Val looked each of the players in the eye, then slightly shook her head in disappointment and took her seat.  At least everyone shut up instead of kept bickering or tuning out.<br/><br/><em>Looks like I'm the only wildcat in this bunch of sheep.  In the city with the Detroit Lions, we might as well be the Detroit Lambs.  Instead of the Pride, we could be the Herd.  And this QB already looks like a deer in headlights.  Maybe joining another expansion franchise isn't such a good idea.</em><br/><br/><strong>"Depends on your definition of 'not too unreasonable,' Coach.  Allow me to tell you what the lawyers would tell you.<br/><br/>"Ladies, don't get seriously hurt, because basically the league won't pay your medical bills.  <br/><br/>"Don't wear bras and panties, because the league will fine you $500 for wearing 'additional garments' since it wants shots of ass and tits and pussy.  I mean, the league wants shots of 'accidental nudity.' <br/><br/>"Speaking of fines, miss enough practices and you'll get terminated and hit with a $5000 termination fine.<br/><br/>"Bitch on facebook or twitter and expect a lawsuit for slander.<br/><br/>"Lose your uniform and expect charges to be pressed.<br/><br/>"And don't expect big paydays.  The league claims the top players can make almost six figures, but you'll be lucky if you get a few grand for each of the four games.  You won't be going pro in this league, not without a union.  Don't quit your day job.<br/><br/>"And don't expect money for gas or tickets for buses and airlines for away games.  Don't expect meals more than sandwiches.  And don't expect the refs to get every call right without replay."</strong><br/><br/>Val held the pen in her hand and considered for a moment, then shrugged her shoulders, silently saying,<em>sure, what the hell.</em>She signed the papers, then slid the contract across the length of the table back to Jason.<br/><br/><strong>"Count me in.  So are we going to keep chit-chatting?  Or are we going do something that matters like hitting some weights or watching some film or going over our plays or getting some practice in?"</strong><br/><br/>
