Am I the only one who thinks this is absolutely rediculous? I think football players, and most other athletes, are already paid an insane amount of money and now they're fighting over more?
Quotes
You shoulda gone to China. You know, 'cause I hear they give away babies like free iPods. You know they pretty much just put them in those t-shirt guns and shoot them out at sporting events.
... And then the Prince Knelt Down and tried to put the Glass Slipper on Cinderella's Foot by Judith Viorst
I really didn't notice that he had a funny nose.
And he certainly looked better dressed up in fancy clothes.
He's not nearly as attractive as he seemed the other night.
So I think I'll just pretend that this glass slipper feels too tight.
The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done,
we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change.
So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger,
but in wisdom, understanding and love.

"The Christian system of Religion is an outrage on common sense" -- Thomas Paine
"The Hocus Pocus phantasy of a God, like another Cerberus, with one body and three heads, had its birth and growth in the blood of thousands and thousands of martyrs." -- Thomas Jefferson

A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned to walk forward. - Franklin D. Roosevelt
You know, if a mere human was mentally split into three personas like your god he'd be in an insane assylm right?
Women who seek to be equal with men lack ambition.
Practice safe lunch: Use a condiment.
The attack on women's reproductive rights has nothing to do with life and everything to do with trying to put women back in their "place"

The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. It should transcend personal God and avoid dogma and theology. Covering both the natural and the spiritual, it should be based on a religious sense arising from the experience of all things natural and spiritual as a meaningful unity. Buddhism answers this description. If there is any religion that could cope with modern scientific needs it would be Buddhism. (Albert Einstein)
I love football. I don't think they need any more cash. Maybe health benefits, but not cash. Same goes for politicians. I think government jobs should be an elected volunteer position.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a die hard broncos fan :) I just think the paychecks are rediculous.
I think instead of 100 million for 4 years, it should be more like 2 million a year for 45 years, that way they have a paycheck until retirement, and on that amount of money there is no reason they can't afford health insurance. It's supposed to be doable for the rest of america making 30k a year...
On another note, I also think all athletes should be pumped full of steriods to see how fast they can go :) they get paid enough for a little risk....

The lockout is being caused because the NFL owners are making (in some cases) hundreds of times more than the athletes. Then, they say that they are going to extend the season from 16 to 18 games so that the owners can make even more money. Most athletes aren't asking for more money, they're asking for better retirement healthcare (for the many concussions and broken knees) and not to play 2 extra games and have an even greater risk for injuries. I have to side with the players on this one (the one's not asking for more money).
