Show I I I 6 THE MAGNA TIMES, V July 14, 2005 EST VALEEV NEW S, KEARNS POST Sports View foiglhiora sGneep July 23 has been said that if want to make you can do it two ways. (1) You can do something no one else wants to do; and (2) You can do something better than anyone else. How do you make money? are a few There exceptions to these two axioms. Namely, Tim Duncan and Shaquille Neither one of them could make a free throw if you locked them in the gym overnight. Duncan was lousy recently (and he makes $20 million a year). Shaq is lousy every Sunday, and most other days too. Duncan didn't want my part of the free throw line on a recent Sabbath. He would have been better off in church. He was praying anyway; praying that he wouldn't get fouled. When, he did step to the line, he was shivering like a dog passing peach stones. Shaq laughs it off. "I can make them when they really count," he says. Thing is, he can't; never could, never will. had a freshmen in my Physical Education class who had to make 20 out of 25 to get an A. A lot of them did it too! And for no money at all. The woods are full of Hitlers who can't hit 220, and that make several million a year. How come? fhe American fan is all mixed up when it conies to money. They will clamor to see Barry Bonds hit a home run; pay any price, in fact. The ball is steroid driven. Take Barry's salary, deduct the cost of steroid dosage, and the home run still costs a $100,000 each, or two new Escalades. The price of watching Shaq miss free throws It 1 left-hande- Bighorn sheep viewing will be best early in the morning and later in the evening during a Division of Resources-spon-sore- d Wildlife bighorn sheep watch on July 23. The event will be held in the city of Sunnyside, which is about 20 miles east of Price. DWR biologists will be available from 7 to 9 a.m. in the morning, and 7 to 9 p.m. in the evening, to help people locate the Rocky Mountain bighorns and answer questions. Those interested in viewing the bighorns are advised to avoid the midmorning to late afternoon period, when the sheep bed down to escape the summer heat and become very difficult, or impossible, to see. Almost every year, a band of bighorn rams summers at the far east end of the town. They typically forage on vegetation in the area and water at Grassy Trail Creek. Their numbers usually vary between 10 and 25, although as many as 40 have been observed. When monsoonal moisture arrives in August or September, the rams leave Sunnyside and return to the high plateaus overlooking for a couple of years would almost buy you a new kitchen, or pay a lot of green fees. You could buy that horse you've always wanted, or maybe a boat; hay for the horse, gas for the boat, and still be ahead. "Look at me," Shaq says, "I'm big." "Look at me," Duncan says, "I'm nervous." "Look at me," a $100 bill says, "1 can get you into a game - maybe." Save your money!! IMONS SAYS: "Money can't buy free throws, but you can often get some nearer misses."
