Who would give Tracy McGrady $50 for an autograph?!?

Seems Tracy McGrady and I might actually have something in common after all...

he's a fan of lawsuits!!

Yes, according to TMZ.com (see, I'm worldly and educated - I read all the important websites for hard-hitting news), McGrady and a handful of other NBA ~~stars~~ players are suing Topps - yes, the baseball card company - for not paying them in full for autograph deals previously made.

At least now I know how he pays for all those copies of Vogue.

But seriously, T-Mac gets $50 per autograph, while Brandon Roy only gets $18 for his efforts?!? That's messed up. Brandon Roy needs a new agent!

If and when I hear updates on this story, I'll post 'em here. My guess is that McGrady and the others will settle for a few thousand pieces of that old gum Topps used to put in all their baseball card packs. I'm sure it's still good.

The really amazing thing

is that Topps was (supposed to be) giving Deandre Jordon $3 for each autograph. One would think they’d pay him in leftover office supplies or something.

if you look closer, tmac isn’t reading vogue….he’s catching up on his celine dion and cirque de soliel news in Vegas magazine.

nice catch spider-man

that’s so awesome. not only do you re-use a joke way to often, but that joke doesn’t even make sense now.

jesus christ

We pointed out that it really isn’t Vogue magazine a whole year ago.

But jokes about “Vegas” magazine are not nearly as funny.

no...

neither are funny, get some new material. make fun of how he just donated 30k for some charity in china, there has to be a good joke in there.

stick to reporting sports, not slander, have some fucking pride.

reporting sports?

This is not a newspaper. FYI.

um, yes.

I don’t think anyone comes here to listen to your ‘jokes’.

ummm

of course tmac costs more than brandon roy. Tmac is a veteren superstar and brandon roy is a rising star in this league. tmac has accomplished more than roy and is more known. you wouldnt expect kevin durant to cost more than allen iverson would you? so unless tmac caused your girlfriend to leave you, i dont know wat your talking about.
