I think what The Dean is getting at is that there are other factors to contracts than just negotiating. Which is true, but you seem to be playing some ignorant game with it. Riddle me this, 'jason268152', why would Joel Segal be going after "thug clients" as you point out when if in fact they are all "thugs" as you say, they would find themselves not playing often which in turn results in less mojo ($$$)? When Vick was coming out of college, had Segal not signed him, the next agent would have. And then we'd be here talking about THAT agent instead of Segal because you display that belief that everyone's entitled to an opinion and they want to share it with everyone to make yourself sound like 'the expert'. Furthermore, if YOU 'jason268152' were an NFL agent and Michael Vick visited your office after he left college, you TOO would lust at the thought of attaining him as a client. What'd you do today? Pick up the paper, read the some schmoe SMOKE UP YER @$$ columnist and instantaneously become Mr. ESPN Insider? Hope this helps!

Remember kids: Everyone's the expert.

A 3 year old could have coordinated better.

Unveiling production was about as unexciting as it could get. Looks like they threw it together last minute (people walking in front of nets to release balloons? Hanging up jerseys behind the players who are WEARING the jerseys?) Oh brother. I know the economy is down but it seems to be bouncing back, ride the wave and invest a little more in the unveiling ceremony. E for Effort on the fireworks at least.

Mad Men racked up a lot of nominations, I just wish Lost would get more recognition in awards.

Oh brother

You sound like The Joker. Hope this helps!

Oh brother...

That's a little delusional to analyze it at that depth.

Just because someone has a facebook profile or uploads their wedding videos online doesn't mean it's a LAMP or that they are self-absorbed vain goofballs.

You're forgetting this one: You are saying because it's on YouTube it's a LAMP, therefore, the bride and groom at this wedding are completely self-absorbent and uploading the video to YouTube like millions of others - who have all types of different weddings - is proof of that? So does that include anyone on facebook or any other social network?

Over half a million people have posted their wedding videos on YouTube, what's your point?

Are you sure they did this as a LAMP? Because it looked to me like they were just having a good time and just wanted to do something fun, simply put.

It's THEIR wedding let them celebrate it or do whatever they want. Saying employers will look at this in disdain is a bit of a stretch.

The sad thing in this is Crowley seems to have spent his entire life being a leader in racial equality and no matter what, he's now been slandered and will have to live with whatever accusations Gates makes against him.

Furthermore, HGH takes an average of 6 months to even start working and even then it's results are mediocre.

Apparently he did because his hair is longer. Are you kidding me? You might know that but he looks generally the same. He did NOT gain "a ton" of muscle.

You're right, there are sports writers who shine through the other typical media perspective. Tim Graham's piece on Lebron playing football caused a lot of talk, I heard them talking about it on Sirius NFL Radio, I think Wingo even questioned it on NFL Live, but I thought it was original and brilliant. It created SO MUCH talk in SO SLOW of a news cycle.

If you mention the $137,000 earrings, I'd simply point out that we'd love to see that kind of excitement from him in helping out around Buffalo. But to read another media story about people telling others what to do with their money really disgusts me. Sounds like Donn Esmonde watched the show and got so pissed off that a multi-millionaire bought some nice jewelry. Read the headline: T.O. letting glitter dull his senses. This writer is attacking T.O. solely based on a possession he purchased. All T.O. did was purchase something and now Donn Esmonde is attacking him. I understand what he's saying about the kids, but, this is typical media perspective. How far off are we as a society until people that choose to buy name brand items are attacked for not buying the generic brand? T.O. and that $137,000 wasn't the only hope for the needy in Buffalo and there's other Bills making more money from the team, what about them? And keep in mind, T.O. has other endorsement deals worth millions and I would bet VH1 paid him $10-$20 million for the show. The season hasn't even started yet.

The trend I see is quarterbacks not getting too muscular. One of the rare exceptions that comes to mind is Brady Quinn and he's not starting. And he's had some injuries. I personally think quarterbacks with leaner builds get hurt more often. Flexibility is key in football. But if you're brother is 5'11" 175lbs, he's not going to play QB in the SEC. Not to be a jerk, but beggars can't be choosers. He might for a few games, if he's lucky. He's better off playing another position like WR, CB, or S. It's going to come down to whether he wants to play football or not.

Oh brother!

Joe D is tough as nails, still to this day! He'd take down Chuck Norris or Chuck Liddell in a heartbeat.

They're not even supposedly "launching" this for another 2 weeks. Hope they accept my order!
