Today's hero may be described quite differently than your hero from thirty years ago. In most cases, the word hero will never be mentioned (as well as it shouldn't be) about players in today's entertainment venues. Instead most of the time, people are looking up to a media fix that declares their "favorite player" a superstar.These players are idolized because they just signed a $150 million dollar contract for five years of work. Maybe it's because they just cleared another player's body, slamming one home. In some cases, it's because they astonishingly made a one handed grab, with two defenders on their back, throwing them both away, and high stepping into the end zone. Either way it will all come back to one thing—how much superstar power they possess and how much will they make becau
