Aussie Millions
Once again, BRW have released their Top 50 Australian Sports Earners for the year. [BRW highest sports earners] No points for guessing who is number 1, yet again. Greg Norman. The Shark amassed the same as he did last year, pocketing $20 million. Shark doesn’t get out on the course much anymore…only $500,000 was from […]

Impossible Is Nothing
Gilbert Arenas is one of the most marketable sports personalities currently playing a professional sport in the United States. That says a lot, considering he wore the number 0 originally at Arizona because he was told that he would never get any playing time. He continues to wear the number to spite his former doubters. […]
We enjoyed Champaign, Illinois last week. Nothing like being in a town when its team unpredictably knocks off the #1 team in the nation. Unfortunately this week’s Friday Wrap-Up comes to you back from Gainesville, FL, where I am beginning to fret about first semester Law School finals. Dwyane Wade has signed with William Morris […]
