Thuzio And Hiring Athletes To Do Whatever You Want

So apparently Tiki Barber has helped create this athlete-fan hook-up site where we, as fans, can pay for a variety of experiences with the athlete of our choice (as long as said athlete is one of 340 listed on Thuzio).

There are 16 hockey players listed, 3 of which are Islanders (greats).

Mike Bossy

Bob Nystrom

Clark Gillies

(also listed in order of cost, Gillies is usually about half as expensive as Bossy...but still expensive)

The great part? There is a "Custom Request" option for each player. So, Dom and the LHH FO, get that internet money we all know you're rolling in each night into play and sign us up some guest columnists or shoot a video of you guys feeding ducks or get them to make a comeback and hammer some sense into our guys. It probably won't cost that much...hopefully less than $5,000 for golf with Bossy.

Added bonus:

Billy Jaffe

He has an option for a pick-up game for $500. One would assume it's hockey, but it doesn't specify what the game is. So, next time you're down a player in your D&D campaign, consider Jaffe.

"NO! JAFFE ONLY PLAYS ELVES! WHY DO YOU THINK WANG FIRED ME? A-HOLE DEMANDED I BE A DWARF!"

Disclaimer: I have no idea how successful this venture will be. I certainly don't have the expendable income to justify any of these purchases. For a good number of players, there are $99 ten minute calls, which is just enough time to get through being awkward before the athlete hangs up on you.
