Football season is nearly upon us again, and that means fans are gearing up to watch the games and get extremely emotional about their favorite teams and their favorite players.
But another issue will start to come up as well as the season gets underway- the overpayment of players, which becomes an even more heated discussion as the economic crisis continues to rage on.
NFL players make so much money they don't even know what to do with it all, so many sink a chunk of their fortune into a fat pad so they can live like sports royalty.
It's both sickening and impressive how much money some players are willing to pay for their dream mansion- Tom Brady paid $20 million for the mansion pictured above, which is truly way too much home.
Richard Sherman of the Seattle Seahawks, on the other hand, paid $2.3 million for this "modest" mansion, which is almost ten times less as Tom and yet still plenty fancy.
Let's just hope our culture is "cyclic" in these regards.
