The New York Islanders HAVE to pay their goalie Rick DiPietro $10.5m over the next 7 seasons (ending 2029) at a rate of $1.5m per season (quick maffs).
In the world of sports this doesn’t appear to be that much money at all, until you realise….
Rick DiPietro retired in 2013!
Rick has already collected $13.5m from the NYI since his retirement.
I’m in the wrong job

Bobby Bonilla retired from the MLB in 2001. The Mets will be paying him until 2035, when he will be 72. He gets just under $1.2M per year throughout the time frame. It is the world heavyweight champion worst sports contract.

zackster in Top Trumps - ‘Worst Contracts Ever’… you win
Edit: Love that there’s a Bobby Bonilla day (1st July) when Mets fans openly celebrate Bobby picking up his annual cheque. Big League BANTS!
zackster I heard about this for the first time recently. Something about the Mets owner/GM being in deep with investments with Bernie Madoff - and therefore thinking that his vast payouts from his investments would more than cover the compound interest on Bonilla’s contract.
Turned out well, that.
Ivana Trump has passed away
I had no idea. She led a great life…
Mad_Cyril Bloody hell!
What were his repayments? 50p a month + interest?
Here we go!

What’s the general consensus on Dave Rubin? I have a mate who sends me clips of the Rubin report quite regularly. Is he a serious commentator, or a laughing stock over there?
