I 'spose, but now the NHL is in a lockout because the owners haven't quite caught on to the fact that they don't have to pay that much if they really don't want to. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yes, take Wayne Rooney for example. He scored goals on Euro against some not-so-good-teams and some people said that he's Pele. Yeah right. Pele scored 1,280 goals in his career. How many goals did you see from Rooney nowdays? Not too many I think. IMO Wayne Rooney is waaaaaaay over-rated. Also in some matches he was acting violently.

Most of his earnings came from endorsements onn the side, such as his contracts with Gatorade, Nike, and Wheaties. If millions of people are gonna use your name and face, you deserve a proper paycheck, which is what he got. And i won't even mention his performance on the courts.

Is gatorade actually a genuine product then? I thought it was a spoof product only used in the film Waterboy?

I truly hope your joking. Gatorade is the largest and arguably most famous energy/sports drink. But it tastes like vomit, drink powerade instead.

I believe Gatorade is Pepsi's answer to Coca Cola's Powerade. But I might be wrong. (I'm pretty sure they're owned by Coke & Pepsi)

No, way, Gatorade is great!! Forget that Powerade crap! Actually, I prefer water over both of them.

Ugh, I hate water! (Yea, so I wouldn't survive in the wild...

) It's got no flavour! And ours tastes weird. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
