quit yer' whining

so i'm reading this article on yahoo's fantasy sports page [yes, i manage several losing teams a year...] about hockey. jeremy roenick is complaining about having to give up so much money, and any fans who said the players were greedy should just not ever watch the sport again... to him i say, booooooo.

hockey players each are very gifted at their chosen profession. this should not, however, give them the authority to tell "commoners" to shove it when we complain they make too much. in years, i will have a Ph.d in chemistry, and likely be making less a year that roenick makes a game. fair? i think not. skill and talent does not mean entitlement to big paydays. if you really loved the game, you'd be happy to play for whatever the going rate for a doctor, or professor, or m.b.a. makes. they're no less talented at what they do that you are at what you do.

and that's how i feel about that!

but! i am so stoked to see my wings back in action this year! nobody beats hockeytown.
