You can always count on the guys at Don't Cost Nothing to put things into perspective. Yesterday Belushi posted about the World's Richest Athletes...it was a follow up to his post on the World's Most Marketable Athletes. Tiger came out on top of both lists...by far...across all sports. This is quite impressive, but not too terribly surprising. Tiger's marketability and endorsement earnings are pretty much legendary by now.
Phil and Vijay are also on the list along with stars from myriad other sports; Shaquille O'Niel, Roger Federer, David Beckham and others. The data was actually collected by Sports Illustrated, but the thing that's so...engaging...here is the commentary. These boys... Belushi and his friends... are always an entertaining read. They're smart and funny with a neanderthal edge that's oddly endearing. They all love golf too. They're the ones who once described Sergio Garcia as looking like a bearded traffic cone. See what I mean? Their blog has a really nice, minimalist feel. And lots of photos of ridiculously sexy girls too. Yes, I'm pretty sure that once you check it out, you'll be checking back often. Like I do.
I see the guy had a post about Allison Stokke. I actually felt bad for her for a minute - she was unprepared for the onslaught of media that's swamped her in these past two months. Then I realized she'll probably figure out how to handle it. As JFK jr once said "There are worse things that can happen than people telling you you look good in a bathing suit."
ReplyDeleteTheir article on the women of tennis is pretty impressive.
ReplyDeleteThey are a bit too neanderthal for my taste...though I do agree that Sergio looks like a traffic cone in that pic.
ReplyDeleteAgree on the "neanderthal" comment. And I am one of the guys who writes for the site.
ReplyDeleteBut at least you can say we try to paint a clear picture of the male mind.
