Every time a new mega contract is in the news I want to puke. Salaries of athletes and ticket prices have really turned me off all sports the past 10 years especially. Now college players will be paid a salary from TV revenue... problem will eventually lead to some downfall of sports.

Holdouts in the NFL are the worst, yeah I know how the contracts work. Part of the reason I gave up FF was when a keeper I had held out after only 1 year of his new deal.

Bobby Bonilla got his check the other day, he's still happy with the contract the sucker Mets gave him or took it over...
The Bobby Bonilla contract was a loser for the Mets for sure. The Chris Davis contract might be the worst. They owe him more than $40M between now and 2037. He'll be getting a nice little check for a while. FWIW, at least Bobby was a good baseball player. Most people probably don't even remember Chris Davis.
