Heck, why not just add a clause that will pay him $50 bazillion if he wins the Nobel Prize for Physics, the Miss America Pageant, and the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature?Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07449307677458423829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106257093107729484.post-70503223544361907952009-04-28T13:21:00.000-04:002009-04-28T13:21:00.000-04:0026 games 130 IP.26 games 130 IP.Alex Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9106257093107729484.post-15677585343880539202009-04-28T12:47:00.000-04:002009-04-28T12:47:00.000-04:00My gosh, what a stupid contract!!!

This would be like me being a porn star and getting paid for the number of minutes I could last. Simply ridiculous to the extent that I'll decline to make a prediction, other than to say he'll have the usual nice time on the DL this year, yet again.ditmars1929noreply@blogger.com
