I'm sorry i don't mean to thread jack here, but i did not want to start a new thread for this rant. The topic is Carlos effing Delgado. Here you have a player that has made endless amounts of money, some say he has been over paid for the past 4 yrs. Now he's a free agent, now instead of wanting to sign with a contending team, our man Carlos here is willing to play for any bottom-feeder that is willing to pay him the most.

Now don't get me wrong, I think alot of people would choose the most amount of money but after making million and millions how much is enough? If he has 60 million in the bank, and he can make either 7mil a year for say the yankee's or boston, or he can make 10mil a year playing for freaking texas or some other pretender.
I just can't believe that some of these players are just so greedy, you can really tell what players and what sports who have players that care first about winning, then about the money. I'll use an example, I am a huge hockey fan. Most canadian's and american's who enjoy the sport grow up always dreamed about wanting to win the stanley cup, where most players from overseas went interviewed would say that there goal was to play in the nhl. not win, but just play. And it showed in there effort.....
I find it harder and harder to watch sports with so many guys just going through the motions. Vince Carter and his interview about not really trying during that last bit of his toronto years is gross. If a normal person who works a real job took days off your employeer would fire your azz. They should make all sports based on you get paid if your team wins, only if you win. Then you would see some actual sports.

i am sorry.
