The future Hall of Famer San Francisco OF has become an illegal substance in games and other promotions, thanks to his decision not to sign the league's standard licensing agreement. As Spray Hitter puts it, "We're not sure who this guy is but he quietly put up some fantastic numbers last year."
The situation with Jordan was that he had an agreement with Sega, I believe, to put his name on their game. Since the BvsL was an EA Sports product, they couldn't use his name. I dunno what the deal is with Bonds...

Lavar Arrington pulled the same crap when he came into the NFL. Players think because they're (potential) All-Stars they create more value and should be compensated for it. There's a chance they're not aware of the difference a union makes in their lives. I'm sure the NFL would be happy to disband the union and negotiate those contracts themselves and then "share" a piece with the players.

Even more proof that Bobby Bonds is a fucktard.

Either way, San Francisco OF has fucktard heritage.

Fucktardism: genetic or chemically enhanced?

What? You can't tell how much of a fucktard he is by the size of his head?

when i saw it on ESPN, i thought it was some fantasy thing...like how in some football leagues you can have the "Miami QB" no matter who actually fills the position. oh and fucktard "barry bonds" yields 8 results (and hey guess who is number one) while 'fucktard "bobby bonds"' yields zero. (oh and you people owe me an hour of my life back.)

i noticed that too. reminded me of the old school video games where michael jordan wasn't on 'bulls vs. lakers' (if i remeber right....one of those gensis games) but his likeness and stats were there though. as a kid, it made the game seem a little imperfect....like a mix between 'bases loaded' and 'rbi baseball'....but after the first game, i forgot about it and just pictured MJ as the guy who's name no one knew (or was he just a number 23) i didn't get the point then and i still don't now. why? is it a money issue? if not, then why pass it up?
