Disheartening Article: Magglios GAWN in 05.
Nice example. So anyone that negotiates their best possible deal is greedy? I guess every person I ever hired was greedy, because none of them said ay me less than you can. Here's an example: John F. Kennedy donated all of his Senate and Presidential salaries to charity. Is every other politician greedy?

I'll agree with one, not with two. A man has a responsibility to his family. Why should a guy accept less money to stay with a company? Would you want a player who is so uncompetitive he will accept less? Out of loyalty? To the fans? Are these the same fans that have been arguing he isn't worth it? I don't think anyone is greedy in wanting to make more for himself and his family. This by all accounts will be his last big contract, he's setting up his future grandkids and their families. I would want that for my family.

Jakko settled in 1993 for $23 million
You know what is really, really sad? More than a few parents in America today would gladly handover their kid to Jackson for a couple days at US$5 Million per day. :puke

Juggs, Basically you want to sign him for 5 years at his current price, no more. Is that based on revenues staying flat? A possible decline in his play? New TV contract? Are you believing the payroll will stay flat for 5 years?

They use to be on Okidata records, now I find them mostly on HP Best of all they are totally free, no problem downloading them and sharing them with your friends. Custom mixes suck though.

I don't think Maggs numbers warrant a $4million drop in salary. He will easily find a club at his current contract if not a nice raise. There is no reason to believe he's on a decline.

That quote can be applied to every free agent that has ever been. It is very rare, I'm certain there have been a couple, but I cannot think of any, that have resigned with their team after having negotiations broken off and the player a free agent.

Waiting for Koresh
Apu, I've thought about that situation. How would you have made the arrests? They had already shot federal agents who came to serve them a search warrent. If you had the badge and needed to make the arrest how would you have done it?

Did you see Maggs knock that 4-year old out of the way in Texas to get a foul ball?

Greatest Pitcher of all time

The problems with the Draft
Part of the problem is they are drafting high school kids and enticing them to skip college and play pro ball. Sometimes that takes more cash. I've read stories where kids say no, then the team starts offering what sounds like a great deal, the kid has no professional representation, and gets screwed. It certainly isn't all fun and games.

I've been to a few Ranger's games. Don't judge all Ranger fans by this ass hole. We got the loser Liege and his kid, we know how guilt by association hurts. When I watched the tape, I didn't see him so much take the ball away as knock the kid out of the way and dive almost in the kid's mom's lap. Asshole's leggs hit the kid and scared the kid half to death. Somebody has to know who this guy is. Kap, are their any Ranger boards, like this, not MLB who would probably delete the name right away.
