athletes make too much? says who? KORY STRINGER DIED YESTERDAY...

[Freak Show]

Thank you supersize and bstone. Maybe we should mention the fact that police officers risk their lives every day and yet not one of us can remember their name, collect their card, or have a poster on our wall. Why not? I'm sorry he died, but you are way off on this one madb. These guys don't deserve a 1/3 of the money they make. It's their own god damn fault they don't have a job to fall back on. If they all weren't such fucked up delinquints they would have finished college or at least got a degree in something other than communications or phys ed. Yeah, like Randy Moss really deserved an $18mill sign on bonus. I got a funny feelin if anything bad happened to that prick his salary alone would make his life pretty easy when he retired. Fuck him and fuck all of them.

I think everyone likes bashing professional athletes because they are jealous of them and wishes they could do what they are doing, but tried and failed, myself included. I'm jealous of them, but I won't bash them for this reason.

I don't have a problem with their salaries.

baseball players... well, baseball players get cardio vascular disease cuz they are fat, lazy, sunflower seed chewing, tobacco spitting pigs...

Ok it was all good up until that statement. Don't know what kind of shape you are in but baseball players for the most part try to stay in a physical condition that allows them to go for 9 months (in good shape) ..... Spring Training to the World Series...... that doesn't include the off season work they do. In '93 our AVERAGE BF% for the pitching staff was 12%. Next time you want a good workout start at the left field line of a baseball field (regulation not Little League or girls softball) jog to the RC area sprint to center, jog to LC, sprint to left field line.... rest 30 seconds and go again... do 12 of those.. that was our light day. 20 was heavy....along with medicine ball work. You live anywhere near a spring training facility? If you do go to the field around 8:00am and stay there until the game is over at 5:00pm or so.....do that straight for 6 weeks then go play 162 games in 182 days. let me know how you hold up.

No doubt some are fatties, but what sport, career, etc. doesn't have some?

As for them risking their lives..... well I don't really think sports figures risk their lives on a daily basis. Yes they can have career ending injuries but that isn't even close to death. Firemen, Cops, Circus performers LMAO ,etc .;.. now they risk their life everytime they put on their uniform. But then again there are millions of people that can be cops and firemen, etc..... not too many can make it to the top echelon in any given sport.

MB,

There are 1000 jobs more damaging to the body than the NFL.

What's all that money doing for him now?

 

[Big Buck]

His fat ass should have been in better shape and have been better hydrated....it's his own fault if you ask me.

Better hydrated....that's SO military.....I love it.

 

[WombRaider]

Buck's right. The dude should have known his own body better...

 

[Big Buck]

Better hydrated....that's SO military.....I love it.

he, he, he...I knew you'd like that one Matt.

Got a broken leg....you're not hydrating enough.
Got a cold......you're not hydrating enough.
Got a borken neck....you're not hydrating enough.

LMFAO
