Trading Places...or Lives

Off the top of your head, would you rather be Tim Duncan, Tom Brady, Derek Jeter or Tiger Woods?

All four are at the top, or have been at the top of their sport for years.  But you can only pick one.  And believe it or not, some of their lives have downsides!

Duncan?  Great character, great team, great family, and loads of money.  But he travels six months out of the year, and over 100 basketball games a year?  I wouldn't want to be Tim when he's 40!

Brady?  Let's see...do I date the blonde supermodel or the brunette?  He makes 15 million a season, but he's one big hit from the looney bin.  Great life--when things are right.

Jeter?  Wow!  Is there any model/actress/singer he hasn't been linked to?  Plus, he's captain of the most visible team in professional sports.  But like Tim, he plays 6 months out of the year.

And that brings us to the man who lives in the closest thing we know to be Heaven on Earth.  Is there anything Tiger Woods doesn't have?  He just signed a 100 million dollar contract for his own brand of Gatorade.  That's right--next March, you can buy Gatorade Tiger wherever they sell the sports drink.  That's 100 million on top of the 100 million he made last year.  The only person richer in the "celebrity" world is Oprah.

Come to think of it...I wouldn't mind being....nah!  Anyway, take your pick among those four or anybody else who gets the greatest gig in the world:  professional athlete.

All the athletes listed are great choices but I wondered where were the women ? Why not list some of our many successful women - just a thought not trying to criticize. Thanks for the hard work.
