jceman 1 #1 March 4, 2009 From ESPN.com's Page 2: The Dow Jones industrial average has dropped below 7,000, its lowest level since April 25, 1997. But rather than lament the sagging economy, let's instead compare and contrast the sports landscape of today to April 1997. Highest salary by an American athlete: Then: Michael Jordan, $30.14 million Now: Alex Rodriguez, $28 million NFL salary cap: Then: $41 million Now: $127 million NBA salary cap: Then: $24 million Now: $59 million Cheating: Then: 49ers on the salary cap? Now: Nearly everyone on PEDs? Sports innovation: Then: Interleague play Now: NBA adds H-O-R-S-E to All-Star Weekend College football champion: Then: Florida Now: Florida Stanley Cup champion: Then: Red Wings Now: Red Wings Kurt Warner: Then: Arena Football League champion, free agent Now: NFC champion, free agent Alex Rodriguez: Then: Young, stupid, naïve Now: Stupid, naïve Mike Tyson: Then: Chomped Evander Holyfield's ear Now: Author Anna Kournikova: Then: Days after her 16th birthday, she accompanies 27-year-old Sergei Fedorov at Stanley Cup championship parade Now: Who? -- Thomas Neumann Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm won't be asking him to balance my checkbook or anything that requires any thought.... Are you sure? Read the following... "Nurses aren't supposed to laugh." A-Rod declared. "Of course I won't laugh, I'm a professional nurse. In over twenty years I've never laughed at a patient." "Okay then," A-Rod said and proceeded to drop his trousers, revealing the tiniest man thingy the nurse had ever seen. Length and width, it couldn't have been bigger than a AAA battery. Unable to control herself, the nurse started giggling then almost fell to the floor laughing. A few minutes later she was able to regain her composure. "I'm so sorry," said the nurse. "I don't know what came over me. On my honor as a nurse and a lady, I promise it won't happen again. Now tell me, what seems to be the problem?" "It's swollen," A-Rod replied. Things went downhill from there."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
