PIR Retirement Scenario # 274

Barker To Hire Beckham for Final Price is Right Retirement Spectacular

In what seems like a drunk-inspired public relations stunt, Bob Barker of The Price is Right has hired David Beckham, popular UK footballer.

"Mr. Barker wanted to have David there to greet contestants as they go onstage for the games. Unfortunately this contract will undermine any negotiations with MLS team the LA Galaxy and Barker has compensated both Beckham and the Galaxy for such. Barker felt that perhaps Beckham was giving up on being a serious professional and thought he would appreciate a position in the limelight."

"Bob's on point with this one," Popular Price is Right blogger Carson said, "I mean I agree totally, Beckham wants to be a Hollywood star and a A-list celeb, Bob's just giving him a vehicle. I appreciate the humanitarian side of Bob's decisions, he's not thinking about how Price fans are going to react, he just wants Beckham happy. And while Bob cannot provide the challenging arena for football like the LA Galaxy can, Bob can introduce Beckham to millions of American homes at ten in the morning everyday Monday through Friday. Fame like that you can't buy for two and a half million dollars."
