    Eli Manning's extension was 6 years, $97.5 million. Brady's extension was worth more on a per year basis.



    Peyton would have been the highest paid, but I don't think his guaranteed money is as high as Brady's and considering he didnt play football this year, he wouldn't have reached any of his bonuses/incentives. Open for correction on that however.
    Don't have time to correct you now, but think about it...he got $30million for not even playing last season...he is the highest paid player as per the terms of his contract! Due $28million in a month!

    A-Rod must be minted. Crazy money in baseball. And people say the soccer players are overpaid.

    Also Nicks' hands are HUUUUUUUGE.

    Doesn't Larry Fitzgerald have the largest football contract? Crazy money but way behind basketball and baseball.

    It's mad isn't it?! But they can.

    We had a guy in talking to us about soccer scholarships and he says whatever time your injury can be treated in Ireland or Britain, it can be treated and be recovered in half the time in America!

    OT question. I'm watching on BBC and they have a couple of guys filling in during the breaks in play. In America do they have the same or is that time used for commercials?

    Bradshaw (Giants #44) is the real workhorse so far: racking up the yards.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    I'm giving the people what they want. No one wants to hear that this blockbuster sport's highest paid player is ol' Forest Gump over here. I'm giving the people what they want.

    Commercials. The Superbowl ad breaks has the most expensive ad time per second of any ad in the world.

    Usually the brands put on funny ads as well. There's been some ok ones so far.
