Didn't imagine that a FA candidate doing a sports interview would get paid for it but you learn something new everyday. I could see experts on a subject on CNN or something but I thought most were not paid outside of what they make off of book promotions and the like.
I think it has very little with the fact that he is a FA candidate and more with the news story of a guy turning down the NFL...I think that is where the story is. IMO

Very possible. Travis will probably post the economic break down of Sicko's interview revenue over the last week soon for us. :lol:

And then start a thread on what he will be doing with the money. :lol:

Hey cocksucker, you'll have to forgive me for not giving two bits of a shit about UNH. I have more important things going on so sue me.

Just heard on ESPN today that he changed his mind, and accepted an offer from Dallas. Maybe he read this thread. :lol:

I asked Sicko if the deluge of public response on the Internet and from friends inside and outside of football had much to do with his decision. The majority of reaction from readers to the Sicko story in Monday Morning Quarterback thought he was blowing a tremendous opportunity to try out for an NFL team. At the end of the day, Sicko agreed with them.

"I really didn't read about it very much, but friends of mine told me what was out there," Sicko said. "I try not to let outside forces influence my life. The Cowboys called and reiterated their interest in me, and their coaches said they were interested in me as a player and person, and that made me feel good. I don't see this as anything that will be hurtful in my life."
