Members of the San Antonio Gunslingers picked up their overdue paychecks Friday afternoon, and the owner of the U.S. Football League club said he has no problem paying the team's bills.
Team spokesman Les Singleton said the checks arrived about 5:15 p.m. CST.
Checks not picked up Friday will be distributed to players and employees Saturday, he added.
Checks bounced last week because the Internal Revenue Service placed a lien on the Gunslingers' payroll account, claiming it was owed $404,763 in back payroll taxes.

However, team owner Clinton Manges said the team has no financial problems.
“Let me assure you. I have no problem. The team has no problem,” Manges said Friday. “I just paid $500,000 for assessments for all the other teams. We paid off that tax lien. I've paid it off. If anyone had bothered to check, they would have found I have an estate in excess of $400 million,” Manges said in a copyright interview with San Antonio radio station WOAI.
