I told you I needed to feed my family,” Sprewell said at a press conference yesterday. “They offered me 3 years at $21 million. That’s not going to cut it. And I’m not going to sit here and continue to give my children food while this front office takes money out of my pocket. If [owner Glen] Taylor wants to see my family fed, he better cough up some money. Otherwise, you’re going to see these kids in one of those Sally Struthers commercials soon.

Despite the fact that he had a complicated thigh injury which meant that he had a lengthy period of rehabilitation ahead of him, Real Madrid signed Jonathan Woodgate for £13.4m from Newcastle United (who he had only played 37 out of a possible 127 games for).
Finally, after waiting 561 days for his Real Madrid debut, Woodgate made his entrance in style by scoring an own goal and getting sent off for 2 bookable offences. Appearing in the Bernabéu press area, he attended to the local media in Spanish before producing this little gem for the English:
"F*ck me. F*ck. Ing. Hell. My God. Where do I start? I'm still in shock. An own goal and sent off. What a debut. What a debut! After the own goal and the yellow I was thinking: 'Jesus Christ, don't get sent off', and then I got sent off."
