Kerry is the man.

No, not that I'm aware of. Of course, I said that last time too.

What if Plax had no record of trouble, and he got busted for these traffic infractions? Everyone, and I mean everyone, would be crying bullshit. The only reason this is a 'big deal' is because of his past. You are right about the rest of your post though, and he is an idiot/immature or whatever one wants to call him, but in this particular instance, it's bullshit. He'll get a fine and be done with it like the rest of us caught speeding. Now, the odds on him actually PAYING the fine.....not so good.

What a crock of shit. Seriously, who hasn't been guilty of speeding or 'improper lane changes'? And the dark window tint....if that's a serious offense, every car on "Pimp My Ride" would get pulled over on it's way out of the shop. I love what Mike Hunt had to say in the comments section:

Sportswrath's version of "Celebrity Deathmatch". I wonder if they'll fight sans gloves. :boxing:

"Rebirthing" by Skillet Not bad considering it's Christian Rock.

They could have been 'The Mad Samari'.

No, the Admiral is awesome. You......you're a vagina.

What makes you think all PETA-ites are white, huh? Please take your racist post somewhere else....like P&R. :smoke:

I just picked up a Ward jersey from the Giants clearance section for $8.96. Kinda sad it's worth more than a Shockey.

Eli For Pres.

No, not really. He hasn't done anything to suggest he is nothing more than a non-Giants fan. I was suggesting that a new member, and a fan of a different team at that, might add a jolt to the forum, particularly during the *yawn* off-season.

'NYGFluketeam'? Methinks I smell a rat. What team do you support? And think carefully, I have magical powers that allow me to discover the truth over the internet. If I'm wrong, sorry, and welcome. If I'm right, not sorry, but welcome anyway. We could use some excitement around here.

So Robiskie is somehow related to Ron Dayne then?

What about the other hand?

You really are a dumbass. No wonder you suck at fantasy football.

Professional sperm donor, perhaps?

Jerry Jones interview on the release of T.O. What a crock, I don't believe one word. Wait....yes I do.....when asked if anyone tried to talk him out of cutting T.O., Jones almost immediately says no, but then powder puffs that too.

Now THAT I'd get Dish Network for.

I'm going to go way out on a limb here and say T.O. won't be playing in '09. I can't remember if it was ESPN or NFL Network, but they had a graphic up that said 29 of 32 teams do not want T.O. I think it might have been Mortensen....he was on a phone interview, and he said he 'had been in contact with' those 29 teams, and nobody was interested. On the other hand, some were saying New England would be a great fit for him. I take it all with a grain of salt. Personally, like I said, I think he won't be playing at all. He won't get the kind of money he'll demand. I'm not sure, but because the Cowboys dumped him, doesn't he still get paid? I figure he'll be sipping Pina Coladas on a Costa Rican beach watching the 'Boys flounder in December.

Runyon's gone too???

I was using the locale as an example, I'm not real smart when it comes to the contract stuff like others on here are. Hell, I didn't even know there was such a thing as a hometown discount. I guess what I was trying to say is: If a player wants to play for less just to be somewhere in particular, or with a certain team, how much say does he have in his compensation. Like if, for example, Jacobs was let go into free agency, and the Dolphins offered him 40 million, but the Giants offered him only 15 million, but he really thought the Giants had a better shot at the 'bowl and wanted to stay, could he? Ya know, the hell with it, I think I've answered my own question as I sit here typing it out, I just thought your reply deserved one back. Thanks.

OK, so I read in some threads things like "he's not overpaid, it's what the market demands", or "we got great value considering the market", stuff like that. Now, my question is: If a free agent player wants to play in a certain locale, or even a specific team, and that team offers him less than 'market value', isn't he free to take the offer anyway regadless of what other players at his position are getting? Say, for example, Canty really wanted to play on the East coast because he is from the Bronx. Washington passed on him, but he knew before scheduling the interview a ballpark # he wanted, and went to the Giants interview. In the meantime, Seattle and Green Bay were also calling his agent. For the sake of argument, say the Giants low balled him, but GB made a larger offer, and seattle tripled it. If he really wanted to play in NY instead of the frozen tundra, or rain soaked seattle, isn't he free to choose no matter what? Like if he was offered, $2 mil and breakfast at Denny's over the life of the contract, and he really liked Grand Slam breakfasts....there's no 'rule' against taking less money, is there? I'm sure his agent wouldn't be too pleased, but how much is actually left to the player to decide on compensation?

If he performs from day 1 through the life of his contract, although high priced, I don't think overpaid. (Even though I think a vast majority of athletes in general are overpaid, but that's a different subject). If he comes out slow, gets sidelined for 'turf toe' and dandruff, and then all of a sudden has a fantastic year the final year of his contract, then yeah, we got screwed. I think only time will give the real answer to your question. I'd be interested in what Dallas fans think about losing him though.

Lug the bounty hunter.
