THE TRADE YOUR LIFE GAME

Posted by Nortyin Other

It’ll be pretty obvious in my writings that I am a discontent, but I know I’m not the only one. Every now and then, buddies and I will be watching sports and start playing one of the stupidest games ever created.  Obviously, this is a revelation into how boring my life is, but also raises an interesting debate. If your not rich, famous, and don’t have hot women trying to jump through your window this game works for you. We’ll be watching a game and someone will pop up on the TV, and then comes judgment day; Would you trade your life to be that particular person? A few came into play this week/weekend and I’ll leave you to render your own verdict.

1.) Sebastian Janikowski

This is a tough one. The guy is a chubby loser, who gets into trouble every two seconds. He does make a couple million a year and despite not being the most handsome guy in the world probably has no trouble getting playmates. I sold my soul to the devil and said yes. $10 million is $10 million

2.) Joakim Noah

Holy….. I said no. My reasoning. A. Florida beat Nova in the tournament a few years ago so it’d be sacreligious B.) This guy probably does not have the “I’m a pro athlete so I get any girl I want” clause working for him. C.) His game suggests a “Rodman-like” longevity, but those guys are a dying bread. Although he’ll never want for money he may not be a millionaire forever, and hey, I still have a chance to be a millionaire.

3.) Alex Ovechkin

Ever notice how this dude is the best hockey player in the world and doesn’t get any burn when it comes to TV endorsements. Well, unfortunately the guy isn’t very cute. This one was a no-brainer yes for me. The guy is absolutely filthy at hockey, will make MILLIONS and be the best over the next ten years. Also, he is probably hot in Russia. I mean his girlfriend is hot. Sign me up.

4.) Vince Young

This one was done simply because of his outstanding performance on Sunday. I politely declined. My reasoning…. his Wonderlic score. The guy is a certified bozo.  A few games isn’t enough to make me feel reassured about the rest of my life as this dude. Sorry to say, but this guy has financial troubles written all over him 5 years after his career is over. Nothing personal against Vince, and I’m sure he gets plenty of women. Just too risky right now, I think I’ll ride my shitty life out.

5.) Mike Vick

I live in Philly. Obvious pick. I struggled with this one, and seeing the jail time is over I’m going to take the chance.  He probably will get a shot at a few solid years as an NFL quaterback, and more importantly a chance to become a role model and spokesperson for GOOD causes. I think he’s learned his lesson and won’t take his life for granted this time around. This is a huge risk seeing he’s a D-bag, but we’ll take a shot….. I know I am going to pay for this one….
