Kobe Bryant said he'd give all the hickeys he can. No charge.
ummm yeah....
$1,000 for multi-millionaires?!? How generous. But to be fair I suspect many are giving much more than that without old nine-toed having to tell them.
yeah but when you look at it, very few are actually multi-millionaires...
$1,000 isn't much for Deion, but it would be for a rookie fresh out of college for a journeyman lineman or something....
any little bit counts at this point.
Dunn, from the Falcons, asked for all players to donate $5,000 last night. I saw it on Sports Center.
yeah...
at this point ANYTHING is a good thing.
If they all donated 1000, that would be $1.696 million (32 teams x 53 players x $1000). Quite a big chunk.
Doesn't Deion have a bunch of "free" shoes he can dontate from his days at Florida State?
yeah like Spurrier was running a clean program...
and I am not even an FSU fan....
It's nice to see anyone donate, but when your talking about guys that make 100 million over a contract to play games,(Shaq & Alex Hernandez to name a few) a million or so is not enough to pay for Mr T's gold chains I'm afraid.
So what they are supposed give up half their contract?
a million dollars will go a long way. Besides You are thinking Alex Rodriguez, not Alex Hernandez, whom I have never heard of.
They donate what they think they are capable of. I won't judge them. I am happy they are donated to the cause and to the effort. I am happy that I judged their characters correctly.
Besides when you bring how much they make into this, it REALLY sounds quasi-socialist.
neon wears more than 10 large on his hands. 1,000? cheap prick.
you know, NO ONE forced you onto this thread.
Get the frig off if you don't have anything good to say.
Only positive postings allowed?
I know A-Rod caught some heat when it came out that he made political donations to republicans.
The key word here is "at least" $1,000, would you propose a higher or lower minimum?
He is actually asking for more then a $1,000, the key word he used was "at least".
"...$1,000 isn't much for Deion, but it would be for a rookie fresh out of college for a journeyman lineman or something...."
Agreed! New Headline:
Deion Sanders calls on athletes to give $1000 each to relief effort (except those athletes who make it to the top of their sport based on showboating, "i don't care if "team" lacks an "i" , attention grabbing whore behavior, Y'all can give a million...)
That might be too long for a headline though, huh?
not sure about that, however, he prides himself on his "mink-fedora hat" collection.... he has damn near 500 of 'em...
