What other people make is always fascinating, I don't care who you are. That's why the one issue of Parade that you absolutely have to look at every year is the "What People Earn" issue - that and too see what Howard Huge is up to, but that goes without saying.
At my last job, people could find out my salary by filing a freedom of information request and I did read what I make in the paper on more than one occasion. Luckily no one cared because frankly I'm not all that interesting. Those days are now over, so I'm not telling you I pull down now -- however I will divulge that the google ad revenue we are pulling down on this site is enough to feed a small army.......of ants. We're talking serious dollars here - like $14 of them.
Anyway, the guys over at The Big Lead guestimated what some of the biggest names in sports journalism are making, and it a terrific read - go check it out.....and if anyone wants to advertise on this site let us know, because I can promise you, it won't cost much.

Thats a pretty neat twist on sports. You always think salary of major athletes never really wondered about journalists. However I would be more interested to know what Erin Andrews and PJ from MY BOYS, the television show on TBS make, and if its not that lucrative maybe they could do porn preferably together!
Nice find, I think it is interesting how wide the top end and the low end of those well known writers is. You have to imagine that the "not known" ones are making peanuts.

Wow, if it wasn't for their inspiration, how could we know what was going on in the Wide World of Sports? Cough.
Thank Jesus for Around the Horn, the CSPAN of the Sports World.
