| "I feel we're all overpaid. Every professional athlete is overpaid. I got a phenomenal contract - much more money than I ever thought I'd make. I wouldn't say I'm embarrassed by it, but deep down, I know I'm not worth it. To my shame, though, I have to admit I asked for it." |

Share Your Memories!

Our sites have always been by you and about you. If
you check
our TV Forums or our Technology & Science forums, you'll find literally thousands of messages from fans
of 1970s TV shows, survivors of hurricanes or aircraft accidents, etc. from all over the world sharing their memories, asking
questions, making comments. Our baseball section is new, but don't let
that stop you from sharing
your memories of the first game you went to, your favorite player, a
now-forgotten stadium, etc. Of course you can also ask questions, post
trivia, tell the world what you think of Barry Bonds, or just read what
others are saying.
