No sir, you are one hundred percent right on target. Sports for money suck. Some day, I want someone to EXPLAIN to me, HOW some sports player DESERVED 5, 8, 10, 15, 25 million dollars for playing 162 game baseball season, 81 pro basketball games, or 16 NFL football games. EXPLAIN to me how they DESERVED that.

Perhaps you're not aware of this thing called "the market"? It is a system whereby people freely exchange goods and services for a mutually-agreed-upon price.

Right friend, the market. He DESERVED those millions. DESERVED them. Who set the market? People lusting after heroes such as pigs like Terrell Owens, Koby Bryant, Pete Rose, Barry SteroidBonds, Mark McGuire, etc. Right, real heroes. The market. Right. Yet, another reason I don't waste my time on the absolute stupid things of life. If you want to shell out those hundreds to go watch em, and make THEM MILLIONAIRES, go right ahead. It is your money you worked all those hours to get. Put that on your credit card though, so you can pay interest. Cash will be fine, except you need to pay the car payment, buy food, rent, etc. Just charge it, but T.O. DESERVES his millions. Then he disappears off the map of football to live out the remaining 50-60 years of his life in millionaire luxury, while you continue to pay off that credit card debt from buying those tickets.
