CoachChuckDickerson Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 I would hold out. How is a man supposed to feed his family on that kind of money.

Puhonix Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Shaq's new deal He was slated to make $30 million this year. Woa. Well, at least this keeps him in a Heat uniform through the end of his career. I'm happy!

R. Rich Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 396374[/snapback] Why look so confused, Puhonix? You mean you've never heard about the All America career Jeffrey Dahmer had as a basketball player @ Duke? What about former Illini small forward and Minneapolis Laker Ed Gein? I won't even go on about the phenomenal hoops career of John Wayne Gacy.

Just did a quick Monster.com search and that sounds reasonable: http://jobsearch.monster.com/getjob.asp?Jo...rad=50&q=doctor http://jobsearch.monster.com/getjob.asp?Jo...rad=50&q=doctor These were two of the first ones I found (most don't have salary listed), and these aren't really specialists either...

John from Riverside Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 Shaq's new deal He was slated to make $30 million this year. Woa. Well, at least this keeps him in a Heat uniform through the end of his career. I'm happy! 396345[/snapback] You may not be so happy in a couple of years....maybe even this year..... Shaq has a really really bad habit of coming in out of shape when he has nothing to play for.....and while he was the most dominant center in the league last year his production still dropped off dramatically.....

This is our system. It's the worst system there is.* * Except for all the rest. Check out this. Harazous duty pay for our enlisted soldiers below the rank of sergeant is $150/month. Any extra buck and a half to get shot at? ROTC contracted students get a $200 stipend. Now let's talk about inequities. OTOH, I'm glad Shaq is staying South Florida. He's a funny guy.
