So Cleveland sports fans are bitter.... what's new? At least the stress has receded Lebron's hairline about six inches. But really, if he donated all the money he made from The Decision than what's the big deal? If I were a Cleveland fan I might consider being angry with the Cavs management who couldn't put a team around one of the greatest players of all time.
Randy Moss went from being one of the great fantasy football players to being a bench warmer on most teams. It's unbelievable watching him on the field not running hard, sometimes not even trying to catch balls thrown to him. Who does that? Especially in a contract year. Each time he runs routes half-assed, he loses himself one hundred thousand bucks next year. What a "slouch".
I'm getting really excited about the college football playoffs...wait what's that.... you mean a computer just calculates who plays for the championship? Awesome. Imagine if that was the way it worked in pro sports. No magical underdog runs to a championship. Sounds great, what a good idea.
Derek Jeter will remain a Yankee, thank heavens. The thing that puzzles me is why fans were angry that Jeter was trying to get as much money as he could. Why do fans seem to take the side of ownership in these situations? The way I see it, the owners are billionaires and why not try to get paid as much as you can? Hasn't anyone ever heard of negotiating? If you think that you are invaluable to a company and you ask for a raise, wouldn't you ask for as much as you can? It seems like most fans think that the players are overpaid. So what about those hats and jerseys and tickets to the games, or VCast for your phone to watch games online. Should the owners get all that money? They're already billionaires, why don't fans think that the owners are overpaid? It's not like they're on the field. Besides, these players are the best in the world at what they do. The best of the best of most occupations make crazy money, it's called capitalism.
