Albert Pujols should be taking some notes right now.
Surprised (maybe not) to see negative comments significantly outnumbering positive comments.
The simple fact is that without Peyton Manning, the Colts would be playing in Los Angeles as we speak. He turned a basketball crazed state into a football crazed state overnight. Forget all the B.S. debates on how many Super Bowl rings he needs to earn before he considered one of the all time greats, he saved NFL football in Indiana.
It has been a privilege to watch his career. Now he gets to play out his final years and retire as a Colt, and he gave Indy the flexibility to retain key players in the process. :thumbup:
I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away,
and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life,
and what she's done to it
There's one more kid
that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love,
never get to be cool.
fucking ridiculous. Pro sports are a fucking joke yet I love my teams..... The amount of money these people make can help fight poverty and such like
fighting poverty and the like isn't all about money. playing Robin Hood won't make all the worlds problems go away.
but why not try?
who wants to sit their fat ass on so much wealth their head spins while helping no one out?
like that asshole in the sand over there in the oil fields who had his LARGE NAME DUG IN THE DESERT.
that guy should be drug out into the desert and beat for a week or 12, frickin prick.
i am calling him a frickin prick, not you, pauldavid.
thread integrity... "sports guy" should be eating bologna sandwiches every tuesday night just to feel hungry from time to time. i almost referred to "sports guy" as "dickhead" but he may be a decent guy. hopefully he's feeding people.
some of you people have no faith in the human spirit.
it's all relative people. people in ethiopia could use US as an example of greedy rich bastards who spend money on band fan clubs rather than sending money to the poor.
If they look at us as greedy bastards for spending 50 a year on a music band fan club site what would they think about a quarterback who gets payed 18 million a year for playing a game! I'm just saying...

I totally get that, I'm just saying in relative terms, they wouldn't be able to even fathom that kind of wealth. They probably don't even know it exists. they probably don't even know our kind of wealth.
all I'm saying is who are we to judge? we are wealthy to others too and spend money on frivolous things and most of us don't do enough to help the needy while we make more than we need.

Steeler's players do this all the time. It's why they are THE GREATEST FRANCHISE IN NFL HISTORY!

Peyton is just the best, there are few who compare to him in terms of outright awesomeness in how he goes about everyday life. His dad raised him to be humble, think about the team first, and to give back to those who gave to him in fan support and community support.
If all pro-athletes, no people, conducted their business and life like Peyton, the world would be a better place.
What did he learn when he sexually assaulted women in college and had daddy cover it up? Truly humbling I'm sure. :roll: Too bad we didn't have twitter back then or he would have definitely been caught pulling a "Brett Favre", and we wouldn't have this stupid story about how "humble" and "hard working" he is.
One thing I gotta say ... the "oh man, pro athletes make too much money, it's fucking ridiculous" argument is so old.
You want to put a stop to excessive sports salaries? Cut off their supply of money!
Don't go to games. Don't buy the merch. Don't get Sunday Ticket. Don't watch ESPN (at least that shouldn't be too tough). Don't buy the products on their commercials.
The owners and players are simply splitting a pie we all create, so we need only to look at ourselves if we're sick of how much they make.
What they do after they get their huge checks (be charitable vs. be the next star on MTV Cribs) ... sure, you can criticize that. But they make what the market dictates, and we are all the market.

It's all reality, I was just putting it all in perspective.
Another habit says its long overdue
Another habit like an unwanted friend
I'm so happy with my righteous self
