Did You Ever Wish You Had Athletic Skills?

49ers agree to 6-year deal with receiver Crabtree | Football news | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle: "While specific terms of the deal, which was completed around 2 a.m. Wednesday, were not disclosed, Crabtree will receive nearly $17 million in guaranteed money, according to a person familiar with the contract. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the details weren't made public."

I think it's swell that Michael Crabtree is going to make $17 million. That's almost as much as my latest advance, but then I don't have the way with words that he has. For example, he said after ending his holdout, "It's a lot of relief off my shoulders." He also said that the negotiations ended when, "Everybody came to a reachable agreement and it happened." I don't know if Crabtree received his degree from Texas Tech, but I'm sure he did well in English class.

Are you sure he's not an Aggie?

Seventeen million guaranteed. Plus bonus money for consecutive games, playoff games, receiving records, and such stuff.

Seventeen million dollars. That's about what 20 or so people will earn in their entire lifetimes - combined. He will no doubt squander a lot of what's left after taxes.
