What's he going to do with $4 million next year?

He’s been on a $3.5M/yr budget for years now.

Clearly, he'll enjoy being in Milwaukee about 14.2% more.

:-)

That's all I've got for you today, unless you're interested in some Chris Capuano/Tom Haudricourt Fan Fiction.

Your calculation seems to leave out Diminishing Marginal Utility...

But here’s an idea, he could use that 500k to convince Ochocinco to change his first name to LaTroy.

Doesn't he want to change his name to "eight five" in Japanese now?

Hochi Go

Yeah, he wants to do that because someone suggested he do it. The fact that he is so easily suggestible is why I think LaTroy could convince him to change his name.

I think it would be funny if the Rams ever acquired him

Since they’ve retired #85.

I've never understood

why Chad decided to go with the grammatically incorrect “Ocho Cinco” versus the grammatically correct “Ochenta Cinco” (or, if you’re really a stickler “Ochenta y Cinco”).

I have my suspicions as to why, but its funny to assume he thinks the announcers call numbers like “Eight Five catches the ball”.

At least that's semi-workable in Japanese...

I’m aware of a guy whose given name is 六十四 (read “Mutoshi”, but can also mean 64). Perhaps not so much for surnames, though.
