Whoa Whoa Whoa . . . he gets paid how much to do what?

Today, ESPN wrote about the 4th highest paid person in Major League Baseball. Like most of you, I thought this would be a Yankees. But no, its not. Maybe Manny? Clemens? Soriano? Nope, nope and ha! It's Bud Selig.

Yeah, that Bud Selig. He makes $18.35 million dollars a year. How crazy is that? For what? He spends most of his time trying not to die and the rest of the time wondering if having the All-Star game on ice will make it more interesting. It UNREAL that any commish should make that much money. Commissioners are essentially sports lawyers with season tickets. But Roger Godell of the NFL, who is actually a good* commissioner only makes 11.2 million and there is no way you can argue that Selig does a better job than Goddell.

Unreal.
