Chuck, I'm pretty sure LeBron's not interested in whatever it is you're saying - you're not a role model, remember?

Also, Dan Gilbert makes championship banners for fans.

Sounds like Lil Rushie is getting into his pills again...

In all reality, the players are paid from the money that the teams rake in from tv contracts - every MLB team is already making a profit before the first pitch of the season. All your money is going straight to ownership

"How? Buy an MLS ticket. Go to a game. It's that simple."

yeah, not that simple - MLS gave my local team the bird a few years back by shutting down the Tampa Bay Mutiny. Was it because of poor attendance? Nope. Were they noncompetitive? Nope. The problem was that the owners of the Buccaneers weren't interested in buying the franchise from MLS, so rather than find another local investor, they just shut the whole team down. I would rather, and I have, and I will, buy a ticket to go see the reincarnated Tampa Bay Rowdies (who have local ownership...) in USSF D-II before buying an MLS ticket or watching a match.

thou shalt not covet thy quarterback's signature.

Chill out Wizzie, it's the weekend, man...

I liked this comment: "Monte told me I'd be a fool to stay,"

Is that the same thing he told Lane when USC called?

Brett, I'd like to at least give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't fabricate an intentionally false story, but let's face facts: the story involves USF Football, and you're Brett McMurphy. I guess this latest story is an attempt to cling to some shred of integrity, but didn't you lose that when you went to work for AOL? I know you guys want to pretend we still live in the world where sports reporters are our only conduit to the players and teams we follow, but that's so 20th century. I work with a guy who has coached HS ball in one of USF's most frequent recruiting areas. His cousin is prominent member of the team, and they both can't stand Leavitt. Unlike you though, Brett, they aren't trying to craft false allegations and both of them have denied that the "incident" happened.

did you bother to read the article? Chrebet was undrafted - that means he didn't sign for a big sum, and if he's working as a financial advisor after a 10 year playing career, it's pretty obvious he didn't make a whole lot during that span. The 2 year review wasn't solely about the football program, but about athletics spending in general. Seriously, who helped you log on?

How many of the seniors had to get permission from their probation officers to attend the game?
