   Giving some of these Jocks such an inflated salary is like giving a kid a hundred dollar bill to go to the candy store and ask them to 'bring back the change'. And to think they were drafted from Colleges too.

   Jordan's being a cad for ducking his debts. And the Mirage can try and attach whatever interest to the unpaid debt they want. But something about the "18%" rubs me the wrong way. Maybe I'm unfairly associating them with credit card companies that are ripping people off by raising rates, even as their own borrowing costs have never been cheaper. I don't know... I half want Jordan to tell the Mirage: "I'll pay you 30 cents on the dollar for the principle, and you can shove your 18%. Take it or leave it." Hey, MGM-Mirage has hosed it's own creditors. Why not a little turn about?

   Why do the casinos continue to publicly embarrass athletes who don't pay their marker? These same athletes will soon be the only rich people on Earth dumb enough to come to town to blow tens of thousands. Let's not scare them off. They are desperately needed until the next boom comes!

    This bro got millions from the Raiders a few years ago and now he can't pay $20,000?

    When he left the Jets and went to the Raiders they gave him huge money.

    here's the thing...

    at some point the casinos have to be asked "why did you let this person ring up such a huge debt?"

    there should be some kind of responsibility on THEIR end as well.

    everyone is suing everyone. i guess the mirage wanted to get in on the action.

    what these athletes need to do is trade a certain level of play for a public appearance at the resort to sign autographs, take photos, etc.

    the casino makes money from the people coming in to see them and the athlete gets to gamble.

    These spoiled rich athletes dont take anything serious until the word 'lawsuit' is mentioned.
    Mirage has probably contacted this guys peeps dozens of times and gotten the run around. This
    lawsuit will at least get this dead beats attention.
