Sure both sides sign bad contracts. Sure the market shifts after they've signed what they thought were good contracts. But only one side is expected to respect their agreement. And that is bullshit. The guaranteed money that comes with the signing bonus has addressed this problem to some extent, but you arguing that the teams, relative to the players, aren't at a huge advantage is just ridiculous. Now, if you argued that teams have to be able to terminate long, large contracts because of how risky football is, it would be a different story. But then I would ask why the players should bear that risk, especially when their careers are so short. TM |

Regardless, I have a really hard time ginning up sympathy for players who make millions to do what many of us, as kids, dreamed of doing, even for free. |

Religion is for Suckers
Everyone knows my stance on penguins.* Why the fuck can't the Christian right leave the things I like alone? These brainwashed motherfuckers have absolutely lost control of their small, closed, flawed minds.
Here are some interesting quotes about how they interpret March of the Penguins. On the conservative Web site WorldNetDaily.com, an opponent of abortion wrote that the movie "verified the beauty of life and the rightness of protecting it." At a conference for young Republicans, the editor of National Review urged participants to see the movie because it promoted monogamy. A widely circulated Christian magazine said it made "a strong case for intelligent design." [COLOR=sky blue]To Andrew Coffin, writing in the widely circulated Christian publication World Magazine, that is a winning argument for the theory that life is too complex to have arisen through random selection. "That any one of these eggs survives is a remarkable feat - and, some might suppose, a strong case for intelligent design," he wrote. "It's sad that acknowledgment of a creator is absent in the examination of such strange and wonderful animals. But it's also a gap easily filled by family discussion after the film."[/color] "Some of the circumstances they experienced seemed to parallel those of Christians," he said of the penguins. "The penguin is falling behind, is like some Christians falling behind. The path changes every year, yet they find their way, is like the Holy Spirit." Mr. Hunt has provided a form on the Web site lionsofgod.com that can be downloaded and taken to the film. "Please use the notebook, flashlight and pen provided," it says, "to write down what God speaks to you as He speaks it to you." Richard A. Blake, co-director of the film studies program at Boston College and the author of "The Lutheran Milieu of the Films of Ingmar Bergman" said that like many films, "March of the Penguins" was open to a religious interpretation. "You get a sense of these animals - following their natural instincts - are really exercising virtue that for humans would be quite admirable," he said. "I could see it as a statement on monogamy or condemnation of gay marriage or whatever the current agenda is." http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/13/sc...eng.html?8hpib Although, maybe they're right. Maybe it does outline strong Christian ideals. When one penguin loses a chick, they will often try to steal another from a neighbor. Better yet, each mating season, they fuck, the chick is born, and once able to swim, mother, father and chick all go their separate ways, never to see each other again. A new sacred family unit every year! Jesus Christ. TM *Penguins are superior. |

While you were gone, I had cause to watch City Slickers: A Tale of Two African Penguins on Animal Planet, and I think we need to organize a penguin lovers trip to Simon's Town or Boulder Beach, South Africa to hang out with the African Penguins. They pretty much wander all over town, hang out on the beach with all the people, and essentially rule the small town in the vicinity. http://animal.discovery.com/converge...ery/magell.jpg ETA: Quote:
ETA again: Thurgreed! They're looking for volunteers to wash penguins who were caught in an oil spill. Poor little guys. http://www.sanccob.co.za/images/oilspill_image1.jpg |

Sure, there are a good number of players who have signing bonuses that guarantee a lush lifestyle for the rest of their lives. Sure, many of them make so much more than we could ever hope to make, even if they are caught in a contract and aren't earning what is market for their position. But arguing that the players are so lucky that they shouldn't whine about getting fucked by owners is the argument I avoid having with the idiot at the game wearing this: http://www.guffyspace.com/area52/y3kstore/beerhat.jpg Are you one of those guys who think baseball should never have been forced to give players free agency too? So many of the players in the NFL have very short careers (on average, careers last three years). Minimum salaries for the first three years are as follows: 1st year -- $225,000 2nd year -- $300,000 3rd year -- $375,000 Combine that with the fact that most players don't receive signing bonuses that will ensure their financial security in case of injury. Then throw in the fact that teams can release players in the middle of their contracts without being responsible for any of the player's salary for the remaining years on the contract. Once you've got that bubbling, sprinkle in all the injuries and destruction on players' bodies a lifetime of football brings and tell me again why I should weep for owners and turn my nose up at the players for being spoiled brats living my childhood dream. I'd switch places with any owner before any player in a second. TM |

Now if you want to talk beached whale -- you really feel like one when the only way to get yourself out of bed is literally to roll out. This is not to say that Britney's not a sloppy girl, but odds are that the press is less interested in catching Jennifer Garner with a drop of ice cream on her melons. |
