[xpress34]

I just saw this on ESPN's Bottom Line and had to check the web:

Are you kidding me??? In today's economy???

And their going to borrow it from a bank that received bail out money???

How about the players and the players union 'make a sacrifice' like the rest of us are being asked to do and take a cut in pay to help out...

Just my .02
