    If I was an NFL or NBA free agent I would want to play in one of those tax free states. California has a 13% state tax on incomes over $1 million.

    It is an incentive BUT when they play on the road, say the Mavs play at Golden State, they have to pay Ca State tax for the game they played there. I wonder if it works the same way for NCAA coaches?

    I know that but the Mavs, Rockets and Spurs play 41 games at home. Cowboys, Texans, Astros and Rangers all play half the games at home too. Probably only time they really get murdered is when the go to Cali, New York or Boston.

    I don't think so. They aren't paid to coach per game (the players are given checks per game, they don't get them year-round) but are given a salary in the state in which they are based out of, but I could be wrong.

    And I totally agree. State free taxes was a big factor in the Miami Heat being able to get Chris Bosh and LeBron James on "cheaper" contracts than they could have made in Toronto and Cleveland. They made a lot more in those 41 home games in Florida than they would have in those respective cities.

    Which brings up another point. Do American players with the Raptors and Blue Jays get paid in American dollars or Canadian money?

    I drove past the Golden Corral on Sherwood yesterday. It's closed down. Maybe they have already been there.

    A&M is the douchebag at the strip club who thinks the girls reallly like him. They haven’t won shit since Moses had his first wet dream.
    I don’t see a big ass contract altering this. He’ll be better than Sumlin. That’s not difficult to do.

    Yep, just like any contract worker that works out of state.
