Mo Money Mo Problems a retrospective

Rip all the spots, rock all the rocks
Cop all the drops, I know you thinkin now's when all the ballin stops,
never home gotta call me on the yacht
Ten years from now we'll still be on top
Yo, I thought I told you that we won't stop

Ma$e, (1997) Releases Harlem World, biggest up-and-comer in the business
Puff Daddy, (1997) on the cusp of winning Grammy's, still on his first nickname
Notorious B.I.G. (1997) well at the beginning of 1997 he was getting out of legal trouble
Peyton Manning (1997) Archie's Kid, runner-up in Heisman trophy
Tom Brady (1997) backup to Brian Griese, although a national champion
Brett Favre (1997) MVP, Super Bowl Champ
Us (1997) Graduating High School

Ma$e (2007) pastor, retired 2 years after stating he'd be on top in 10 years
Diddy (2007) producer/mogul, on fifth nickname
Notorious B.I.G. (2007) still dead
Peyton Manning (2007) defending SB Champ, never missed a game
Tom Brady (2007) front-runner for MVP,
Brett Favre (2007) playing like it's 1997, still hasn't missed a game
Us (2007) Just working

Surprisingly, most of the people are doing a good job on staying on top.

Caffey Files Bankruptcy

Jason Caffey has joined the ranks of former pro athletes who were flying high in April and shot down in May.

April in this case means the $35 million contract he signed with the Golden State Warriors during his career in the National Basketball Association, and May would be now, when the 34-year-old former forward has filed for bankruptcy seeking protection from his creditors.

According to the Mobile (Ala.) Press-Register, the former Milwaukee Bucks forward filed for bankruptcy in U.S. Court in Mobile claiming $1.9 million in debts and about $1.15 million in assets. Caffey played in 144 games for the Bucks over three seasons, from 2000-'03.

"The only reason I filed bankruptcy was to get these arrest warrants off me," Caffey told the Press-Register. Caffey was jailed this year in Tuscaloosa, Ala., and is facing an arrest warrant in Georgia, both stemming from back child-support issues.

He has fathered eight children with seven women.

"The guy has made more money than he has sense," said attorney Clarence Roby, who represents a Louisiana woman who is seeking child support for two children. "He has not paid anything since May 2005. . . .

He is the epitome of a deadbeat dad." More than half of Caffey's reported monthly income of $7,000 goes to alimony and child support, according to the story. "Who wouldn't have trouble with that after retiring five years ago?" Caffey said.

A lawyer who is defending Caffey in a Georgia child-support case, Jim Altman, said Caffey's obligation of $4,250 a month was not in line with what he is making now. "As an NBA basketball star, he was making millions of dollars," Altman told the Press-Register. "It kind of goes to show how the system fails people like Jason."

Caffey signed a $35 million contract with the Warriors after the 1997-'98 season, which he spent with the Chicago Bulls. But Caffey said his career ended with three years left on the deal, worth $12 million, and that after taxes the deal was really worth $17 million.

He said his former wife, who divorced him in 2006, got half his money. In February 2000, when the Bucks were looking to trade for him, Caffey criticized Milwaukee and said he didn't want to play for the franchise. When he joined the Bucks he said he didn't mean what he said about the city, that it was only a negotiation ploy.

Gilbert Brown Named Head Coach of Bonecrushers

The Milwaukee Bonecrushers indoor football team has named former Green Bay Packers' star Gilbert Brown as its new head coach. The Bonecrushers are part of the 12-team Continental Indoor Football League. The team kicks off its inaugural season next March. Brown played 10 seasons on the defensive line with the Packers, including their two Super Bowl teams in the 1990s. Gilbert signed a three-year contract to act as the teams inaugural head coach and is listed in the team's press release as being qualified because his brother, Kyle Moore-Brown, has been a player in the Arena Football League for 14 years. I never thought I would see qualified by association in coaching until today.

My Lifelong Dream is Now Complete

Yesterday, after suffering my first ever migraine, I devised a strategy to make the very best frozen pizza. The ingredients were a Connie's Frozen Cheese Pizza, Red & Green Peppers that I obtained from a salad bar, Onions that I obtained from that same salad bar, and some packaged pepperoni. After preheating the oven to 400 degrees, and placing one layer of tin foil on the pizza pan, I added the frozen cheese pizza, a layer of pepperoni (approx one side of the package), and pieces of the peppers and onions. I cooked the entire thing for 25 minutes, removed from the oven, and removed the excess grease with a paper towel. Greatest Frozen Pizza of all time, period.

This is what a Packer fan does on a bye week.

Kelly's in the O.C.

The owner of Kelly's Bleachers bars wants to open a new establishment at the former Ray Bussler's, 10276 S. 27th St. Karlis A. Vecitis has plans to remodel much of the building for a bar and restaurant. The east end of the building would get demolished and a new addition would house a kitchen, restrooms and bar areas. The plans already came before the Oak Creek Plan Commission, but commissioners said they wanted to see architects upgrade the building's exterior design. The item was held over and will be discussed again at the Tuesday, Oct. 23 commission meeting. Vectis wants to add an outdoor patio with a stone wall around it, refinish the building exterior with cement board siding, repave the parking lot, replace the gravel with greenspace and add a volleyball court east of the building. The 1.2 acre site has been vacant for a few years, city staff said. Kelly's Bleachers bars already operate on Blue Mound Road in Milwaukee and in Wind Lake.
