The Jag's Richard Collier was shot recently and I think he's still in pretty bad shape. The police are now saying he was targeted. Luckily for him, friends and teammates have added $10,000 to the normal $1,000 offered for tips leading to the arrest of the perps. Um, this may speak to how well his friends and teammates like him. I just Googled it, and the average NFL salary for this year is $1,169,470. Each team has 53 players. The salary cap per team is $116 million dollars. Now think about it.....a teammate is shot point blank and critically wounded. The salary and bonus together as total compensation in the locker room is $116 million dollars. They raised $10k for this guy. That's like me tossing a quarter out the wondow on my way to work in the morning. I'd rather have nothing than that if I was poor Richard. If each teammate gave $10k, that would be worth noting. Sad.....but funny.
