I am guessing that is annual salaries?

I think I need a new job.

Is this annual salary? Does this include endorsements?

Every one of those fuckers is useless. They might be entertaining, but they are useless and typically as irritating as hollywierd.

Tiger Woods? He's still around? See what happens when you land a hottie, or in this case when the hottie lands you. LOL

Michale Schumacher, the greatest F1 driver ever, deserves every cent he can milk out of his sponsors! Good for him, he has earned it.

To scroll to the bottom of this thread to offer and contribute. Only to find Smackie's comment! Well I can't tell you how upsetting that is! That he would slander me like that in front of the crowd is quite troubling. And I don't appreciate it one bit!

What I planned on typing, before the D&B Brawler interjected, was that I think the list is flawed because I was certain Dirk Nowitski made quite a bit of money in Dallas.

If you are making $1.2 million a year from internet hoops, then you're quite a success, congrats! :thumb: How could his comment have been upsetting?! [img]/images/graemlins/wink[/img]
