If no one comes from the future to stop you from doing it, then how bad of a decision can it really be?

Leon looks in better shape now than he did then.
U*NC is the cleanest most honest athletic program on the planet. I am jealous of their deserved success, and I'm a mewling cunt.

That's what caught my eye. I figured by now he'd be 400 lbs.

Looks like a pool, so I assume she's wearing it over her swimsuit. If you're asking why isn't she posing in a bikini instead of the robe, good question.
Sure, I could have stayed in the past. I could have even been king. But in my own way, I am king.

Re: College Football
watch the video below it where that guy gets the rebound and Charlie Murphy karate kicks the guy under the goal.
Wilbon was trying to say that wasn't intentional yesterday on PTI

I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Re: College Football
I have a hard time understanding NFL contracts. Why would any player have a contract that is back loaded tied to rentention? Unless you're a star in your mid 20's, you're not going to see that money. And now I'm reading they structure the contracts to make sure the guy has free agency down the road in trades so they can pick him back up for less.
no wonder all these NFL guys are out for themselves.

Re: College Football
It is all about the signing bonus and how they can structure it for cap reasons. That is the main reason they do it.
Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

Re: College Football
the signing bonus is front loading no? I think ecat is talking about something else, ive never heard of backloaded NFL deals

well not necessarily backloaded - just that its likely they will never see the end of the contract, but I do remember Manning for example was supposed to get like $9m bonus if he was on the Colts roster in April so they unloaded him in March.
I'm reading about the Jets cleaning house right now.

Re: College Football
then what BRM said
if you're a high profile football player, you negotiate for your signing bonus and the 2nd year of your deal, everything else is gravy
unless you outperform your deal & hold out, which is a valid option for any NFL football player

Re: College Football
the real shady NFL shyt is the 1 year franchise tag, I get that teams need to keep talent but forcing a player who is at the peak of his earning potential to take a 1 year deal is BS
you want to tag someone? it should be for 3 years minimum, for the average salary of the top 5 players at that position, front-loaded 75-80% in the 1st 2 seasons
and still teams pull shady shyt, Green Bay tried to franchise tag jermichael finley at tight end and lost in arbitration :

and still teams pull shady shyt, Green Bay tried to franchise tag jermichael finley at tight end and lost in arbitration :
Indianapolis -- The March 5 deadline looms. The Packers must figure out whether or not to use the franchise tag on tight end Jermichael Finley. And as discussed, Finley may argue that he should be tagged at wide receiver money. Of course, there's a big difference.
The tight end tag number will be $5.5 million per NFL.com, while the wide receiver number is $9.4 million.
If this does all go to an arbitrator, Finley may have a case. Pro Football Focus recently did a study on all of Finley's snaps and believes he is a "wide receiver." "By every measurable category," PFF writes, "Finley should be considered a wide receiver for the purposes of the tender."
In the story, PFF says that Finley lined up in a two-point stance on 475 of 791 plays -- 60% of the time. He was also aligned away from the offensive tackle on 51% of the snaps. Finley stayed home as a pass protector just 7% of the time.
In short, Finley was used as a receiver most of the time. The Packers would probably state their case as well, if it gets to that point. In 2011, Finley finished with 55 receptions for 767 yards and eight touchdowns. He was targeted 93 times, third-most on the team behind Greg Jennings (101) and Jordy Nelson (96).

Re: College Football
Bonuses play differently in NFL contracts. They count different against any cap. NFL teams can also chose to rollover unused cap space from last year towards this year.

Re: College Football
the NBA does the same thing, Toronto signed Landry Fields to a front loaded offer sheet but the cap hit is actually the average of the 3 years, not that it makes a difference to the player since its guaranteed
but for NFL purposes, front loading is paramount, regardless of how the team distributes the cap hit
it's the rules of the game, which is why I dont fuss too much when a football player holds out
and why i think it's a bytch move when players criticize other players for holding out

Re: College Football
Cleveland could easily steal Flaco by front loading his 6 year contract with terms Baltimore could not equal under their current payroll without gutting the team.
