LOL, most likely the guy stopped returning calls and wouldn't give them permission to resell or get rid of them, so....sue him. I'll bet he'll get it taken care of now.

That's great! Mike R. knows how to run a buisness. I'd sure like to get my hands on a beretta worked over by Tac Ops.

Re: Tactical ops rifles made tmz
it has never made any sense to me why they pay someone who plays a damn game for a living so much money, how about that kind of a salary for police, fire and military since they all risk their life everyday in their jobs

Re: Tactical ops rifles made tmz
Ever seen any broke owners of NBA teams?
They pay that much because the fans will pay to see the players.
That's known in economic theory as "what the market will bear." When it stops working, the salaries will fall. Not yet.

That's right. And a free market will always stabilize itself. I don't agree with what they make, so I don't watch or go to the games. Lot of good that's doing.

Thanks Lindy, I have an MBA and am quite aware business and economic theories

Well, that was an interesting comment from a person with an MBA. Apparently having <span style="font-style: italic">studied</span> market theories is not sufficient to convince one of their validity.

Re: Tactical ops rifles made tmz
That was my personal opinion on the matter, it is beyond me why the NBA promotes and supports the gangster/thug lifestyle and then also rewards it with exorbitant salaries. I fully understand that is boils down to the fact that the teams generate huge profits and that is directly derived from the players that they have their teams. I was merely stating that we live in a world were people who risk their lives are not paid sufficiently and thugs who can dribble a ball for a living are grossly overpaid and are generally poor examples for the youth of today. Being that you are ex-military I thought you would of appreciated the supportive comment.

If you don't perceive a conflict between those two statements, I don't know what else I can say.
As for myself, I don't think I'm smart enough to know what people should be paid. Several governments founded on the theory that the government knew have not done well.
I don't attend sports events of any kind. Once in a while, I watch tennis on TV. So, I'm indifferent to the existence of the NBA, NFL, and similar collections of people some of whom are clearly thugs.

Re: Tactical ops rifles made tmz
And my wang is bigger than both of yours, so can we stop the pissing contest?
Thuggery is disgusting in the NBA, check.
Right now there is little rational basis for player's salaries and therefore they continue to make outsized money because of the scale of the profits to the teams, check.
k? I think we are good now.

Re: Tactical ops rifles made tmz
well this is an easy one - if the owners can't fill their stands on a weekly basis they have to decide where to cut - could be players, vendors, or maintenance. The market always justifes the prices of the players. Someone is going to get the money and that is why there are lawyers and player's unions to ensure they get their fair share of the profits. It may be sick but that is the way it is.
oh, and I only have an MSA...not as good as an MBA but...I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night

While I'd love to get some of that NBA coin in my line of work, I have to agree with Lindy. The NBA, MLB, NFL and most other pro sports employ the players as entertainers. The market bears a high price for those whom give us diversion. I don't begrudge these guys for the money they make, and I chose the line of work I'm in knowing the pay scale. It is too idealistic to think those who put it on the line should get paid the most, that can never happen.

Re: Tactical ops rifles made tmz
MBA's are dimes per dozen, unfortunately. Seems like MBA would command only slightly less than NBA. The unfairness is palpable.
I have always made the most, when I have been exposed the least.

Re: Tactical ops rifles made tmz
I know the real deal on this concerning Tac Ops and the Law Suit. There's much more to this than what TMZ reported that cant be made public for obvious reasons.
The storage fees were made known up-front, no surprises. Once this deal is settled the details will come out but until then.......mums the word.

Thats how it always is.....more to the story that they leave out or can't talk about. I'm sure Mike explained EVERYTHING before the deal was done, and I'm sure the buyer was thinking about clips, silencers, and hydroshocks.......anything except the nuances of the deal.

Professional sports, violence, character flaws, and tragedy are linked. Why? Because the truth is the exact opposite of the story and image that we are sold on television: the truth is that the vast majority of us are unable to compete at anything on a superior level.
George Orwell wrote about the 'proles' in <span style="font-style: italic">1984</span> that they project their own fears and failures on professional sport. What could he have meant by that? OK, let's take tennis as an example: Look in the stands at the Paris Open or Wimbledon. The only people who can afford to attend in person are the rich and famous. Do these spectators believe that hitting a ball back and forth is an achievement of benefit to the world? Or by their attendance in person are they trying to convince themselves that they are not simply average consumers of a spectacle performed by 'branded' slaves?
As for the sports stars themselves, weakness of character <span style="text-decoration: underline">is</span> the tragic element essential to the suffering that <span style="text-decoration: underline">makes</span> them stars.
The result is that we, in the stands at Wimbledon or glued to our television sets, remain stuck in the fantasy: ill-equipped and unable to maintain any moral opinion about them for longer than the next phase of their own personal tragedy. So, it's entertainment; not sport.
Meanwhile society continues to dress them up and pay them vast sums of money to compete with each other, but then acts shocked when in their personal lives they feel most comfortable using violence as a means of solving their own problems.
It's not an economic problem that needs analysis by an MBA, it's a ritual that tells much about how people behave and what they will pay to see.

Larry Bird was a superstar in the NBA and he wasn't a douchebag, he was a star because what he did on the court, not what he did off it.
