    im not exactly a marbury sympathizer, but does anyone else feel like the media is making him out to be the philadelphia version of T.O. round 2? 

    I feel like, they tell him he isnt really a part of the team, etc. then, they need him because of all this short-handed roster stuff, and he says "no--you told me I wasn't a part of the team. "  why is that a bad thing on his part?  it seems like that is something that the average man with pride would do.

     

    your boss fires you and he tells you that you suck at your job and have a bad attitude.  THEN, someone at the office gets sick, and your boss calls you in, "so anyway...can you come in next week?"

    why would anyone say yes to that?

      I agree in principle; however, my boss doesn't pay me $22 million. Does this make a difference? Not sure.
