MattFancy Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/more/specials/fortunate50/2009/index.html?eref=sihpT1 The top 50 highest paid athletes. Its crazy that Tiger is still #1 when he didn't play in any golf tournaments after June last year. I would love to bring in $92M in endorsements! Seems like NBA players dominate the list. For all the people that say we overpay players, there's not one Redskin on the list. Top 5: 1. Tiger Woods 2. Phil Mickelson 3. LeBron James 4. A-Rod 5, Shaq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peeping Wizard Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Football players rarely creep into those lists. With 53 on the roster, shortened careers due to injury plus a strict salary cap, NFL players don't seem to dominate the upper echelons as far as income is concerned.

IbleedBnG83 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 NFL players don't seem to dominate the upper echelons as far as income is concerned. NFL players don't make that much money with the cap and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
