Within 10% either way, how much money was Michael Jordan paid by the Chicago Bulls in his first twelve seasons? 1985-1996
That was just a guess of course but it comes out to about 5 million a year. Should have given it thought. 1985 was early in his career. I would think by 1996 he would be making a lot more but that was 24 years ago. Maybe more like 20 million but that may be high.Can you imagine if he were playing today and he was 26 or 27 years old. What would he be getting? Not only him but Jabbar, Bird,Magic Johnson and Dr J in basketball to name a few. How about baseball players in their prime like Mantle, Mays, Gibson, Koufax , Musial, Ted Williams to name a few in their prime. NFL? Johnny Unitas, Jim Brown, Gayle Sayers, Roger Staubach, Joe Montana and Jerry Rice. Montana and Rice won how many Super Bowls each? What would Muhamed Ali and Joe Frazier be bringing in for a Thrilla in Manilla. Yes I am old school who happens to believe that old school athletes were just as talented and to some degree better than todays athletes. They were more durable without a doubt so they would be of more value to their franchises. Enough of this old fart's rant. For my second guess I'm gonna say 25 million for the years stated. And that's my final answer unless I'm not right.
OFCskysdad is up . Jordan made $900,000 per year for the first four years and $3 million per year for the final eight. Jordan and Agent David Talk decided that it was better to not renegotiate because he made so much from endorsements. The Bulls paid him $30 million in 1997 and $33 million in 1998. So he made $27.6 million in his first twelve years and skysdad's guess of $25 million is just barely within 10%
Ok just for a little humor but it really did happen. A reporter named "Stuttering John" best known for being on the Howard Stern Show ask one of MLB's all time greats this question during a interview. " Did you ever fart in the catchers face? " OFC

His slended career included 6 batting titles and 2 triple crowns. That's it for the hints. Don't know what else I can say about this HOF'r who managed two franchises with neither one being the team he played for. Did I mention he served in two wars WWII and Korea, was a Naval aviator and was highly decorated winning several awards. OFC
Not Warner. He played for the organization for whom Warner struggled horribly due to a bad thumb
No. Dawson played for Purdue, and Warner for Northern Iowa. This fellow has a son who played QB in the NFL
I'm confused again. I must have missed a post or two. The last post I got was from hart who answered Geds question as Phil Sims. I never saw Geds reply. Did hart get it wrong and RHFD get it right? If so whst is the answer the Geds question? Is RHFD's question he current one? Just need to know what is going on? I may have something wrong with my tablet. OFC

Actually that would be me, but no problem. Let the question of RHFD stay on the table. OFC
You are a good man hart. I remember last off season's trivia at one point there was 3 questions at the same time. Got to be confusing. OFC
