It used to be that professional athletes had to have jobs in the off-season in other industries. And it makes people mad because they say the joy has been taken out of the game, but I don't really believe that. He's getting paid a lot of money to play a game that he really likes. I think the people that say the joy has been taken out of the game are jealous that they're not doing it. I'm a little jealous that I'm not flying around the country, spending an hour every night trying to put a puck in the net.
Salaries go up, ticket prices go up.
They're going to go up until we stop. Don't go to any more games. And I'm not mad because Tiger Woods makes a bazillion dollars a year playing golf, where he probably makes another two bazillion endorsing clothes and cars. I think that if you're goofy enough to buy a car because Tiger Woods bought it, you should just write him a check and skip the middleman. People say that kind of money should go to teachers and nurses.
