I'm hearing Crawford got the lender to lower the payments on the back end due to the inevitable, impending selfless act of Sherman restructuring his deal to keep Wilson in Seattle.

Sherman never answered the 10 Tough Questions. I don't think he'll pan out.

Will Crawford's bat shit crazy wife keep her keys to the house so she can give up the fancy feast to Sherm?

I think you're thinking of Doug Christy and his wife.

FM. I was pressing.

In my defense they are both from the Beach.

Initially thought this was a joke, Maple Valley - Sherman could afford anything he wants along Lake Washington

Nonetheless, I like that he's thrifty...value investor

Jamal bought it (near new) for $3.2 in 2006

He is a great football, but to make 60 million to a play a sport is absurd. Twist it however you would like...GO!

Like my libertarian brother, who makes about $40,000 a year says, "WHATEVER THE MARKET WILL BEAR!!!1!!"

Of course the market "beared" way less for athletes (adjusted for inflation) 30-35 years ago, but facts are annoying.

It's so dumb to hear poor people complain about athlete salaries as the spend all of their free time watching sports and spending 40% of their disposable income on tickets.

This is capitalism. You charge what people will pay.

I sat by a group of the grimiest people I have ever seen at the last Seahawks game I went to a few years ago. They were fat, had missing and rotten teeth, etc. They spend their money on season tickets and buy 3 $150 jerseys every year instead of fixing their teeth, buying some decent shoes, maybe upgrading their trash bucket they have been driving since '96. That's sports fans for you, particularly NFL fans.

NFL fans are the trashiest. That said, it might be changing? The last NFL game I went to was Seahawks/Chiefs in 2010 and the people around us were pretty middle-class looking.

I know NFL attendance is down since 2007. Most of it is probably due to this economy. Maybe people don't want to be financially raped and pay for bullshit like "personal seat licenses" and are voting with their wallets.

So why is college football attendance down?

Shit schedules, kickoff times vary from 11 a.m. to midnight, and with widescreen, flatscreen TVs, it's just like being there!!!11!!11
