This morning I was pleased to see that someone had left the Pioneer Press sports page in the stall so I had something to read during my morning constitutional. I glanced over the twelve pages of bemoaning the vikings ass whipping and other football news and then found an article about Latrell Sprewell’s contract problems with the Wolves. Without going into the details of the disagreement (I can never keep this contact negotiation crap straight) I’ll just tell you that he’s making 14.6 million dollars this year and is looking for a long term contract. He’s a great player, but he’s thirty-four years old and injury prone. But never mind that, what really got to me was that he made some statement to the effect that he “had a family to feed.” Geez, Spree….out of touch with reality are we?
