Sharkfin's blog: "Chaos"

Good Morning. Yes I am an avid sports fan. But please this headline that states: Super Bowl taking a hit amid economic struggles TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - There were mountains of jumbo shrimp, and caviar everywhere. Muhammad Ali would show up, maybe amid a fleet of shiny Cadillac’s. Five-star hotels were packed, and getting a dinner reservation for Saturday night was impossible. Finding a ticket for Sunday was even harder. In years past, the Super Bowl was so much more than a game. It was an outright orgy of football, glitz and gluttony, a celebration of excess where too much was never enough. The No. 1 sporting event in America is still a big deal. Nearly 100 million of us will tune in Sunday night when the Pittsburgh Steelers play the Arizona Cardinals. But in these tough economic times, it's easy to see: The Super Bowl is taking a hit, too. General Motors and FedEx pulled their TV ads, even though NBC lowered the price. Playboy canceled its annual party. Almost 200 fewer media credentials were issued. "When I think of the NFL, I think of recession-proof," Cardinals lineman Elliot Vallejo said this week. "But that's not true anymore." Again please…a sport in which the league minimum is $,$$$,$$$.$$ Here are the cold hard facts, League average Salaries in sports and then the glamorous jobs and not so glamorous. • Basketball (NBA) -- $5,000,000 • Baseball (MLB) -- $2,800,000 • Football (NFL) -- $1,750,000 • Hockey (NHL) -- $1,500,000 • Men's Golf -- $973,495 • Women's Tennis -- $345,000 • Men's Tennis -- $260,000 • Women's Golf -- $162,043 • Investment Banker--$283,643 (Glamorous Top Jobs) • Head Chef-- $90,583 • Top Commercial Real Estate Exec. -- $221,915 ( Now about 20,000) • Airline Pilot -- $115,405 • Fashion Designer -- $46,455 (High Glamour Low Pay) (in who’s mind?) • Event Planner -- $57,513 • Interior Decorator -- $48,895 • Reporter -- $50,378 • Waist Management -- $89,849 (Low Glamour High Pay) • Tax Attorney -- $135,848 (Rat Bastards!) • Statistician -- $79,638 (come on…these are Clinton Aides) • Janitor -- $28,912 (Low Glamour Low pay) • Telemarketer – $31,979 (and I have hung up on many over paid R-B) • Short Order Cook -- $32,331 • Retail Cashier -- $20,219 Ok let’s take a look at these over priced babies…I have heard interviews on athlete’s and their rants and raves of not being able to make their house payments on their 4.2 million dollar homes due to not being paid what they’re worth…Or not being able to afford insurance on their third XL7-Jaq Also they complain about their careers being short lived so they need compensated now Please…the NFL will be ok! Pay the Rat Bastards 100K a year and say dude learn how to spell and learn a trade! Same goes for Baseball, Basketball, and Golfers…come on I love the sport but, playing a game and making on average just under a Million a year…take your balls and go! Oh and by the way give it up for the women Golfers they look a lot better and don’t carry on like a spoiled brat when they lose. I am having fun now…and Just getting started too. Investment Bankers. Can we just round all those bastards up and feed them the Tainted Peanut Butter until they puke? I mean they are the reason the word Bail-Out was created! Enough on those scourges of Ill-repute I am more fond of Pond scum. Head Chef, ok these guys and gals are worth their money especially the ones that after your meal you are like, my gosh that was a slice of heaven, pay them a baseball league minimum salary and make me a reservation for Friday Night. Bravo well worth their pay, Now the ones that can’t make dittlely squat give them the Janitor salary and make them clean up after themselves. Fashion Designer and Event Planner. Two words. Get Real! Yes we need fashion but watching a runway display with some of the design’s that get displayed…Move the Janitor up and let them design a trash can lid with Paisley. Now an event planner…oh shoot me stick me with two plastic forks and call me Tinker the Lost squirrel from the Wizard of OZ. Dude plan your own shin dig and stop wasting good money on being lazy! Pilots, we need we should pay them, just look at the one who landed and saved all those lives in that Washington River. Hero is not a big enough word. Most need good pay, the drinkers…should give the wings and hat to the maintenance crew and job search the yellow pages for the AA meeting nearest them. Decorator… ok, I get it…I think some are worth it…some need to go back to art school and redo lesson plan Chalks and Pastels… You flunked it didn’t you! Reporters…Media… IE a special place is reserved in hell right next to the ambulance chasing Lawyers… Pay scale should be reduced by the national deficit oh, and by the way you sum bitches hurt more then you help, put the pen and camera down and learn tact! Waist management…Ever wonder if they create more problems then they help? It’s almost like these Virus Software producers who make a virus and then create the software to fix it…Take a seat next to the Lawyers and Reporters and some of the Basketball players…hell Oh that’s where they’re going but Hell the best Basketball Players have either all died or retired! Oscar Robinson Michael Jordan, they list goes on Colby get a real name and ps Keep it in your pants…You are no Wilt Chamberlain. Tax Attorney and Statistician, dudes. The devil is awaiting your arrival, the bus may be full of scourge but you just wait it will empty soon and hopefully everyone your wronged will get their just revenge Telemarketer…Can we say ES&D (don’t make me explain it, it is not a pretty sight) I do not like picking up the phone to silence and then when you see you have a fish on the line after you open the line up, spit the food out, do not let us hear you joking with another on how you just tricked some one out of their hard earned money…you jags need to take the short bus off the long pier! Short Order Cooks…well again it’s not the best pay but some of you do wonders in terrible conditions and lower then a snakes ass in a wagon wheels track pay. However you short order cooks from Mickey D’s and those pre done push a button and pop goes the weasel and out comes a burger…you just have been demoted to janitor, give the job to some one who is handicapped and can’t move around who needs that little help on just pushing a button to cook. You should be ashamed to collect a honest wage you remind me of The Auto Industry workers, who complain about their benefits but watch as a machine does the work they used to be proud to do and at far more honest wages. Wow…I started this at 5:45 and now it is 9:00 apparently I had some pent up frustrations. I guess I get tired of those complaining that have more things to be happy then those that are eating and trying to survive on Dog food. Hey, I feel like a short order cook to a dog and a few cats can I have an extra 10G’s a year for that? Super Bowl feels the struggle…Please, they have no Idea what struggle means. Sorry, I jumped up on the soap box. I did not mean to run the train thru the station so fast…but apparently it was warmed up. May your day be filled with only smiles. A Huge hug and many pats Marrtay
