June 5, 200718 yr http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/more/spec...2007/index.html Only one Chicago athlete makes the list, Ben Wallace at #36. The first Baseball player is Jeter at #8. The Yankees had 6 in the top 50. The NBA has some ridiculous contracts.
June 5, 200718 yr Tiger Woods is poor. Who the hell is paying Michelle Wie that much for endorsements?
June 5, 200718 yr How did Tiger Make 100 mil in endorsements and Peyton Manning only 13 mil? It seems like Manning is on TV every 2 minutes.

June 5, 200718 yr some other things to add: If Barry Bonds were a halfway decent guy he would be at least 4th on this list, easy. How the hell is Pujols only 44? Should be top 10 in sports. How Did Oscar Rape Floyd out of so much money? Will we ever see a UFC fighter make this list? Jalen Rose on the list is pretty comical.
June 5, 200718 yr QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 04:54 PM) How Did Oscar Rape Floyd out of so much money? Oscar is his own promoter and PBF isn't. Oscar also has the much bigger name. I wouldn't be shedding to many tears for Floyd though. He got what, 26 million? QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 04:54 PM) Will we ever see a UFC fighter make this list? Not in the forseeable future.
June 6, 200718 yr QUOTE(ChiSox_Sonix @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 12:15 PM) How bout those contracts to Eddie Jones and Michael Finley I was just thinking the same thing. You could get Jones' production from a god damn rookie. What a joke.
June 6, 200718 yr QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 5, 2007 -> 09:54 AM) How the hell is Pujols only 44? Should be top 10 in sports. Pujols is only in his 7th full year of MLB service, and the Cardinals were smart enough to get him signed to a big, long-term deal of reasonable value after like 3 years of service time, so that they wouldn't go rapidly from him at $5 mil or so a year to him at $18 mil a year, which at the time was a very good deal for Mr. Pujols to sign based on the average salaries in MLB and the fact that it's always a good idea to get signed to a contract early since you never know when an injury could crop up (Hi Mr. Crede).

I understand that part, I just figure he is a pretty marketable guy.

June 7, 200718 yr Hey Jalen will take it. He was just lucky enough to be on the Pacers when they offered monsterous contracts to him and a couple of others. Edited June 7, 200718 yr by WilliamTell
June 8, 200718 yr QUOTE(CrimsonWeltall @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 01:06 PM) What the hell does Phil Mickelson endorse for $47,000,000? Off the top of my head, I know he has endorsements with KPMG/Bearing Point, Rolex, Titleist, Calloway, and Ford.
