Pro Athlete Salaries in 1987 [Infographic]
Pro athletes make crazy amounts of money. Even the lowest of the low on an NFL roster (practice squad) make what the rest of us would consider an excellent salary (minimum of $4700/week, which adds up to $79,900 over the regular season). It wasn’t always this way though. Back in the 1980′s salaries were much more modest. Here is an inforgraphic from a 1987 issue of Fortune Magazine that shows just how much average salaries in the four major sports have increased over the years. When your done reading this check out How Much Money Do You Make Compared to the Athletes? and The 10 Best Sports Jobs for Non-Athletes.

Defunct Sports Leagues That Should Be Reinstated
The Arena Football League (AFL) was founded in 1987 by a former executive of the United States Football League and the National Football League named Jim Foster.

After some retooling, fans everywhere can experience the triumphant return of the league that gave us Kurt Warner tonight on the NFL Network.

6 Athletes Who Deserve Their Own Biopic
There have been reports Mark Wahlberg has stated he wants to turn “The Fighter” into a trilogy. Is this the next Rocky franchise? Most likely not, since this one’s based on actual events, but one wonders if Mickey Ward’s story warrants three feature length films? Prior to The Fighter’s release, his name rang few bells, but judging by its critical and box office success, one has to take a look around at other sports figures to see who’s ripe for the Hollywood treatment. In April 2009, Bleacher Report published their list of athletes who deserve celluloid dedications, now we have our list. See our selections after the jump!

Charlie Sheen Not On Drugs; Channeling Lou Brown From Major League
COED has just learned that former “Two and a Half Men” ninja warrior Charlie Sheen isn’t on drugs and he isn’t wasted on booze – he’s possessed by the ghost of the Cleveland Indians manager from “Major League”, Lou Brown! After listening to Charlie spew classic one-lines for the last week, we began to recognize his gruff pitch and tonality is on par with the actor who played Lou Brown, James Gammon, who passed away last year right around the time when Charlie’s antics began to cause waves. So, it only makes sense Lou’s spirit would enter the body of his most prized closer Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn. Hear the proof after the jump!

Derek Jeter’s Tampa Super Mansion [Exclusive Pictures]
In early 2010 we heard that Derek Jeter was building a seven bedroom, nine bathroom waterfront mansion on Davis Island in Tampa. At 30,000 square feet the house is as big as a Best Buy and the property alone costs $7 million. We had to see the house for ourselves so we decided to do a little detective work while in Tampa for our 30 Stadiums in 30 Days adventure this summer. The house was quite easy to find. We arrived at Davis Island and within a few minutes (and with the help of a few neighbors) we we’re pointed in the right direction. As you’ll see from the pictures the house is absolutely f–king massive! It is still under construction but the final product should be epic.

Evan Longoria Is Calling You Out!

14 Funniest Post-Game Interviews [TO ALL THE NON BELIEVERS!]
With video of Bart Scott’s emotional post-game interview spreading across the ‘net like whoa, we thought we’d take a look at some of the best postgame interviews ever uploaded. It’s important to note we didn’t include videos from press conferences. Players and coaches know what they’re stepping into when those happen. These post-game interviews feature players fresh off the court, the rink, or the field, often still in uniform, still out-of-breath, and still in the heat of the moment. That’s when you get the best emotion. We know you CAN’T WAIT! See the videos after the jump!

8-Year-Old Cancer Patient Really Hates David Wright [OSN SPORTSDOME VIDEO]
Comedy Central’s newest show, “SportsDome” is from the wise-cracking geniuses behind The Onion and their Onion Sports Network (“OSN”). The half hour program is a dead on parody of ESPN’s SportsCenter with quick, flashy segments infused with The Onion’s own brand of dry wit. Last night’s episode featured a very special human interest story that poked fun at Chris Connelly‘s “My Wish” series. The segment, called “Wish Zone”, featured an 8 year old cancer patient named Allison Pencey who happened to be a huge Phillies fan. She also has a great distaste and contempt for Mets third basemen David Wright. Watch the video after the jump!

COED Presents: The Worst Sportsman of the Year 2010 [VOTE]
Drew Brees was recently awarded Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated. Brees not only won a Super Bowl against Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts last February, but has made significant contributions off the field as well. Of course you tend to not hear about it since our sports news off the field typically focurs on DUIs or domestic abuse, a player’s displeasure with their current team, or better yet, where they are taking their “talents.” Brees is a breath of fresh air and we 100% fully endorse SI’s selection. To ensure we have MORE of him and LESS of the other jackasses, we’re doling out “awards” for the Worst Sportsmen of the Year.

How Bad-Ass Are Army’s Camo Uniforms?
I was watching ESPN Goal Line when they showed a highlight of the Army interception and lateral for a touchdown.
