makes me fucking sick to my stomach what some of these people get paid in endorsements..Tiger Woods.....
amazing how money gets wasted.

[[THANATOS].m3d!c]

It's the stupid consumers that buy the overpriced products that endorses them: Nike, Rebook, Addidas, Buick, and etc.
Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Lebron James, and a few others make more from endorsements than their salary...un-friggin-believable.

#22 Steve Francis - "Francis didn't play a minute last season, yet earned $17 million left over from his 2007 buyout with Portland and another $2.6 million from Houston and Memphis, which waived him in January."

I wish I got paid like that for sitting around on my ass.

Yeah, apparently that guy has figured out the secret.

What I still don't get is why the LA Galaxy signed Beckham for $45 mil, the guy is fucking useless.

Theyre debating here in holland about the ridiculous salarys these guys get.

Everyone is whining and nagging to the directors and managers from compagny's who get a couple of million a year for BONUS!

But these guys..... you dont hear anyone talking about them.

I bet, when you lower it to some level where you CANT get paid no more. Half the people in sport will quit, cause they only do it for the money (ahum soccer players AHUM)

Who doesn't/wouldn't do it for the money?

[[THANATOS].Zer0-^GT]

Look back 20 years. They did it with theyre hearts. Now, theyre selfish numbnuts who only do it for the cash.

So yea, everyone does. Now in these days

A lot of them play for both reasons...

I.E. Kobe who I hate but grudgingly admit that he plays his heart out.
