Ha Ha had two picks, in the game, and he could not slap down a silly duck, from Russell?
Football ain't baseball. Bill Buckner let a simple grounder, trickle through his legs, that would have been the last out of the 1986 WEorld Series. He should not have been even in the line up.
He cost the LA Dodgers the World Series, by making the last out at Third Base,
A violation of a cardinal rule of baseball. His saving grace was he was tagged out in the face.

Some baseball stuff. Not to paraphase the Scout Thinking of the MLB, back in the day. He was good looking.
See the movie Moneyball, or read the book.

Jerry Kramers iconic ghostwritten sports diary. He settled for 32, 500 dollars to play right guard for Vince Lombardi, in 1967. with who he negotiated through a Lombardi Lackey.
In todays dollars that would be worth $235,356.89 in 2014

In 1959, Vince Lombardi agreed to being paid 36,000 dollars a year for 5 years. by the Green bay Packers
That was worth $262,869.28 in 2014 dollars.

Point is, an NFL coach mutally agreed to get fired, and three days later signed a piece of paper, is going to get paid
8 million a year in 2015 dollars, by the college he played quarterback for. and which begs a question.....is this sport that vakuable,
to the American Pysche, that we hard working Americans have to put up with this type of insult?
To offer up our sustinance, to it's being?

Seriously, some NFL team, is going to sign a player, sweating through his suit while he tries to print his name, on an NFL Contract,
after 3-4 years of bering coddled, by the "Intitution of Higher Learning" he spent laboring for, during the end months of an annual earthly rotation,
of this planet, in the Northern Hemisphere.
