    How 'bout Darrius Heyward Bey checking in as the 28th highest paid American athlete? Oy.

    Also, Tiger still leads the pack by a ton, thanks to $70 mil in endorsements.

    I find it hard to believe Peyton Manning earns "only" $15 million in endorsements.
    Dude is in EVERY commercial.

    Outside of Tiger, Phil and LeBron, Manning ranks near the top of the endorsement money list. Nike bumps up Tiger and LeBron.

    Which shoe company is Manning with?

    Jermaine O'Neal, McGrady, Shaq, Redd, Carter. Interesting how many unproductive washed up former NBA stars still sit atop that list. No wonder the league would like to do away with guaranteed contracts.

    Atop the list? Of those five, only Shaq is in the top 20.

    I think it said Shaq has made something like $290 million over his career. Daaaamn. That's some serious cabbage.
