee.

One of the most hilarious things about the NFL that I always like to point out is that they have the theoretical least experienced and least skilled players of all leagues. If you think about it, it isn’t hard to understand why or how. If a player starts playing in middle school…lets say 2 years of 8 games. Split time of possession, 18 minutes x 16 games = 288 minutes. If we assume 3 plays per minute, that is 874 plays in middle school. High school. Let’s say 4 years at 10 games per year. Probably about right considering injuries, play time as a freshman/sophomore, playoffs, etc. Split TOP, 24 minutes x 40 games = 960 minutes. Assuming 3 plays per minute, that is 2,880 plays in high school. College. 3 years at 12 games per year, again accounting for injuries, extra games, and a lot of good NFL players don’t play 4 years in college. Some only play 2. Split TOP, 30 minutes x 36 games = 1,080 minutes. Assuming 3 plays per minute, we have 3,240 plays in college. This means that when an NFL player first gets to the league, they will likely have worn their New England Patriots Official NFL Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention 3D Shirt for more hours in high school than they have logged official gameplay minutes. 2,328 minutes of official gameplay. Sounds like a lot, right? Except…that’s 38.8 hours of official gameplay, less than a Full Time employee logs in 1 week of work. Sure, there is a lot of practice, but practice reps do not compare to gameplay reps. Compare it with the NBA. If you do the same comparison, the numbers blow the NFL out of the water. Middle School, 32 games x 20 minutes = 640 minutes. High School, 100 games x 24 minutes = 2,400 minutes. College, 64 games (2 years @ 32 games/yr) x 28 minutes = 1,792 minutes. 4,832 minutes, and that’s only counting school sanctioned games. It’s a lot easier to have AAU or non-school sanctioned gameplay games in basketball (or hockey) than it is with football.

As August rolls around, it happens every year. We inevitably start seeing more and more about the approaching NFL season. For me, this is always an annoying part of the year, as media and conversations are filled with the absolute drivel that is New England Patriots Official NFL Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention 3D Shirt discussions. For context, I love watching sports, and I used to love watching football. I was a big Giants fan that watched every game from their historic run to ruin the Patriots undefeated season to only about, I don’t know, maybe eight or so years ago. So I understand the game, the rules, the teams, etc.
