he was in every blade movie you goose lol. And i really love that trilogy of movies, especially the 3rd! Anyways, back on topic lol

36 monthes is fair harsh, i seen people get less than that over here for worse crimes. Can't he just pay it all back and then some, and maybe some community service? Or jeez, even 3-6monthes. i don't know how the law works for that sorta stuff over there anyways, i just think its a bit excessive

No, we have to crowd our jail cells with druggies and random assholes so we don't have room for the rapists and murderers... silly Aussies.

Is a really bad idea and opens up a whole can of worms.

Why should there be caps on the entertainment industry? And who will decide and enforce them?

You want them to make less money? Quit paying them so much by watching and supporting them, and convince others to do the same...

I dont know the dollar amount in question but If I had to guess I would say it is substantially less than what Snipes was in the hole for.

a lot of people forget that the reason athletes get paid so much is because they make the money back for the company (team) that employs them. People want to see them play, and so pay lots for it.

How is that any different from a cheif exec of a company running his company well and making it lots of money? I dont hear anyone crying about salary caps for company directors.

The only difference is that there is MORE money in sports, and that high flyers like lebron james, kevin garnett etc are worth every penny to the team.

Also i find that the people who are usually championing the 'lets pay athletes less' view are people who arent good at/dont like sports.

he should have to play a gritty tax worker, one day from retirement, who's family is hit by a car, driven by a actor. and he must hunt the actor down to avenge his family. BUT his partner is ben stiller, constantly cracking bad jokes. think 48 hours, but if it was made by a 13 year old.
and to make it more suspencfull : he only had 24 HOURS!
















no, that would suck....

[JBroll]
