I can't believe he is already on his 2nd contract. Time flies

 

[thunder5]

I love seeing our guys make it to their second contract

 

[RDU VOL#14]

I would love to have seen Palmer in this offense.

You’re not wrong but what makes you say that?

?

Guessing they mean because the money for playing a game.

Eh, probably not worth discussing. It's just a crazy world where entertainers are paid such ridiculous amounts of money. I know the economics of it all, and I know this particular contract is a drop in the bucket compared to many others, but things are just out of whack in general.

Merit and the Market are two different things, unfortunately. About the best we can hope for is a political/economic system that’s laissez-faire enough to avoid government controlling the money on the one hand and social democratic enough to avoid money controlling government on the other, both of which result in oligarchy. We aren’t doing so great at threading that needle right now, but it could be worse.

Now do politicians net worth if you want to feel really terrible.

I don’t disagree but it’s bc of people like me and you that watch sports that cause them to be paid so much

And you make the billionaire owners even richer.

Well if millions of people tuned in to watch teachers and social workers and whatnot do their jobs, then they would get paid the same. Idk what you would suggest be done with all the money, but I doubt it would be a better solution.

Should have held out for more money. jmho

Crazy to say in this day and age, that $36,000,000.00 doesnt sound like THAT much money. Relative to other sports contracts. Specifically baseball players who make in the hundreds of millions, is dumb.

If i'm doing any of this personally, i'm getting paid as much as humanly possible, then i'm out. done. selling insurance.
