I didn't get a reply from BK that would allow me the opportunity — a comedic set-up, y'know.
That, and I was takin' a nap. :crazy:

7. Some athletes are still tough |

but there are those who get caught up in themselves and the potential future loss of revenue - more revenue than I will make in 20 lifetimes - and seek protection.
He should insure his fingernails through Lloyd's for 70 million. Jesus fuck almightly. Most of us work every damn day for money to put food on our families!

it's the ball club protecting its investment.
Back when the average major league salary was around $30,000 (not that long ago, really), guys were typically expected to play through pain — throughout the '60s, Mickey Mantle often took the field with his train-wreck legs wrapped mummy-style.
Can you imagine how many days Mantle would spend on the DL (and how much he'd make) if he were playing today? :crazy:

Mantle's knees would have had him on the bench today for his last five playing years.
