Holdout

[pdub]

Watching pre-season football, The Tennessee Titans versus the St. Louis Rams.

All the buzz from the talkers is about Chris Johnson, the Titans star who still hasn't shown up because he's stuck in contract negoiations. He's trying to secure an 8-year 120 MILLION dollar contract, and nothing else will do.

120 million dollars. What thu....that's......what thu....

NOBODY is worth that much.
Jesus didn't get that much in his best year.

That's what I mean. My daddy, rest his soul, said exactly that when musing about Michael Jordan all those years ago. He said, "No human is worth that much."

Amen. But the beat goes on.

Watching more pre-season football, and the talkers are still buzzing.

120 million dollars must currently be the standard for a star. A dude in St. Louis sealed it, 8 million guaranteed.

Goshalmighty. I know what I'd do, but I'm a fragile little feller to start with. I'd take the 8 million and never play. Just give me that, and I'm okay for a REAL long time. If I'm not totally stupid, 8 mills would get me to the grave. With fancy cars left over.

EDIT: 40-something million guaranteed. My mistake. A small mistake, on galactic terms.

Yeah but the season was only 12 games when he played!

This thread should have been titled 'holdup' instead of 'holdout'.......
