SopotBoy 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Grinder got canned from Planet Hollywood for not metting his contract requierments. What a joke this guy is. All he needed to do was show up 3 nights a week for the 7pm tournament, take some pictures, talk to some tourists, and play a $60 tounament. 3 days a week for max 5 hours a day and he would earn $700,000+ a year! Are you kidding me?! I don't know what you guys think but I would kill for a job like that! What a donkey!! Link to post Share on other sites
SlapStick 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Do you have a link or is this gossip?Sounds like bull. The grinder isnt even a household name, why would they pay 700k a year for someone that not everyone knows. I would barely know of him if I didnt see him on High STakes Link to post Share on other sites

FCP Bob 1,312 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 How is it true? you have a link?Not everything in the World is available via an internet link.The OP is from Las Vegas which is where the Planet Hollywood Casino is. I have no knowledge about the Grinder's status with them but it's possible that he's no longer doing his hosting job there for whatever reason.A poker player not being on time and reliable would shock me however Link to post Share on other sites

HollywoodAFD 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 100% true.Good gad people... he verified his story right there. Don't you see.... "100% true" although I would have been more inclined to believe it had he opted for the Maury Povich guest amount of "I'm 150% sure". I mean..... he says he's from Vegas so why wouldn't he know all about professional contracts and the working going-on's of a multi-billion dollar casino. It's common knowledge when you live in a city.Take me for instance. I liver near Dallas, therefore I know that Tony Romo did NOT actually go WITH Jessica Simpson to Cancun but instead MET her there. He took the 11:40 flight through Houston while she came in on Mexican Air from LA on the 2:15. It also states in Tony's contract in provision 14:c- lines 3-6 that "player may infact MEET a pop singer in a foregin country if the next scheduled game is more than 6 but not more than 11 days away" and is also covered by his per diem provision on page 8, Section 9-G lines a-d "Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys will provide $475 per day for food, margargitas and hot towels... and up to but not exceding $1,100 for dual handies for Tony and his favorite Tight End."I'm suprised you guys don't know more about the place you live. Duh. Link to post Share on other sites

HollywoodAFD 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I heard that Romo actually dumped Jessica.Can you confirm this?Actually...that is true. Atleast that's what he said on a radio show last week. She wanted him to move to LA... he said..."Ummm No thanks" and that was it. It's not the first time he's dumped her though. She'll be back. I mean she will if she's smart.... He's one of the best QB's in the NFL and she's ummm.... who is she again? Oh yea...that hot blonde that hangs out with Tony Romo of the Dallas Cowboys.

Mercury69 3 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I thought you wee talking about GrinderMJMan, that's too bad about GrinderMJ...I heard that Romo actually took a dump on Jessica's face for costing him a Super Bowl berth by sucking all the manjuice out of him the night before the game.Can you confirm this?FYPI was going to give 110% for this thread, but realised it was not possible.

What a donkey!!you're an idiot....grinder would never get paid 700k for that.....also I just ran into him a couple days ago and he said he just had a baby, I doubt planet hollywood would fire him for spending some time with his pregnant wife and kid. He also tours the circuit which would prevent him from showing up 3 days a week, so thats already a flaw in your arguement, he would probably have never signed that contract.

Acid_Knight 2 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Him getting paid $700k doesn't make sense.1. His obligations in the room are very limited2. He's not famous enough to be worth that money 3. Casinos wouldn't even have poker rooms if they had their choice since slot machines make more money, so them spending 700k a year on one guy to promote it seems pretty ludicrous.But that's just based on common sense.
