- it's her piggy bank money, let her donate it if she wants to. -- nm - Andie Jan 7, 11:23 5
  - I say let her donate a percentage of it, to teach good money management. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:32
  - I say, discuss with her to donate half. She was probably saving up for something and will be frustrated when she doesn't have money later. -- nm - Amy Jan 7, 11:31 1
    - sure. she needs to understand that it will really be gone and if she really wants to do that. - Andie Jan 7, 11:33
  - but remove the paper money and quarters first :) -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 11:29 1
    - i know you're joking, but i really stand by this. if it's her money, it's her money. i don't care if she's 6. - Andie Jan 7, 11:32

  - I like this. a lot. -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 11:25
  - This and have her talk to the volunteers -- nm - amoxy Jan 7, 11:24
  - this (or buy the food yourself and drop it off, then you know what your donation will go towards) -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 11:24 6
    - disagree with this, random donations of stuff can create more work. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:26 5
      - we aren't talking a forklift full of opened food here. -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 11:28 4
        
        it should still be coordinated with the recipient organization rather than just stopping by to drop it off unannounced, I'd think... -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 11:29 1
        
        that's what I'm saying. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:29
        
        Or balnkets and towels and stuff. Our Humane Society is always looking for blankets, towels etc. -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 11:29 1
        
        if they're asking for it, yes. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:31

I do in fact have a Gretzky rookie card :) pegleg: that was my worry, fakes. Wondering if their are sites to go to and some to avoid -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 11:03 8
- What kid of autos are you looking for? Cards? 8x10s? -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 11:15 2
  - looking for pucks actually (stupid crank has me interested in some now :) ). -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 11:16 1

Why is pixie taking the name of the whimpy traitor of a brother in the Godfather? -- nm - amoxy Jan 7, 10:59 4
- Amongst the gifts that my nephew got The Bub, were two long sleeve t-shirts. - Spawn Jan 7, 11:06 1
  - heh Connor had the Rocky one and the Godfather one, but it's a black short sleeve and white long sleeve underneath -- nm - Fighting Stephen! Jan 7, 11:23
- amoxy, you do NOT come into vegas and talk to moe green like that! -- nm - fredo Jan 7, 11:00 1
  - I know it was you, Fredo. You broke my heart. -- nm - amoxy Jan 7, 11:03
Maybe football and money are not that important to Andrew Luck -- nm - amoxy Jan 7, 10:58 70
- I'm surprised this is proving to be such a hot button topic. People are a lot more certain about the NFL coming to a quick agreement than I expected. -- nm - David Jan 7, 11:17 14
  - It doesn't matter if they come to a quick agreement or not. (nm) - musubi Jan 7, 11:20 13
    - No, it's really not. You're dismissing the importance of training camp. - David Jan 7, 11:26 9
      - He would eventually get to training camp once any labor strife ends. - musubi Jan 7, 11:29 5
        
        Of course it does. That's the whole point. - David Jan 7, 11:31 4
        
        No. We're not. Preparation is important. But we're not talking about his long term professional success. We're talking about his financial choice. - musubi Jan 7, 11:35 1
        
        You're presuming there is only one contract under discussion. His career will have many contracts if he excels at his craft. - David Jan 7, 11:38
        
        If they go without / limited training camp, he's not going to be starting from Day 1 so he gets a free year of NFL preparation without his team pushin - Will Hunting Jan 7, 11:33 1
        
        So, he just wasted a year he could have spent...wait for it...playing at Stanford. Eureka! -- nm - David Jan 7, 11:35
      - Here's a question for you...can he declare for the draft, NOT hire an agent... - Jim Jan 7, 11:28 2
        
        I don't recall the NFL having the in/out rule like the NBA. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 7, 11:28 1
        
        It's not the NBA's rule, its the NCAA's, isn't it? - musubi Jan 7, 11:29
    - Not really...what happens if there's a prolonged lockout and he's come out? Now he's not in school, he's not playing football and, oh yeah, he's not - Jim Jan 7, 11:21 2
      - He can still go to school. - musubi Jan 7, 11:27
      - He can win a Grey Cup while waiting -- nm - crash davis Jan 7, 11:23
- Any thought to the fact that maybe Luck wants to win a Heisman before he goes pro? - Jim Jan 7, 11:14 4
  - before you take those odds, I have two words of warning for you - crash davis Jan 7, 11:25
  - and be cursed like most other heisman winners? -- nm - fredo Jan 7, 11:19 1
    - Maybe he's shooting for a National Championship, Heisman Trophy and Madden cover in the same year. - Jim Jan 7, 11:20
  - I think this also weighs into it -- nm - amoxy Jan 7, 11:18
- I would love to hear how some of the current NFL QB's would advise him - Strongbad Jan 7, 11:04 3
  - [deleted] 1
    - I guess we can assume he advised him to stay 1 more year, but it doesn't say that. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 7, 11:09
  - yes, no, maybe -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:06
- Maybe life is more important. - Spawn Jan 7, 11:02 43
  - maybe people are taking this football thing far too seriously. - znufrii Jan 7, 11:07 42
    - Well, it's not baseball, but still it's *multi-million dollar* game. (nm) - musubi Jan 7, 11:11
    - it stops being a agame when espn pays $2 billion a year for around 16 games -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 11:09 5
      - I admire the kid for not taking the obscene amounts of money that would have been - amoxy Jan 7, 11:13 4
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        *ding* (nm) - musubi Jan 7, 11:20
        
        this -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 11:17
        
        he's going to take obscene amounts of money next year -- nm - fredo Jan 7, 11:15
    - I am really amazed people are having such a hard time with this. - Spawn Jan 7, 11:08 34
      - I'm amazed that people don't understand that noone is saying he can't do that. - musubi Jan 7, 11:12 28
        
        the implication of that criticism being that he has some sort of personal responsibility to take the most lucrative career path... -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 11:15 3
        
        No, it doesn't. He can turn down guaranteed millions if he wants, but to deny that is what he is doing is simply burying your head in the sand. - musubi Jan 7, 11:18 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Sasquatch!!! -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 11:30
        
        I disagree with that, as well. Especially if I am right and his coach is staying with him. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:13 23
        
        There's zero question it's a bad fiscal move - Will Hunting Jan 7, 11:21
        
        Then you are flat out wrong. He will get guaranteed millions if he does to the draft this year. - musubi Jan 7, 11:16 19
        
        Maybe he realizes, that after a certain point, millions are millions. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:18 18
        
        Which is his right to do. BUT IT IS STILL TURNING DOWN MILLIONS. - musubi Jan 7, 11:18 17
        
        Millions now or a year later are still millions. - Spawn Jan 7, 11:22 7
        
        unless some DL breaks his leg or he gets concussion prone or his stock drops (Jake Locker says hi from MacDonalds drivethru window) -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 11:27 6
        
        He could get hit by a bus on the way to the draft. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:31
        
        And Sam Bradford, who had the worst injury a QB can get, says hi from the Offensive Rookie of the Year podium. -- nm - David Jan 7, 11:29 4
        
        So you think Bradford is the rule, and not the exception? - musubi Jan 7, 11:30 3
        
        I think that Peyton Manning is the best comparison. Bradford is just a recent example that injuries can be overstated. - David Jan 7, 11:33
        
        This guy is the next PManning. - Spawn Jan 7, 11:32 1
        
        I am nowhere near ready to say that, but his situation is the most similar to Manning in a dozen years. -- nm - David Jan 7, 11:34
        
        people turn down jobs that offer more money for personal reasons everyday. -- nm - Andie Jan 7, 11:20 8
        
        Noone disagree with the factualness of that statement. - musubi Jan 7, 11:22 7
        
        right. and. generally speaking, ST tends to applaud people who put something before money. why is this different? just because it's MORE money? -- nm - Andie Jan 7, 11:23 6
        
        Well, frankly, yes. If I turn a $20M engineering job down, because I want to finish my degree, knowing full well that there's a good chance I don't - musubi Jan 7, 11:33
        
        Becuase honestly, sports are different. If I turn down a job with Company A for more money, there's Company B/C/D....in his case, - Will Hunting Jan 7, 11:24 3
        
        Think of people that take a year off after college. Why is this different (other than making even more sense)? -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:26 2
        
        Because in other fields the job offers from companies don't change from year to year as radically as they do in sports. (nm) - musubi Jan 7, 11:34
        
        If my franchise QB wants to take a year off after college to find himself, I'm not drafting him. - Will Hunting Jan 7, 11:31
        
        because people have an unheathy obsession with football. -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 11:24
        
        they are losing 7 offensive starters. They are taking a huge hit -- nm - Beaker Jan 7, 11:15 1
        
        Loyalty to his school and friends says a lot about him. - Spawn Jan 7, 11:19
      - The only thing I haven't heard is people whining about how this affects their fantasy teams - znufrii Jan 7, 11:09 4
        
        Because it doesn't. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 7, 11:11
        
        A rookie QB is risky, at best. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:10 2
        
        I wouldn't know... -- nm - znufrii Jan 7, 11:11
        
        not anymore -- nm - fredo Jan 7, 11:11
- Maybe he'd rather take the certainty of another college season than the uncertainty of a lockout/strike/messed up NFL season. -- nm - ceregon Jan 7, 11:00
- Unpossible! -- nm - ST Jan 7, 10:59
[an error occured while processing this 'that's not a banana' directive] -- nm - Qale Jan 7, 10:57
