also, the #s are always offon these things, athletes never see anywhere close to that big #. That $40m? Figure the athelete ended up with <1/2 that after financial planners, accountants, managers, agents, etc. all take their cuts first.

Just like building a web site, my programmer and designer get their cut before I see a fucking dime. That site goes belly up and I'm out money after spending all my dough on fancy designers. Ok, not exactly identical situation, but you get the gist. a lot of entities get their cut before the dude who makes that money.
