MLB commissioner Bud Selig topped the list of wealthiest sports executives, raking in — hold on, I gotta break out the bold print here — $15.06 million for sitting on his ass during the fiscal year that ended in October 2006.
Selig's most recent pay total combines $14.515 million in base compensation, $400,999 in contributions to employee benefit plans, and $140,603 from an expense account and other allowances. The base compensation was roughly split between salary and a 100 percent bonus granted by the MLB Executive Council's compensation committee.
So that's a 100% bonus for a salary in the neighborhood of $7.25M, and an expense account that's about the combined salary of three public school teachers. Can someone tell me whose dick I gotta suck to perform my job as well as a paper weight, at which time a committee meets and says, "You know, he sat there and did absolutely fucking nothing so well that we should give him a year's salary for Christmas."
I defy you to find someone with less of a vision and a greater proclivity for inaction than Selig. He spent the last decade fucking up the steroid scandal in every conceivable way simply because he didn't want to make any ripples. Oh, but great call on the All-Star Game tie and making it worth home-field advantage in the World Series. Here's fifteen million dollars. Get yourself a new suit from the Men's Wearhouse, douchebucket.


All that money and it still looks like he pays $5 to get his haircut. Shoot me now.
whose dick I gotta suck
Do you really wanna know, cause it starts with Hank Steinbrenner and doesn't stop until Wayne Huizenga.
It's ironic that Selig makes almost as much as the Marlins entire roster…and more than the entire season ticket fanbase of the white trash Detroit Tigers fans.
He'll like the way he looks. I guarantee it.
P.S. This doesn't include what he's still getting from his under the table share with the Brewers. Fuck this guy.
Little known fact: All those bowties are made of
pure silkdead babies, and we all know those don't come cheap…You know who is really pissed to hear this news? His personal pilot, Launchpad McQuack. Selig has been paying him in peanuts and cracker jacks for years.

Gary Bettman's ears are burning.
The only way to stop Bud Selig is to steal his Number One Dime.

Bettman is at least aggressively bad. I could dig up a tree stump to do Selig's job.

Fun Fact: His annual salary is about the amount he paid for the Seattle Pilots.
Bud Selig: Douchebag Since 1971
Selig sucks at a lot of things, but i don't know where you get lack of vision from. Interleague play and the wildcard playoff system are both his initiatives, and they both turned out great for the fans.
Not saying he isn't a complete douche, because he is, just think there's more and better things to criticize than that.
From a business standpoint, he earned his bonus by ignoring the steroid situation, since the homeruns brought the fans in and now baseball's more profitable than ever. He looks like a moron to us, but to the 30 owners, he's doing a good job.
Jenna was starting to look a little better in yesterdays post. WTF?
@Cubs Fan: I'll have none of your rational discussion.
I suppose the fact that attendance is at an all time high, and the owners are making billions isn't lost on you guys. The owners are the ones that pay his salary. I agree on most fronts, especially "douchebucket", but saying he has a lack of vision is moronic. Competitive balance anyone? 7 years, 7 different world series winners. Its never happened in the NFL
Seriously overpaid, but worse then just sitting there doing nothing is:
5.9 million for Gary Fucking Bettman (NHL)
I challenge you to find someone who's fucked up their league more.
He has no TV deal when he once had national deals with Fox and ESPN.
He's put teams in markets that couldn't give a fuck and took them out of markets (Canada) that pour money into the league.
Something like 75% of the leagues revenues come from 5 Canadian teams (the oilers dont make money, somehow)
The god damn CFL is run better.
Balltastic, there haven't been 7 different WS winners in the last 7 years. And competitive balance isn't really a good word to describe the MLB with the bottom teams constantly staying the same.
You know, it wasn't "Gary Fucking Bettman" that moved the Jets to Phoenix, and it wasn't "Gary Fucking Bettman" that moved the Whale to Raleigh. Don't you think some of these franchises left Canada because the at the time the canadian dollar was equal to something like negative 4 cents american? (and oh by the way, those two franchises are doing just fine, as are the Avs in Denver). Only misinformed morons think that just because its warm outside, that a hockey market can't exist. And last time I checked, attendance as a whole is just fine. Hell, even the Blackhawks sold out last Friday night.
15$ million a year but I have to be Bud Selig?
or
$50,000 a year but I get to be me?
Hmm…guess you can buy a lot of hookers for $15 million, but you're stuck with that "jew dick" thing….hmmm
Taco, I believe he's referring to 2000 to 2006.
However, from 1978 to 1990, 13 different teams won the WS and if you go to 1992 you have 14 teams out of 15 years. So let's not give Selig too much credit for the 7 year run, especially when the Yanks and Braves dominated their divisions for a decade and a half but just didn't pull it out in the playoffs.
