Player salaries

blue65packer @blue65packer (11826) • United States 20 Feb 09

One of the biggest thing I hate about the NFL(and other pro sports) is how make these player make! Now that free agency is almost here, some free agents are getting greedy! Way greedy like Albert Haynesworth! He wants $12 million...

1fastcat I am jealous of the salary they make. however it comes down to supply and demand. The supply of top flight players who are really capable of being stars in the NFL is very low. Think of how many guys play high school ball, then how many move on to college and...

clorissa123 @clorissa123 (4926) • United States 18 Feb 09

Imagine that, even though you have a college diploma, and you couldn't find a work. Would you consider to work at a chicken plant. It was just a vivid example, would you mind to have a menial job temporarily? Majority of people...

1fastcat Well, the PhD is one thing, but a bachelor's degree these days is really nothing special at all. It is about what having a high school diploma used to be. A bachelor's degree diploma can be used to start a fire to keep yourself warm on a cold night if you...

1fastcat The city where i live doesn't have a big mass transit system, so it takes twice as long to get someplace by bus. We do not have trains. If the time was about the same i would rather take a bus so i could spend the time reading the paper or resting my eyes...

Fontana Picks

TLChimes @TLChimes (4822) • United States 19 Feb 09

1fastcat Well if you want to play the odds you would have to go with a Roush or Hendrick car. But I agree, I don't want to see the same exact guys win every race. I want to see more competition. I have rooted for Tony Stewart since he came over from IRL but I just...

Which do you listen first, head or heart?

zandi458 @zandi458 (28102) • Malaysia 21 Feb 09

Often we hear or say it ourselves, "cant make up my mind". now when you make a decision, do you follow your head or your heart? Your brains or your feelings? Logic or emotions? Maybe that depends on the kind of decision it is....

1fastcat After years of experience and disappointment I decided to listen to my head. I think your heart means well but it is most likely to lead you off course following unrealistic dreams and fantasies. One thing is for sure - never ever leave your home, job and...

do you see the picture crying?

ringbearer25 @ringbearer25 (402) • United States 21 Feb 09

Is There A Big Gap Between Bad & Good People?

thedailydisco @thedailydisco (180) • Norway 20 Feb 09

As a fan of genetics and commercial psychology i have been wondering if there is a bigger gap between good and bad people today? I have observed some ex on that question. For instant if you are in a shop and somebody gets rude,...

What motivates you in life? What makes you go that EXTRA MILE?

jamborieman @jamborieman (563) • Philippines 21 Feb 09

Hey guys So, what motivates you? I know we all have our depressing moments here but what motivates you to get out of that depression and go for life? What pushes you to get up on your bed while you are still sleepy? What's...

1fastcat You know I don't really have a motivating factor like that. I just wanted to say that it is really reassuring to see how many people have so many of the same insecurities and doubts. It seems like when you get down to it, people have a lot of things in common...

doc_alma_jones @doc_alma_jones (822) • Philippines 20 Feb 09

1fastcat I would like to say it is as simple as cutting those people out of your life. Somehow they always seem to end up in a circle of your friends so you cannot avoid them unless you want to dump the entire circle. And you can't try to get the rest of the circle...

Do you have a Bucket list?

1fastcat Good point. It also lets you look back some day and reflect on all the great things you have done in your life. So I definitely recommend putting the list in writing or typing.

Fairness Doctrine an excuse to remove Christians from the radio airwaves?

suspenseful @suspenseful (40192) • Canada 21 Feb 09

I heard that the Democratically run Congress wishes to reintroduce the Fairness Doctrine that would require that every broadcast or internet site that has one point of view would have to a dissenting view on as well. Now there is...

My novel is better than others I've read lately.

mipen2006 @mipen2006 (5528) • Australia 20 Feb 09

I have been in Australia on holiday for the past ten weeks, and have read about six novels, not classics, but stories that we read for entertainment, and on long flights. I think my novel is as good, if not better than the ones I...

Why Do Some of Us Aim So Low...

browneyed @browneyed (2522) • United Kingdom 21 Feb 09

Hear me out. I'm not out to judge in this thread. It's just that I often see people aiming for pennies online when they are worth SO MUCH MORE. I've been guilty of doing that myself. Of settling for less. Why do some of us...

What is your favorite steak marinade?

laglen @laglen (19759) • United States 30 Dec 08

Do you marinade your steak? If so, what do you marinade with? I use Italian dressing, and soy sauce. If not, what do you do to your steak before cooking? I prefer grilling but will pan fry in cast iron. What is your method?

1fastcat I used to marinade my steaks with Allegro original or hickory. Lately though I have been buying some really good steaks and I just use Emiril's seasoning instead. I think if you buy cheap steaks you should marinate, but for better steaks stick with...

Favorite Cut of Steak?

Shar19 @Shar19 (8231) • United States 2 Jan 09

We don't cook steak too often. When we have it I like to cook it until it's about medium. I always get confused as to what cut of steak is the best to eat. I usually try to buy porterhouse or t-bone steaks. I used to buy sirloin...

1fastcat These aren't really weird, but venison steak is better than any beef steak I have ever had. Swordfish steak is also very good. If you didn't know what it was you would not guess it was even a fish. It doesn't taste or have the texture of any fish I ever ate.

Who has better steak? Applebees or Outback Steak House?

mamabeezy @mamabeezy (172) • United States 11 Feb 09

I would definately say Outback. I love everything they have their. And the seasonings on the steak are just so good. And they always cook it to perfection! So, Applebees or Outback?

1fastcat I have to agree that Outback is better. I like the NY strip best there. Personally I really don't like Applebee's that much. Plus you gotta love the bloomin' onion. It's fun to eat.
