I loved sports but quit watching the NFL when they went on strike in the 80s. Plus I found something much more productive to do with my Sunday afternoon (and can't stay up late in the evenings). It is sad that guys don't even know how to write checks and manage money (Vick is the latest) and have to have help to do so. Money + prima donnas = trouble. I think I better stop...Bill (cycleguy)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09082407231475058958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010404870010692022.post-50940944167036452332009-04-07T08:29:00.000-05:002009-04-07T08:29:00.000-05:00That's (unfortunately) for the most part true, but...That's (unfortunately) for the most part true, but at least they kids are still "playing" football.Rick Boynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14518041582653090943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3010404870010692022.post-54392878133445695372009-04-07T08:11:00.000-05:002009-04-07T08:11:00.000-05:00Rick...at least with college ball, we know that th...Rick...at least with college ball, we know that their paychecks are far more manageable...more in the $100,00 a year range...<BR/><BR/>Well, plus a free car from the local dealership who sponsors the team and coaches...M.

They cease to play and are only performing.<BR/><BR/>College ball is where it's at!
