$10,000 or all-stars?

saying the All-Star game really will be competitive because the players on
the winning team get $10,000 apiece, and the losing players don't.
Is he on crack?

I don't know, but $10,000 is what, 0.1% of these guys salaries? Yeah, I'm
sure they'll be trying real hard.

That number made me think about money and all-stars and the only guy on
the East team that makes 7.4 million or more is Jagr. The rest of the big
money guys in the East didn't make it. That's largely the fault of the
Rangers paying too much for guys and sucking at the same time. There are
a lot more big pay checks in the West and more of them are on the roster
than not.
