NBAnnoying!

I'm finding the NBA to be quite annoying right now! I don't care one bit where these overpaid turkeys choose to go play this upcoming season! Free agency just started and I'm already tired of seeing espn show reporters standing outside some "secret meeting" as high-dollar cars go by. Is it a secret when reporters are standing all over the place?

Did anyone hear about the ridiculous contract that former Suns player Joe Johnson is about to sign? A 6 year deal for $119 million. He's not a dominate player that should command that kind of money. Plus he's 29 years old. So he's not exactly in his prime as far as basketball age goes. But Atlanta's only choice is to throw money at him or he'll walk.

Many of these free agents simply opted out of their current deals so they could join this money hungry free agency frenzy. Using each other as leverage to drive up the amount of their own contract. I find it all to be rather irritating and distasteful! I'm thinking these players will have their fun now as they have teams over a barrel but come next summer things could turn sour with owners opting for a lockout!

There are people in this country that are barely making it from paycheck to paycheck. Lay-offs happening all over the place. I just talked to a friend of mine this week that has been laid-off due to cutbacks. But yet we are forced to hear about and watch images of these overpaid arrogant babies sign their new lucrative deals with their new/old team. NBAnnoying! And now I'll get down off my soapbox! Lol!
