Blackhawks defenseman Boris Mironov
(4 points in 20 games) is suspended without pay since he
refused to play last week and demanded a trade. With a $3.3 million salary this season, Mironov is losing $18,333 a day (or $109,998 so far). Here’s what he could be buying with all that cash:
– Boris Mironov autographed puck on eBay: $1.99.
Oh the irony.
Left to spend: $109,996.01
– PlayStation 2 plus NHL 2003: $249.98.
Finally, a chance to play in an All-Star game.
Left to spend: $109,746.03
– Three nights at “Crazy Horse Too”: $10,000.
We don’t want to know how he spent it.
Left to spend: $99,746.03
– A ride in a real MiG-29 fighter jet over Russia: $15,000.
What the hell, he’s got the time.
Make it two trips for $30,000
Left to spend: $69,746.03
– Blackhawks season tickets (for him
and 50 bodyguards): $57,375.
Sorry, 300-level seats only. And it’s best not to make eye contact with any fans.
Left to spend: $12,371.03
– 1988 Yugo GV with 94,000 miles
(fully restored): $2,995.
So he can hit the road.
Left to spend: $9,376.03.
– Segway Human Transporter: $4,950.
For when the Yugo breaks down.
Left to spend: $4,426.03
– Lottery tickets: $4,000
Lord knows that’s the only way he’ll “earn” his money.
Left to spend: $426.03
Go ahead, Boris, keep the change.
You’ll need it in a few weeks.
