Annotated Bibliography

Badenhausen, Kurt. "Is Michael Vick Worth $100 Million?" Forbes. Forbes Magazine, 30 Aug. 2011. Web. 28 Feb. 2012.

The author discusses how Vick had an amazing comeback, doing way better than everyone thought, from all the legal drama he was involved in to being among the highest paid athletes in the NFL. Seeing that most people believed he would never even return the the NFL. It goes on further to give some stats on him and how he has grown as a QB. The main part of the article is asking is he really worth the $100 million that he will be getting paid? They are saying that even though now he is a good QB but he is about to turn 30 years old and many people in the past after their 30th birthday passes they tend to slow down tremendously. Overall Badenhausen is saying this is his second chance at telling everyone what was done in the past has nothing to do with his football abilities now. At the end of the day the man is an amazing QB and just an overall good football player, others may disagree just because of his past but the past is the past. Him going to jail and getting charged has nothing to do with his football abilities.

Mastroberardino, John. "Best-paid Athletes in 30 Sports." ESPN.com. ESPN, 20 Apr. 2011. Web. 14 Mar. 2012.

This has a quick paragraph, about eight sentences, that describes what the information is showing. It is the base salaries of some of the highest paid athletes in 30 different sports. This is the latest salary from the 2011 season. It is only the base salary not endorsements or anything of that nature. I used this article and data in my third blog post, for information on how much baseball players make. Also, I used some salaries that were posted to show how ridiculous the salaries are for athletes like Alex Rodriguez and Manny Pacquiao are.

This was a strict information webpage, no article involved.
