BuffOrange Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 Not just what other athletes have done.....But what other athletes have done without repercussions of any kind!! So I guess you would say that hurting dogs is punishable by suspension and prison time, but hurting children is deserving of nothing... Yes that's exactly what I said. [Retarded straw-man arguments is the other part of chapter 1].
billsfan89 Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Vicks 100 million dollar contract is not what it seems. http://deadspin.com/5836157/michael-vicks-100-million-contract-is-a-lie To sum up the article the 6th year of his deal which is worth 20 million is pretty much voidable. That brings it down to 80 million over 5 years which is 16 million a year. Also that 40 million dollar gauranteed isn't quite that. The deal is only worth 38.5 million gauranteed BUT part of that is a 3 million dollar bonus if the Eagles win a SB in the next 2 years that brings the guarantee to about 35.5 million which sounds nice but you have to consider that the 16 or so million in the first year counts as part of that. That pretty much leaves only about 18.5 million gauranteed after the first season. Its a bit of an overpay but once you shed the phony 6th year that is 20% of the total number and cut down the guarantee to what it really is, the deal becomes much more realistic. Once again its a moderate overpay as Vick has health issues and is a running QB at the age of 30. But realistically its only 2 year commitment if they want to eat a bit of the guarantee after the 3rd year. So all in all at worst its a 3 year deal with options for 4th and 5th years.
