Sorry - NO ONE is worth 17 million a year. This includes actors, athletes, politicians, CEOs, etc....

(OK maybe if you are the guy who cures cancer...
ohh - or invents the flying car like in the Jetsons!)

Really.... So then that money should stay with Mr. Benson?? The money is there... It comes from us and from the networks because we want to see Drew Brees play football... We want it enough that we pay top dollar to do so. The question becomes does that money stay with Benson or does it go to the performer (DB)....

All last summer the players and owners worked through the answer to that question.... Now it is simply applying the formula (salary cap)...

It gets old listening to people say things like this (no personal offense)...Top athletes, Top actors, Top CEO's are at the very pinnacle of their profession... Hundreds of thousands of us start out wanting to be a SB QB.... Some of us make it to high school but the number dwindles.... Some make it to college football but that number has really dwindled at that point.... Some get drafted... a very small number now and even a smaller number of those actually make an NFL roster...

Now you get to the elite of the elite.... The names mentioned.. Drew Brees... Manning.. Brady..... the absolute pinnacle of the pyramid... And as I mentioned WE are willing to fork over big sums of money to watch those guys play....

Its the market my friend and these very very very very few.... very very very very special players have climbed that mountain....

Yes they deserve every bit of $17 - $20 million.... Why? because WE have said so by buying tickets

Ok off my soap box... Nutin personal................
