What Happened

TO is the man

LMAO! We're not fighting. C'mon now.. nothing serious here.

I'll give your beagles some credit, they've make the NFC championship game 4 years running. It's a good stretch. It's just too bad that TO's a punk, McNabb is a choke artist and we didn't get to see Andy Reid in those tights!

So are you going to join in the Fantasy league since you're such a fan?

[dattia]

Yeah, I agree that he is awesome...however....he was awesome before he signed with the Eagles...No surprise there, but you can't sign a contract and then come back whining for more money. He knew his worth before he signed and yet he signed anyway.

[dattia]

Andy Reid in those tights....now THAT is my Fantasy!!!!

[RKnarr01]

Im going to college to hopefully become a sports agent and you can always cry for more money, why wouldnt you try to get more.

[Tulsa]

There's something to be said for honor when you're trying to appeal to a mass market fan base.

[dattia]

Try....if you want, but be a man and show up when you are supposed to...and don't expect the fans to wait it out patiently because there is little sympathy for someone who signed for $49 Mil and wants more. I do think he is worth more (compared to others in the league) but not this way. Good luck in college...my son is also contemplating going into the sports field in college. Of course, I want him to be a doctor.

[RKnarr01]

theres a lot of money in sports its the 6th largest industry in the US, im hoping to get accepted at NYU for my 3rd and 4th year

[dattia]

Go for it...Good Luck

Its yours, mine & every other fan that continues to pay out the wazoo for tickets & other stuff. Ill bet you that if we (you know the ticket buyers union) went on strike & stopped buying, the price would come down.
If the price came down & they got paid less do you think all the great players would not compete for 1 million dollars instead of 50 if that was all they were gonna get?

[RKnarr01]

doodude,

that might be true but all the fans would never strike, if you want to talk about crazy lebron james had a 100million 5 year contract without ever stepping onto a NBA court.

[luckydog]

Whatever happened for the love of the game.

it's more like the love of money.

when Barry Bonds was a rookie he said he would play for free just for the love of the game and being in the major league.

Now he charges an arm and a leg just for an autograph.

by the way Barry signed 2 Pirates mini-bats for my older son and myself during spring training here on his rookie year. No Charge!!!!!

[RKnarr01]

lucky,

last year you probably could have gotten a fortune for them. the love of the game doesnt cut it anymore money talks and thats what they need to pay for these houses that cost 20million.

[doodude]

The ticket buyers union is just to unorganized to ever strike & therefore the problem will never be solved.
Weve started going to the minor league games. We dont spend nearly the money & we have just as much fun.
I could give a hamsters behind about seeing the 'roid boys & all the ex & future cons destroy the game with greed & attitude.

[Tony Junior]

Give me the minor league games or the kids!

[Tony Junior]

HoooooBoy! I see I'm an "eye shooter" now!

[RKnarr01]

we have a AAA team the Rochester Redwings here where I live and I go to about 4 or more games a month. I really like minor league baseball.

[Tony Junior]

It's the best!

[dattia]

Does anyone want to talk Ice Hockey?
