I wept after reading that. Great fucking article though. Looks like we're not getting any football unless this judge is a fan and wants shit moved quickly.
The Packers cut A.J. Hawk. Apparently he was due $10 million next season. Smart move on their part; he never lived up to the hype. They should bring Nick Barnett back, though, and use the first-round pick on either an offensive lineman or running back.
Anyone else think it's funny that Carson Palmer basically gave the Bengal's the biggest fuck you possible? "I have 81 million dollars in the bank, I'm playing for the love of the game." This motherfucker (I mean that in a goodway) didn't say "I'm worth 81 million" he didn't say "I have 81 million dollars in assets" he said "I have 81 million dollars in the fucking bank right now." That's some shit right there. I wonder how many other players have that much just sitting in the bank.
What he said was awesome, but I have a hard time believing the $81 million in the bank. If he does have that much, he must lead the most boring life of an NFL player in history.
Well, he's made around 80-85 million in salary since he came out, plus any endorsements, and maybe he has a good financial advisor. Additionally, if you hear him talk, he is kind of a country boy despite being from Southern Cal, so I can't see him racing around in Ferraris or buying 15000 sq ft mansions in Beverly Hills. The number seemed high, but now when I think about it, I can see it.
It's amazing how much money you can save if you don't buy dozens of expensive luxury cars, several mansions and properties you will never live in, invest in absurd businesses your "friends" pitch to you, and aren't paying off several different baby mamas.
He needs money? I don't think his broadcasting contract was renewed and he had a pretty nasty divorce, if I recall.
No doubt. I'd think, especially right now with so much uncertain shit about next season, he'd be leaning more towards endorsements than anything else. Who wants back in when there may be a lockout? It's kinda weird.
A bunch of signs are starting to point to the Panthers taking Cam Newton No. 1 overall. If they do, it's goddamn retarded and y'all will witness me breakdown like the day Andrew Luck decided to stay in school. However, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think the Panthers' interest in Newton is a feint. They're trying to bait other teams into trading up to get him. If they somehow trade down a few spots and snag AJ Green, I'll have an erection for a solid week. As far as the labor negotiations, at least it sounds like progress is being made. I'm optimistic for the first time in a while. Ah, what am I saying? Fuck the 2011-12 season! Lockout! Lockout! Lockout! Let the Panthers draft No. 1 again so I can gargle Luck's balls.
I don't believe in jinxs, but I think they're going to get a deal done. The owners are screwed without that TV nest-egg they were betting on so a deal will be done by tomorrow or another extension. The way things are going, it's a foregone conclusion the players are going to win in the long run if they stay in this Doty guy's court.
Well I guess if there's a lockout it's guaranteed that Favre won't be playing in the NFL next season. Football Gods have spoken?
It's perfect for him. He won't have to worry about skipping OTAs, practice, pre-season games, etc because they'll be cancelled. He can just show up after the lockout is eventually over and play,.
