NFL Season to start?

in case talks break down again got this from a friend, let me know if you need more info, i thought it was funny, dukgnfsn
 

This is a heart breaking situation. I have signed up to  help, I hope you will also.

Please help.

  Since September 11, 2001, Americans have come together as never before in our  generation. We have banded together to overcome tremendous adversity. We have  weathered direct attacks on our own soil, wars overseas, corporate/government  scandal, layoffs, unemployment, stock price plunges, droughts, fires, mad  cow, SARS, high gasoline prices, and a myriad of economic and physical  disasters both great and small. But now, we must come together once again to  overcome our greatest challenge yet.

Hundreds of Professional Football Players in our very own nation are going to  be locked out, living at well below the seven-figure salary level. And as if  that weren't bad enough they could be deprived of their life giving pay for  several months, possibly longer, as a result of the lockout situation. But  you can help!

  For only $27,080 a month, about $902.75 a day (that's less than the cost of a  large screen projection TV) you can help an NFL player remain economically  viable during his time of need. This contribution by no means solves the  problem as it barely covers the annual minimum salary, but it's a start, and  every little bit will help!

  Although $900 may not seem like a lot of money to you, to a football player  it could mean the difference between spending the lockout golfing in Florida or on a  Mediterranean cruise. For you, nine hundred dollars is nothing more than a  month's rent, a mortgage payment, or a month of medical insurance, but to a  football player, $900 will partially replace his daily salary.

  Your commitment of less than $900 a day will enable a player to buy that home  entertainment center, trade in the year-old Lexus for a new Ferrari, or enjoy  a weekend in Rio.

  HOW WILL I KNOW I'M HELPING?

  Each month, you will receive a complete financial report on the player you  sponsor. Detailed information about his stocks, bonds, 401(k), real estate,  and other investment holdings will be mailed to your home. Plus, upon signing  up for this program, you will receive an unsigned photo of the player  lounging during the lockout on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean (for a signed  photo, please include an additional $150).. Put the photo on your  refrigerator to remind you of other peoples' suffering.

  HOW WILL HE KNOW I'M HELPING?

  Your NFL player will be told that he has a SPECIAL FRIEND who just wants to  help in a time of need. Although the player won't know your name, he will be  able to make collect calls to your home via a special operator in case  additional funds are needed for unforeseen expenses.

  YES, I WANT TO HELP!
