Title: Daunte Culpepper
Post by: The Whale on July 17, 2007, 04:12:26 PM
Shortly after being released by the Dolphins:

"As I was going through this process I heard about a quote by Gandhi that best expresses my thoughts about this victory: 'First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win,'" Culpepper, who serves as his own agent, said in an e-mail. "Now that I have won my freedom and I get to choose my next team, I am just like many other people who have to go out and find employment so that I can take care of my family."

Sure Daunte, you're exactly like those other people   :jerkoff:

Who was the NBA player that had to worry about feeding his family? Ron Artest?

The thing is that Sprewell was employed when he made that comment. He was already making ten million a year (complete guess) and he was asking for more saying "I have to feed my kids, man."

Frank Thomas did the same thing a few years ago when the White Sox invoked the "Dimished skills" portion of his contract, which dropped him to ~5 mil a year.

"As far as the money thing, I've got kids to support and a lifestyle to support, and I like living my lifestyle"

Yeah, but at least he threw in that it was his lifestyle to support and he is acknowledging that his lifestyle costs a lot of &@#%ing money. Sprewell just said that he had kids to feed. Which makes me ask the question.. what the &@#% do you feed your kids?

I think Ewing said "but we spend more" in defense of his need for a high salary or something.

How many kids does Sprewell have?

If Shawn Kemp* had made that comment, I would understand.
