Merrill Lynch CEO Stanley O'Neal made $46 million and $48 million in 2006 and 2007 respectively, and then got a $161 million severance package after Merrill was sold for a song to Bank America (BAC).
It's great to be a CEO, ruin a company, make millions leaving it.
Or not earn it as the case may be.
There's nothing to be angry about, I simply stopped watching sports years ago. It's ridiculous.
I sort of care. I used to go to baseball games, before tickets became an investment. I used to watch on TV too back when sponsors names were mentioned only during the breaks between half innings; and the games took less than two and a half hours.

I don’t know. I hear people complain more about athletes salaries and CEOs on a regular basis. Jeter picked the worst possible time to have a down year. The year before was one of his better. No one knows for sure if he is declining or if he just had a bad year. I suspect some of both. He no doubt can still perform, especially at the plate. He hopefully has an aggressive off-season workout schedule in place.

with a .270 average... batting #1 or 2 ain't going to cut it.
I wonder if part of these salary negotiations was an agreement he would have to "settle" for batting lower in the order... at least until his average is consistently over .300.
