i think he's now the highest paid sportsman in the world. not 100% sure, but i think so. jordan never made $50 million a year.

i bet this ends up mostly a bust...at best, football will go from being a sport watched by latinos and europhiles to one also watched by a moderate number of non-latino, non-europhilic americans...like ice hockey.
