huh? 252 million for a-rod? manny got 8 years for 160 million, and mickleson, tiger, beckham, schumacher all make sick amounts. 252 million dollars is real money, like "i manage a hedge fund and that's a real chagall on da wall" money. there are maybe a half-dozen that will get paid close to that for just acting, throw in mick jagger, oprah and madonna and it's pretty even between the michael jordans and the entertainers.
