Nice job killing the joke.
FYI, that's why he put a ;) in there. That means it's a joke. That also means
we/he doesn't need someone correcting him on his obvious sarcasm. (Again, the
whole ;) thingy)
But yeah, thanks.
Go Cubs!

enough to play out those contracts. Even 5 years is too long. A contract
shouldn't be any longer than 2 years. The Yanks were insane to sign A Rod to a
10 year contract as good a player as he is.-Jael

think the 9ers pay him the entire time he played at Philly. sometimes it is best
to cut losses... However who in their right mind signs someone to a 15 year
contract. Pro sports career's can end in a heartbeat.
