I came across this nifty page on ESPN.com that will compare your salary with that of top-tier professional players from the NBA, NHL and MLB. You get a breakdown of how long it takes a player to earn your annual salary (before taxes).

For instance, if you make $65,000 a year…

Peyton Manning makes $65,000 after the following…

.06 Games
.12 Touchdown passes
16.97 Passing yards
1.63 Pass completions

You will need to work 276.92 years in order to make Peyton Manning’s annual salary.

The world is a fascinating place. I never even knew this sport existed. It is played in 57 countries.

RIP Yankee Icons – George Steinbrenner 1930-2010, Bob Sheppard 1910, 2010

Longtime Yankees owner George Steinbrenner died today. Often a polarizing figure, Steinbrenner built a behemoth of a sports empire. He always set the bar as high as possible – failure was unacceptable. It’s been great being a Yankee fan under his leadership. I think he’s taught a lot of people what winning means. Always intense and always classy, he will be missed.

Longtime Yankee announcer Robert Leo “Bob” Sheppard died on the 11th.

(Pretty) Good Old Days

Not too long ago the Knicks were contenders and had many memorable playoff games against the Pacers. The crowd reaction to LJ’s 3 pointer is just awesome. Though the Knicks naver won it all during Ewing’s reign they were a force. What are they now? Irrelevant. Another year, another playoffs, another no-show.
