   Whoever.  This topic illustrates what Dan means about the sports world 
going crazy.  I really don't care if Duval and Woods get paid.  They probably 
should. (Oh yeah - they DO get $5000 plus expenses.  Not bad for four days' 
work.)  I don't care what Ron Mercer gets.  I don't care what Pervis gets.  I 
want to watch basketball and golf, games played by athletes (OK, cut me some 
slack here) who want to play the game to win. I don't want to read about 
salaries, salary caps, insulting offers and fiscal whining.  It's not that I 
begrudge them the bucks.  I just don't want 90% of my sports news filtered 
through CPAs, agents and spin doctors.
    For what it's worth, count me among those who really want to see some 
games this year.  Attention Kenny Anderson, Antoine Walker:  you are the two 
who better step up this year.  No more excuses.  Time to walk the walk, as 
they say.  This is a truly exciting time for Celtic fans.  Guess I better get 
me one of them dishes, huh?
