Limbaugh and Clear Channel signed an eight-year, $400,000,000 contract extension in August 2008.

thats 50 mil a year for limbaugh. not really absurd that rome makes 60% of that. hes on 200+ radio stations, in virtually every market in the country, and gets solid ratings nationally

Rome is nowhere near Limbaugh in terms of popularity/infamy

no hes not, but bear in mind rome signed his multi year deal back in 2006, when everything was on and poppin in the economy, satelitte radio was seen as a possible death knell to terrestrial radio so they were doing all they could to keep talent away from xm/sirius etc. if jim rome went to satellite, theres a low nine figures of LOYAL listeners, in key demographics being almost exclusively males in their teens up to their 40s, that would leave have left with him to sattelite. 30 million a year doesnt sound crazy to me at all considering the context of the contract

If Stern was serious about Fixing games Dirk and Nash would have 3 rings each by now.

its crazy that 99.99% of athletes make more than $60,000 a year for some shyt we used to do for fun growing up... We really lost perspective on shyt decades ago


When I see an athelete complain about money and theyve made millions :bustback: :damn: :why:

Its the same as politicians to me.. I feel athletes should be paid regular salaries and then paid based on endorsements ( i feel endorsements should stay how they are ) as in REWARD the athlete. Dont PAY the athlete insane amount and then on top of that pay them insane endorsement.

People forgot how to be humble in this country/world..

:shaq2: at players riding the bench in professional sports making more money in 3 years than we'll hope to have in our retirement accounts when we hit 65 :why:


Juwan Howard made more money this year than more than likely anyone on this forum :why: you cant tell me he worked harder than me this year and I work at a good job! shyt just never made sense to me, never will no matter how anyone explains it.

fukk athletes fukk $400,000,000 million dollar contracts for 1 person :why: we got these fukking schools shutting down and 1 person boutta get paid $400 million over 8 years :damn:

My elementary school shut down
The high school sports in the city im living in lost its sports programs 1 year and almost lost it again this year but all the teachers took a pay cut, while we pay the person who in charge of decisions like this $250k a year ( :wtf: )

while people who TALK about sports, dont even PLAY the fukking sport making $30-50 million a year

then we wonder why we so fukkin broke.. look where our priority's at :smh:

sorry for the rant just seein someone makin $400 million over 8 years for talkin about the same shyt I just said above..is just fukking stupid.. continue on with the fukkery

:aicmon::mjpls::childplease::why::rudy::dwillhuh::upsetfavre::shaq2: to all of this. If someone is willing to pay any of these cats the money they're being paid, who am I to begrudge them their money?



thats the thing tho... people DONT want to pay them what they wanna get paid


thats why we have lock outs and low ratings (overall, not during playoffs/championships but even then sometimes low ratings for those as well)

What you're saying has some truths but there's only like 400 people in the nba. That's a real small percentage of the population with a specialized skill that brings in a ton of money to a city.

I've never once understood the notion that an athlete should get payed like say a teacher because then they'd basically be slaves based on the money they bring in to the money they receive.
