And Lord, we are especially thankful for nuclear power, the cleanest, safest
energy source there is. Except for solar, which is just a pipe dream

No shit

To pay a guy a quarter of a billion dollars is outrageous and you are right that is why the season is so long.

As for the NHL they need to profit share so teams like Calgary (yeah) and Edmonton can actually compete. Now I know money can't buy a championship (YANKEES in baseball) but it can make the team very competitive which in turn increases ticket sales.
Without profit sharing the Tampa Bay Bucs would have been tits up 20 years ago. But with profit sharing allowed them to actually win a superbowl.

(kinda jumping from league to league, but it is all the same shit)
