Rob Gronkowski tweets about being underpaid and other top stories.

  • Rob Gronkowski tweets about being underpaid

    APIn the wake of last night’s news that tight end Dwayne Allen signed a four-year, $29.4 million deal to stay with the Colts, some have suggested that Allen will actually make more than Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski over the next four years. While that’s not accurate (damn those facts that get in the way of an otherwise perfectly hot take), it can be said that Gronkowski is underpaid, relative to Allen. Regardless of what anyone else thinks, Gronkowski seems to think he’s underpaid, relati..

    Vikings releasing wide receiver Mike Wallace
    APOnce upon a time, Mike Wallace was one of the prizes of the opening days of free agency. Today, he’s unemployed. The Vikings officially have released the veteran speedster, who has failed to live up to his potential in two cities since his big contract. The Dolphins traded Wallace to the Vikings rather than continue to pay him, and he responded by catching 39 passes for 473 yards last year. That didn’t mesh with the nearly $12 million he was owed this year. The Dolphins gave him what wa..

  • President Obama: A Letter of Recommendation for Diane Humetewa ...

    President Obama, I hope you are well; congratulations on your imminent retirement. The Supreme Court has a job opening; it is in dire need of a certain kind of wisdom. I suggest that you seriously consider a type of wisdom that is the exact opposite of the thinking that most recently occupied the position.
