Is Proper 12 any good or is just the marketing angle?

If he buys you a shot, take it. Or he will punch you.

It's surprisingly good. Go into it with an open mind. Think it's smoother than Jameson's, especially served on the rocks.

Since 2010, Federer has made $840M. Can't see what was before that, but he started winning majors in 2003, so i'd imagine he's got to have crossed the billion dollar mark by now. Remarkable what he's accomplished.

Federer making more than Lewis Hamilton blows my damned mind almost as much as Dak making more than Lebron

McGregor’s documentary on Netflix, “Notorious”, is incredible. 7 years ago, he and his girl were living with his mother on welfare.

A lot of privilege and oppression in that list.

Connor comes off as a real hustler. Congrats to him.

Dak Prescotts agent deserves a lot of kudos!

TheRouxGuru•35 months

Yea no shite. Dak is a mediocre QB

3nOut•35 months

i'm a cowboys fan and like Dak a lot, but that's a ridiculous amount for a just-decent QB

That's a lot of endorsement money, though. Dak has charisma and charm that, say, Tom Brady doesn't. So, their "non-football" income are going to diverge because of that.
