QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 11, 2014 -> 02:07 PM) @kentsomers don't know if this has been out there since twitter broke. hearing Dansby to Browns, 4yrs/$24m. $10m year 1, $14m guaranteed. 10 million dollars this year for a 32 year old linebacker. Browns. They are about to pay Whitner a nice hefty sum as well, and he is also on the wrong side of 30. And thats funnier considering they are allowing the younger, better Ward to walk

i dont believe Peppers can be merely cut and re-signed. I think he has to be either restructured or let go. Otherwise you would think a lot of teams would pull that stunt in order to lower cap hits

Missing Malaysian Airliner thread
QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 11, 2014 -> 11:36 AM) If the pilots were having problems, wouldn't they have radioed in that the plane was going down? Thats part of the mystery. No known issues(aside from a recently repaired wingtip), no maydays, no bad weather. No plane.

I know the world is huge, but it is amazing that a plane can simply disappear like this with how airplanes are tracked now.

Disappointed, but I liked how the end of the season went. SIU showed a lot of improvement after a dreadful start and non conference record. And yea, Jake Odum is a punk and Smithpeters got burned by a terrible call when Odum grabbed him

Teen Sues Parents
QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 7, 2014 -> 02:09 PM) IIRC your parents' income counts against you when trying to get student loans up until age 25, so she does sort of get f***ed over in that sense. Her parents won't be paying but, because of her parents' income/wealth, she won't be eligible for subsidized loans and grants. One of my parents' friends did something similar with their daughter, or at least the father did. He makes good money ($150k+), she got straight-A's through every step of school, but he refused to pay one penny because his parents didn't pay for his. So instead his wife got a full-time job just to pay for their daughter's school. And it's not like she went to Harvard unsubsidized or something, she went to ISU. edit: my wife's parents didn't pay for any of her school, either, but she had a decent inheritance from an uncle that passed in the 90's that covered most of it. The point is there are many options, and in the end college is optional, not mandatory. Me and you both have no idea what she is eligible for, has applied for, been denied. All we know right now is this girl is saying that her parents owe her college tuition. To that, I disagree

Teen Sues Parents
The way I look at it is that she is no longer a minor under their guardianship. Unless they signed some sort of contract guaranteeing that they will pay for her schooling past high school, then they dont owe it to her. I have no idea why they chose not to pay for it, if they are not financially able to do so or if they had a falling out, but she has many options to get her schooling paid for through grants and loans. QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Mar 7, 2014 -> 02:05 PM) No I already said before that this seems pretty dumb, but there was a lot of talk about how entitled kids are these days, how could they expect this? etc. but then oh by the way my parents paid tens of thousands of dollars for my tuition, room and board. There is so much of the story that is unknown by us though. She could be(and given the nature of this lawsuit, probably is) a total B****, and they might have gotten sick of her act. My dad paid for my schooling, and I was very appreciative of that because I know that he didnt have to do that.

True, but I would really be wary about signing a contract with the Oakland Raiders. The ghost of Al Davis still hangs around making things crazy

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 7, 2014 -> 06:56 AM) Yeah, if my agent was a string bean I'd be looking to make a change as well. Or, if i started the offseason thinking 4/100 and halfway through spring training I still have no team, then I would change my agent too.
