"I like money."
Lot's of people are getting some straight cash, homey.
- Nick Mangold is set to become the highest paid center in the No Fun League. Mangold is close to signing a deal that would net him $55million over 7 years, of which $24million is guaranteed. Guaranteed money in the NFL is what's up. Congrats to Nick on this deal and being the only OSU offensive lineman worth a damn in the NFL since Mr Pancake himself.
- Evan Turner signed a multi-year deal with Bejing-based athletic apparel company Li-ning. Other NBA athletes to endorse this brand include Baron Davis and Shaq. in year two of this contract ET will have his own signature shoe. May we suggest these be called "Villains"? Chinese companies are making some serious moves with NBA players with guys like Turner, Davis, Artest and even KG lending their images various brands. China is also the NBA's fastest growing market in the world. (all these logos look the same, btw. don't even make that joke, too late, I know some of you did. That's racist, bros.)
- Colorado inked a $1.4 million deal to come to Columbus for a beat down. This was set in motion by the summer's conference expansionpolooza and Colorado joining the pac 10. The Buffs had scheduled Cal in a non-conference game in 2011, however this is now a conference game and made for an opening. Colorado contacted Ohio State and initially asked for $2million, but Gene Smith got them down to $1.4 million. Dear Colorado, how do you get the huevos to call Ohio State and ask for $2 million? This isn't the early 90's when you were good. Here's your check, now kindly assume the position.
Doesn't this guy just bother you? I mean, look at him and that haircut. Is he 12? Also, I blame Dan Hawkins for every media member's current hard-on for Boise State. Plus this guy couldn't coach an NFL All Pro team to victory against Western Kentucky. He's that bad.
