Terrell Owens gets his signing bonus in delicious Popcorn
At yesterday's press conference to announce his big new contract (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=Aim.pFP5JrVn.yuinp4CssFDubYF?slug=ap-cowboys-pacmanto&prov=ap&type=lgns), Jerry Jones presented Terrell Owens (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/3664/) with a giant tub of popcorn (so big that it required two people to carry it) and told him that the popcorn was his signing bonus. I think he was kidding, and Owens seemed amused by it. News reports indicate that Owens's actual signing bonus will be $12.9 million.
I think the two sides should come to a compromise and award Terrell Owens $12.9 million worth of popcorn.
Obviously, they'd want to give Owens the good stuff, and when I think of high-quality popcorn, I think of one man and one man only: Isiah Thomas (http://deadspin.com/sports/nba/get-your-isiah-popcorn-here-184368.php). The value-priced 3½ gallon gift tin of Dale and Thomas popcorn is $45. For $12.9 million, Jerry Jones can get 286,666 of those. That would give Terrell 1,003,331 million gallons of popcorn, available in his favorite delicious Isiah Thomas-approved flavors (http://www.daleandthomaspopcorn.com/popcornflavors.aspx). Who could say no to that?
