JUST WONDERING

***** I was shocked the Steelers tried to deal Ben Roethisberger . All they asked for was a high draft pick . That is not much for an elite Quarterback . Ben has won two Super Bowls by the age of 28 .

I was even more shocked there were no takers . There are not more than five elite Quarterbacks in the NFL. They are very hard to find & here one is available for a draft pick .

There are three reasons why no team pulled the trigger on the deal ,

1. Ben has a 102 Million dollar contract that must be paid out.
2. Ben will miss 25 to 37 % of the season due to suspension.
3. Ben's behavior issues may not be fully disclosed at this time.

When there are no takers at that price ,it makes you wonder.

***** Tim Tebow was a first round pick . The Broncos are doing some risky business . The odds are against Tebow becoming a good NFL Quarterback .

Tebow , who had the greatest career of any college player,has three major issues . The concerns are ,

1. his throwing motion must be reconstructed
2. he was no experience under center
3. he has little experience reading defenses

All this means Tebow is starting the race far behind the other QB's. Can Tim catch up ? The Broncos are betting a lot of money he can .

***** Alex Rodriguez makes 33 million dollars a year to play for the Yankees . Think about that !

Using some math skills I learned at MIT I discovered these facts

1. A - Rod is paid more than 203,703 dollars a game.

The highest paid Yankee in 1969 made 100,000 dollars -- a year .

A - Rod makes more than double that every game .

2. A - Rod makes about 70,000 every time he comes to bat . Wonder what it cost every time he farts .

3. A - Rod makes more than the entire Pirate team .
