It's too bad about Penny and his injurys

Saw him person twice before his injurys and definatly one of the most amazing athletes I have ever seen.
Then he had those commercials with the penny doll and the Chris Rock voice overs, he used to be quite the thing. Really liked the guy.

No. Insurance covered the rest.

Van Horn gets the Albert 'Joey' Belle award.

Darren Dreifort Comes to mind. Higest paid middle reliever in the history of baseball.

I think B.J Ryan may be next on this list a few years from now. Toronto way over-paid him.

What about Tim Thomas? Atleast Penny and Van Horn were all-stars or near all-stars Thomas is a guy who had all the talent in the world and just doesn't wanna apply it...now he is pretty much washed up.

I have no clue if this is true, and it seems unbelievable, but a buddy told me a few years ago Dikembe Mutombo was the third highest paid player in the NBA

from http://www.insidehoops.com/nbasalaries.shtml

"Note: Dikembe Mutombo, between the Nets (buyout) and Rockets, makes around $18.8 million"
