Ha! He is worth 100x more than her because he is actually entertaining.

[Hexenhammer]

The difference; A-Rod is worth it, Couric isn’t.

[xtinct]

Bigger Question:

Is Katie Couric worth 15M ????

NOT... She's a failure but C-BS, stubborn little cusses, don't get it. Most people can't stand her.

[Bob]

She’s just jealous. I’d bet more people watch A-Rod than the perky one.

[CaliGangsta]

The Yankees didn’t finish in last place, unlike a certain “superstar” high-paid infobabe.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

An player is worth what any team is willing to pay them.

Until a performance based program in installed (and there are TONS of problems there) this is the way it will be.

IMO.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

A-Rod would have been worth every penny from now until he dies if he would have laughed and asked, “Are you worth your salary?”

I would have bought A-Rod Breakfast Cereal for the rest of my life if he had asked that.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Chutzpah!

Assume you convert $15 million USD into gold at current 794.90 per ounce.

Thus Katie is paid (15 million / 794.90) / 40 ounces per couric = about 471.75 courics of gold per year.

[rockabyebaby]

A-Rod should have said something like, “well perky katie, if you’re worth 15mm then I’m definetly worth 300mm”.....

[incredulous joe]

I’m thinking that he could actually deliver the news better, too.

[Doctor Raoul]

Hey Lady, A-Rod’s not #3 in his profession, is he?

[return to sender]

Same books, different covers.

[straps]

What delivery all she does is read a script that someone else wrote. For this she gets all that money. Not if I was paying her. Id go find some other dummy to read the news for 1/10th the price.
Maybe thats why my company has consistently produced a profit and CBS has not . He He He He

[Tallguy]

Katie can’t hit the curve.

[Past Your Eyes]

What a presumptuous twit.

[massgopguy]

A-Rod is worth it; especially in the Post Season.

[gridlock]

No way Katie is worth $15 Million. She’ll never bat over .180 and can’t field at all...

[Enterprise]

Well, the only way we can settle this for sure is for them to trade places for a day. Let’s see of A-Rod can read a teleprompter and make faces. And I want to see Perkie hit a baseball out of the park and field a ball coming at her at 100 mph.
