I figure he has maybe 2 good seasons left before injuries and age take their toll on him.Gary R.

Why then, when it comes to corporate welfare would we not do the same? (arguments about the justness of either notwithstanding)<br /><br />That $75 million for the roof doesn&#39;t include all kinds of other costs or even interest on the $75 million. <br /><br />How long does it take to open and close? Can they not get it closed in time if weather conditions start to change? Just curious.Sean Shepardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04784017076656340302noreply@blogger.com
