Just like LeBron James and Cliff Lee did.

The notion that players sign where ever the money is being offered most is ridiculous and has never been true with the majority of athletes.
Oh I am sure, it is never about money with professional athletes huh? Wow
Find me proof that it is. As an Islander fan and having been following an abysmal team for years, I didn't see Dan Hamhuis or Paul Martin (2 outstanding defenseman) coming to the team when they were offered more money than the Penguins did. But they knew they'd have a chance at a Stanley Cup with the Penguins, so they joined them.

You're wrong here lowing, don't even try.

And nobody cares about NASCAR (as evidenced by you being the only one who consistently posts in the NASCAR thread) except stupid rednecks, so what's your point?

Well what is the reason you find her stupid? Might find an answer there.
Probably every interview I've ever seen her do. I think what Galt and a lot of us notice is that there is no depth to her talk. She lost what little respect I had for her as a politician when she quit her elected office to join Foxnews, and to start a reality show. She abandoned her constituency to make money. Then she tried to feed us that lame duck shit..  She has no chance at the presidency. None at all.
Sorry she was undinated with Law suits all filed from a Law Firm in N.Y.C. Everyday she spent in office she fell deeper in dept. You obviously know little to nothing about her. Brush up or . . .

Ok John let me ask you......you are a business owner, you spent your life building this business and its reputation say a dept. store. You get 50 applications a day asking for a job. Of those 50 40 are qualified for the job. Of those 40 4 are convicted felons, 1 for shoplifting, 1 for armed robbery, and 1 for rape and 1 for drug crimes. Are you going to tell me you would consider any of them to work in your store interact with your customers, handle your merchandise, or manage your accounts?

Truth is, the law does not punish for life, it is the fact that we in society still maintain a right to associate with who the want, and most of us do not want to associate with convicted felons, let alone trust them with our lives or livelihood.

by the way John, if you tell me you would hire any of those felons, this is where I would call you a liar.
Uhhh John? were you gunna answer this or no?
What about it? If they served their time in prison it wouldn't be a big issue for me. Just like any other candidate it would depend on the interview.
I actually laughed.

To me, it's not that the jerk is killing his own dog...as much as it is that he creates a dangerous basically feral animal.  Sure, why not let him do that...but he had better not let that dog loose.  That's when it becomes a public nuisance.  Of course, one could make a moral argument about raising an animal whose entire purpose in life is to maim or be maimed...but then, those can fall apart when an animal is classified as property.  But than, should an animal really be in the same category as a car or a plank of wood?  I'd say no...but where does the line get drawn?

All I know is that I'd never own an animal that I could not adequately care for.  I think other people should do the same, but quite clearly, no one can force them.

Sigh... How is that racist lest the defense be all white?  The media desirous comment?  Please -the media eats up "first black/woman/gay/lation to" ...
That and the fact that McNabb is an average QB at best no matter what color he is ... just ask the Redskins.
He's below average now. The comment was made when McNabb was in his prime.

Of give me a fuckin break with that bullshit. You mean you would hire a convicted rapist to deal with your customers? You would hire a convicted shoplifter to stock your shelves? You would hire a convicted drug dealer to manage your money? and you would hire an armed robber as your night security? You are lying to save your argument.

As I said, the law does not punish forever. Citizens have a choice, and they choose to not associate with felons.
Personally, I wouldn't hire someone I knew to be a rapist or an armed robber - because I don't think I would feel comfortable working alongside someone I knew had committed either of those crimes. Someone convicted of drug use/dealing or someone convicted for shoplifting, if they weren't repeat offenders, why not. Lots of people get meaningless convictions for those sort of things in their youth and in those scenarios, if they were the best choice of candidate, I doubt it would impact very heavily on my decision.

What's up with stating every sentence with sorry? Take a deep breath, relax. Do you think that this started last weekend? That is another major problem in this country... the inabilty to think past a weeks worth of news.

" they bring a knife we bring a gun " " get in peoples faces " " get in the back of the bus ! " obozo. etc etc

If you want to start reviewing the thread pay attention to the part where I said both sides are venting irresponsible talk. It is just plain stupid to try and pin it on who started it. Not only that, it is absolutely unproductive. The fact that we have people more concerned with their ego, and "winning" is very depressing.

well lets see, you gave 2 obscure players that no one has heard of, from a sport no one gives a fuck about.

I give you and entire baseball league and football league

I won't even ask that if money is not an issue for professional athletes.....Why the fuck do they need agents?

So for you to tell me that athletes don't chase big money is nothing short of naive.
