WPS players will earn an average of $32,000 for a seven-month contract, which frees the players to suit up overseas, or hold down another job, in the off-season to supplement their income.

In the movie, skating's criminal underside is personified by Stranz and Fairchild Van Waldenberg, a borderline-incestuous brother-sister pair whose long-skate routine has the theme "Forbidden Love," with Stranz skating as JFK and Fairchild as Marilyn Monroe. Arnett and Poehler's turn doesn't quite match Baron Cohen's as the French driver in Talladega, but Arnett gets points for smarming...
