Terrible puns aside, a couple days ago Starpulse reported that Batman star Christian Bale will ditch the rebooted franchise if they try to bring Robin on board. He was quoted as saying "If Robin crops up in one of the new Batman films, I'll be chaining myself up somewhere and refusing to go to work."For many, this should come as a relief considering how well that whole Robin thing was handled in the Joel Schumacher disasters known as "Batman Forever" and "Batman and Robin".Thanks Christian Bale for saving us from this:

| Jacksonville Jaguars: 3rd Best NFL Franchise, 9th Overall | | 2008-04-23 16:13:32 | |
In what has always been completely obvious to the fans, the Jacksonville Jaguars were named the 9th "Best Franchise" according to ESPN the Magazine. We were surpassed only by the Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts.
Franchises were graded based on value to the fan and quality of the team.
Their Comments:
The Jags' one-two punch of price and performance was second to none in the NFL in 2007, kind of like that lethal running back tandem of Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor. While the Colts edged the Jags in Bang for the Buck (No. 3 vs. No. 4), scoring tickets for Jacksonville Municipal costs just $49.38 (the league's third cheapest), a cool $21 less than average stubs went for in Indy. Now tack on the NFL's second cheapest lids ($9.95) and the fifth cheapest bee/soda/dog combo ($11, tied with the Saints and Rams). So yeah, Jags fans dig not having to dig too deep into their wallets. The club is deeply invested in the men on the field, too.

| Thoughts: Lehan, franchise players, and free agency | | 2008-02-20 23:02:10 | | There's a lot going on now around the league. And some of it could very well impact the Dolphins and what they decide to do this offseason. First of all, on the re-signing of Michael Lehan, I think it's a very good signing for the Dolphins. Lehan will make for a quality nickelback. Last season, mostly as a starter, Lehan had a success rate of 53%, which is surprisingly good. He also averaged just 7.1 yards against per pass, which is also a decent number. I'm also a fan of how the Dolphins went about structuring the deal. We don't know how much money is guaranteed, but his deal is structured so Lehan will earn $2.1 million in the first year, meaning only $2.85 million remains for years 2 and 3 combined. This provides the Dolphins 2 benefits. First, if Lehan doesn't perform well, he can easily be cut after the season at minimal cost to Miami. Second, it will provide the Dolphins some extra breathing room next offseason if, s | | By: The Phinsider | | |

| Jared Allen: "Slapped" with Franchise Tag | | 2008-02-18 20:09:51 | | Update [2008-2-18 22:7:39 by River City Rage]:: Per PFT, the Chiefs used the "non-exclusive tag", meaning that the Jaguars could still be in play. Dumb, methinks, on the part of the Chiefs. Clearly they are not serious about keeping Allen. It's Official. Jared Allen has been given the Franchise Tag by the Kansas City Chiefs. What is unclear is if the Chiefs used the "exclusive" tag, which pays Jared more money (for one season) but makes it impossible for other teams to even try and get him, or the "non-exclusive", which lets other teams sign him, they just have to give the Chiefs two first round picks. Now, I've said this before and I'll say it again. If we're going to use our first round pick on a Defensive End, why not go after Jared Allen? We're going to spend a first round pick and 11-12 million dollars (7-8 mil guaranteed ) on pick 26, why not use that toward signing Allen, getting a known quantity at DE rather than an unproven rookie, and we lose a firs | | By: Big Cat Country - An Unoffical Jacksonville Jaguar | | |

| Buying Franchise Into Internet Business | | 2008-01-07 13:17:40 | | While starting an internet business can be a fulfilling experience it can also be time consuming and expensive and unless you have tons of experience it can also be a recipe for disaster. Many folks looking to run an internet business find opportunities with online franchises. You may think that franchises require a brick and mortar building in a specific geographic area. While the typical franchises offered protected territories, the internet is too global for that to be realistic.Most companies, even online companies, will charge for you to open one of their outlets on the internet and they do deserve to get paid for the work they have put into the company. Typically, someone has a product line or a line of services that they worked hard to grow into a success. Similarly to traditional business, once they reach a certain sales figure they start looking at ways to continue their growth while at the same time, hopefully reduce their involvement in that growth.Many turn to offering franchises to others. The fee required covers part of their investment in time and possibly a lot of trial and error processes that helped them perfect their business. Also like a franchise, if you want it to run successfully, you will want to continue the use of the formula that made the business a success. Too many times people sign up for a free website offered by another business in hopes of getting rich on someone else effort.They believe they have a better way of doing things, better marketing skills or better advertising techniques and when their business fails they blame the company. With a traditional franchise there are penalties built into their contract if the operator fails to follow specific procedures or attempts to change how things are done without consulting with the business owner. Many of these same protections are built into franchise contracts but many insist on doing their own thing, which results in their failure to duplicate the success the company is experiencing. | | By: Full Time Income From Home | | |
