No no no and no They are paid to appear just like any entertainer. If they fail expectations they then do not get a next contract or it is reduced. People continually want to break down athletes salary into stat increments. So much a yard, so much a carry, so much a TD etc etc...... It does not work that way for entertainers. You pay them a contract to appear and perform/entertain. In NFL case for a season. Movie stars for a movie. Singers for a 1 off concert or extended show engagements like Vegas did with Celine Dion or Cher. You never hear anyone say Tom Cruise got paid $71.53 for each word he spoke in said movie. Or Cher got paid $19,473.00 for ea song ea night she sang at her casino resident show in Vegas. She was not getting pd more if she encored and played a couple extra one night or cut it short one song because her throat was killing her. And certainly you never hear anyone expecting a refund if the show was performed yet they were not as entertaining as they expected. You just don't go next time. Yes I get your point esp about the players other than Hobert on that list but I was joking about them and they didn't scam anyone, they just sucked. But Hobert quite literally WAS a fraud in every sense of the word. He signed a contract to be a QB with this team in 1997 and probably thought that he wouldn't play. He ended up playing against the Patriots and the performance was godawful. Like they took some guy from the crowd and put him in the game. After the loss he admitted to reporters that he didn't know the Bills playbook and was subsequently cut immediately. So basically he was getting paid and faking that he was he was NFL QB. For sure I could see this translate into crime in the real world but it was actually Shane Matthews who is the guy going to jail, who if I remember was a decently hardworking journeyman QB. Not who I expected at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Matthews starts against the Steelers in 2004, the Bills make the playoffs. You just can't let this game go can you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get to see the Pitt game. But I was at the Seattle game a few weeks before and we steamrolled 'em. And Seattle was playoff team that year. That team has some serious mojo workin'. Dumping the QB and changing the D was one of the more Billsian Bills moves. I with we had kept it together and let that team make another run at it in 2005 with Blue at the controls.
