Or even a hockey player.
What I am talking about is Sports Illustrated's Fortunate 50 List, a list of the top 50 athletes in terms of d'argent in the country, a list topped by two golfers, Tiger and Lefty. And, since the Blue Jay's Vernon Wells checks in at number 30 one would presume and assume that their country includes our country.
Sidney, where for art thou?

Most of their sports are engineered to be too boring. Baseball is nearly unwatchable but at least is good near the end of a close game. Basketball ($10M should come with heart) need incidental contact, and right at the end it turns into a free throw contest at best. At worst they need a five pt half court line or something. NFL Football with a 40 second clock and four downs is boring again when the game is supposed to get good, and ends with running out the clock right where is supposed to be good. I'm not a big fan of hockey right now with a team in openly fascist Arizona. If I was a player I wouldn't play there and if I was an owner I wouldn't let my team play there. Unless of course I was the greatest player and douchbag of all time who is fine with the racism as long as paid $8M a year to trade away Briere and cup winning Khabby for hockey pucks, and who thinks 3 goal Draper and slow Bert are better than Crosby and E.Staal. Oh, and they aren't Canada's olympic if most of the hockey games have to be paid for (ie. need a c/c) to watch, they are CPC's and biz Liberals's games. Still haven't seen the Slovakia Russia game and the Bronze medal game but out the Finn's comeback. If our PM din't run such a deficit CBC would've shown every taxpayer subsidized Olympic game for free.
