Really, I am enjoying this class and being back in school. This missive is just another example of how easy it is in the age of the internets to procrastinate. You're doing it right now.

The First Draft
I saw a quote on a classroom blackboard last week that said, "Perfectionism, the only thing standing between you and a shitty first draft." Well, I can say with all honesty, that perfectionism is NOT my problem. The first draft of my term paper stinks to high heaven. It is so bad, in fact, that I don't even want to read it in order to work on the second draft knowing that the godforsaken fumes that it is giving off may, indeed, kill me. I have spent a great deal of the last week procrastinating and that certainly has something to do with the malodorous content of my paper. I realize that this assignment is designed to ascertain whether or not I absorbed the reading material thus far. I have. Really. Sort of. You see, the texts are awful. Really truly awful. One of them was last updated in 2001 and is written by some guy from Utah. (insert reason to mistrust or joke about the mormons here) It features chapters on tax code and the 1980s and other suffocatingly boring material. Although I did stumble upon the interesting little tidbit that the NFL is actually a nonprofit organization. You can look it up.

NFL is non-profit... aaaaaaahahaahahhaaaa.... good one!
No, seriously, it is. It is a 501(c)6 organization. It is classified as a trade organization much like the American Bar Association, the National Association of Realtors and the PGA. The teams and the golfers are obviously not nonprofit.
That blows my mind! Does that mean you can look up just how much money they make in a year?
i believe you, it's just unbelievable... wtf.
Yep, you can look up thier IRS Form 900 on guidestar.org. Their total revenue from 2005 was around $131 million, mostly in member dues from the 32 teams.
$131 million...all of which is donated to the widows and orphan fund, don'cha know.
