No.  They were given $40,000, but not from FEMA.  It came from the NFL.

I am not, but there is one individual in LA who was reported to have season tickets at $3000 for the season. His yearly salary is $10,000. I give him props as the biggest fan of any team. That was reported on ESPN, Mike & Mike in the morning, Cold Pizza, and PTI, all ESPN shows.

Yes, they get about 17,000 dollars each for the playoffs, and about 40,000 each for the Super Bowl. Those amounts could be slightly higher, but should be pretty close.

Amen, "slyone". \n\nWhat a joke. The city of New Orleans had the most money alloted to them for levee improvements throught Army Corps of Engineers projects for years and years before the hurricane hit. What did they do with it? Nothing!

It depends.\n\nSome funds are used to support charitable causes.  The leagues given collective baragining agreement defines some of this.\n\nLeagues do try to avoid the perception that they are fining players to generate revenue or exectuve bonuses.

Hey Ted K, take it easy- you're pretty F ucked up and you may need some counseling. \n\nAnyways, it's Brett Favre- Stephen Davis was the closest before him making 90 million

I dont know..i have a hard time with giving billions of dollars to a city where people chose to live below sea level and that will likely flood again in the future.  Many of New Orleans residence have found homes elsewhere and will not be returning. The ones that do should have insurance, right?  Why should we pay for them to rebuild?

every team has a fixed value within which the sum of the contracts of all he players should hold called salary cap space.it is around 55 million for every team.when signing players in the resign players, teams can exceed the salary cap space.however during signing free agents it should not exceed the salary cap space.when two teams having negative salary cap are looking to trade players the salaries should have a diufference of less than 100 K (1 million=1000 K ).\nwhen a player from a team retire  or he becomes a free agent at the end of a season he salary is reduced from the given salary space.the teams with highest salary spaces are atlanta and charlotte having +23 and +21 million respectively.the teams with the lowest salary spaces are newyork and dallas with -60 and -44 million respectively

Players are paid what the market offers.  Team owners generally overpay players in fear that the player may sign elsewhere.  I don't have a problem with a football player getting $2 million.  The average career of a football player is 4.5 seasons.  If that player is injured, and cannot work, then I can justify their salary.  As long as we the Suckers, keep buying tickets, jerseys, memorabilia and the like, then pro players will be overpaid.

I might be wrong but I think this is the answer;\n\nEssien, arguably, one of the highest paid African players, plying his trade in Europe, signed from Lyons last summer for £24.4 million to Chelsea of England.\nThere was also a school of thought in some quarters, which believes that Essien’s absence at the Nations Cup, would be a good omen for the Super Eagles.

YES!! Not just football either. professional athletes get paid an obscene amt of money...oh, are they saving lives and changing the world?  Doctors earn their salaries.  Nurses,policemen, and all civil employees need a bump up.  No family of an American soldier should have to be on PUBLIC ASSISTANCE in order to care for their families.  Something is egregiously off center here.\n\nlike I said...obscene.

The Saints will trade Bush down for better players they have D.McAllister and he's good. Haslett busted the best defense they ever had that Mike Dika built Jim was a sorry Coach it will take 5 years to fix his mess.\n\nThere is nothing i cannot tell you about the Saints i live there i went to the games growing up.\n\nI have nearly have ever New Orleans Saints Official year books. I can tell you without a computer who played for the Saints since 1969 and what college to how much they weighed and stat's\n\n\nI was a true blue Saints fan been to many games but i got sick of them losing and wasting my time when Ken Stabler went to the Oakland Raiders so did i now I'm a Raider fan for life.\n\nI'm not knocking the Saints and i never will get them out of me all the way but my heart lays else where\n\nThat sorry Haslett was out of damage control the Saints are JINKS with poor foundation not players if Benson would sell the team they may have a chance to succeed.

My coworker managed to get 8 of them, and he's putting them up there now.\n\nI saw a couple go for around $40K this morning.\n\n(And one went for $10million... I imagine we'll see a blurb about that shortly... :)

Yes. Of course the millions that are paid to these athletes is mind boggling. And what have the been the results of all that? Recklessness, drug abuse, poor and underachievement and many other unacceptable behaviors.
