I haven't followed the NBA a whole lot since the strike.

Even in the NFL for the most part anyone I think of that is making endorsement money is keeping their shit together.

Well he is a "ROLL" model. How to ROLL a doobie. Maybe not a ROLE model.

Sorry, I'm not being a grammar/spelling nazi but thought it was ironic and funny (to me atleast)

I wouldn't care if he shot up heroin and steroids before, during, and after his olympic performance. If he wins he wins if not oh well. But he has to know that shit like that will get out. It'd be one thing if a pic got out of him tagging one of those gymnist or track chicks. But smoking a doobie is pretty damn retarded if you have millions of dollars on the line.

Ok we're talking about E N D O R S E M E N T S not ticket sales... They took his endorsements because he smoked pot.

Oh and if you think that the Olympics are "barely scrapping by..."

I'm not talking about less then perfect. There is no "perfect". For example. Jordan. He had the gambling and I think they talked about him cheating on his wife from what I remember. Thats mild compared to what some guys get into. Vick for example.

I dunno about the Olympics themselves.... but Gold Medalists (most are still amateur athletes) make their money in endorsements... they don't scrape by... but all their money is made on their marketability... hopefully dude doesn't loose all of them.... he doesn't deserve that...

I'm saying there shouldn't be a $50 mill ad campaign. Further, its only since the invention of camera phones, internet, and poparatzi that this shit became an issue. Do you think back in the day that "role models" didn't have issues? FUCK yeah there were problems!!

There was always problems. But can you do what ever you want at your job? When you are a face for a company you are really working for them. Some people do this for multiple companies at a time. So they do have to watch what they do.

As far as role model goes. I think kids should look closer to home and not the big screen.

And why shouldn't there be a $50 million campaign? They decide on a budget and what they want to do. If they want to pay an athelte they sit down and decide what they think they are worth and then see if they can afford it. So if they decide they want to spend that much then they believe they can get a return on that money. And thats why it matters what a person does. It can affect their company.

I know I would jump at most $50 million job offers. And for that amount of money I think I could at least try to stay out of trouble. At least till I was finish earning that money.
