[El Floppo]

[ffjunk]

Store looted. The left the Kirk jersey's.

 

[NutterButter]

Look at those 3 qbs in that top 20.     

 

[ShamrockPride]

And Jordan stills blows all of them out of the water.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Yet 20 more people that have never been in my kitchen.

 

[Don't Toews Me]

Federer's money in endorsements is nuts. $100 million. Next highest in the top 20 in endorsements were LeBron and Tiger at $60 million each. Wow.

And Jordan stills blows all of them out of the water.

Does he blow them in the water too?

It’s just number manipulations with signing bonuses, contract extensions, etc. He makes about $30 million a year. You can argue thats still too much, but that’s a separate argument. 

 

[ShamrockPride]

Does he blow them in the water too?

Only if he wins by doing so.

 

[grateful zed]

yet another list i didnt make.

 

[Stompin' Tom Connors]

All of them are paid way too much IMO, but that's me.

Per @NutterButter's comments, surprising that Cousins, Wentz, and Goff are the Top 3 NFL players there. I mean, not surprising in terms of the deals they made, but in terms of a list of way overvalued people who play sports for a living, there are FAR more deserving players in the NFL who should be making more than these three doofs.

 

[Sand]

Saints have three in the top hundred.
