Barney B Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Wow, a $30 million signing bonus? He can't be serious. He'll probably settle for "only" $20 million, which is still insane, but then, giving Jake Plummer $15 million is even more insane. It's all relative. Meanwhile, what do cops and firefighters make?

OrangeSkin Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Yeah, kind of sad that Ray Lewis is making $20,000,000 dollars, while the average salalry for firemen is $45,000. Is there something wrong with this picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeCarl Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 While there's probably something bad wrong with the picture, there just aren't many message boards devoted to firefighters. Say what you will about individual players, NFL football is just one spectacular form of entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 If we're gonna mention low paid, selfless servants of the public good order, don't forget Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Coastguardsmen. It's not the writer that provides freedom of speech, It's not the priest that provides freedom of religion, It's not the businessman that provides freedom of trade, It's the military! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted April 14, 2002 Share Posted April 14, 2002 That's a ton of money. The team offer of around $12 million is pretty fair. This would be OUTRAGEOUS. If it happens the media can never again say Snyder is the one who is throwing the cap out of whack again. Unless it's Snyder who does it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted April 15, 2002 Share Posted April 15, 2002 On the subject of athletes pay: A lot of people, during the last NFL strike, were complaining about how much athletes made. The player most often pointed at was John Elway, then the highest paid player in the NFL at $4M. Many people wanted to know why some guy gets $250K/game, when all he's done is lose four Super Bowls. My response was: I don't know who owns the Broncos, but it's a safe bet that a) He's a millionaire, and He didn't get to be a millionaire by wasting his money. I then point out that, regarding Elway's salary: a) The owner thinks he's worth that much, and He's willing to put his money on the table to prove it. (Now, I'm going to hide, before anybody points out that I said the same thing when Danny hired Deion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
