Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

Financial Advice, NFL-Style




The players have decertified their union, and the owners have locked out the players. Both sides have thumbed their noses at the other, and the NFL season is on the line. No one knows what will happen or how long it will take to reach agreement.

Seahawks lineman Chester Pitts said that most players should be alright financially, but he added that he nevertheless advises the younger guys like so:

"I tell guys, 'Why do you need that $250,000 car? A Mercedes is a great car and it's $85,000. And don't be showin' off and buyin' that Cristal. That stuff goes for $500-$600 a bottle! For everyday use, Dom Perignon is a perfectly serviceable champagne, and it's only $150.' "
