So Glad We Won't Be Worrying About Dalton

These salaries are beyond absurd when you get right down to it. Well in excess of a million bucks a year to essentially work 16-20 days a year and only a few hours of those days. I absolutely fail to see how anyone getting paid over a million bucks a year for those kinds of working hours could possibly be considered underpaid. Sure, there's a lot of practice and so on, but teams don't pay millions every year just to practice. 
Take a guy who is a first round pick.  They get some huge paycheck just to sign their name on the dotted line and regardless of whether they actually play a game or not they should be set for life with that first paycheck. 
I don't know about the rest of you, but if someone handed me a million bucks just once I'd never worry about my finances again the rest of my life. 
It just seems so utterly absurd to think anyone is underpaid even making league minimum. What's league minimum for one full season? $450,000 ?
The rest of society, you know..mere mortals? $7.25 an hour for minimum wage and plenty of us make considerably less than that if working as contract labor or as a waiter/waitress and we're somehow supposed to believe that anyone playing professional sports could possibly be underpaid? 
Well I'm not buying it .Even if you're a bench warmer in the league you cannot possibly be under paid..
I hate to break the bad news, but $450,000 a year is pretty damn good money to do anything.
