RME JICO Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Tiger Woods is poor. Who the hell is paying Michelle Wie that much for endorsements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangercal Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 How did Tiger Make 100 mil in endorsements and Peyton Manning only 13 mil? It seems like Manning is on TV every 2 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like Manning is on TV every 2 minutes. Nike has a HUGE deal with Tiger, and so does Buick. Edited June 5, 2007 by RME JICO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangercal Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 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.

Buehrle>Wood Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 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?

SoxFanForever Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).

WilliamTell Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 (edited) 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.

Off the top of my head, I know he has endorsements with KPMG/Bearing Point, Rolex, Titleist, Calloway, and Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
