Cam Newton, Peyton Manning top NFL players on ESPN World Fame 100 (Tom Brady not even in top 50) LOL

[HammerDown]

Complete list here: Who's the most famous athlete in the world?

LOL @ Tom Brady Motherfucker cheats and still can't get famous.

 

[megalodon30]

What in the... where's Tebow!?

 

[Sharkonabicycle]

Eh Worldwide, whatever.

Most of the early list will be dominated by more global sports like basketball, soccer/European football, even golf has a more global presence whereas NFL is only North America and CFL... I couldn't even name an active player.

MLB is no surprise. Outside of Central America and Japan, really has no presence elsewhere (Asia is HUGE cricket).

NFL while not much global presence has by far the biggest America following and has breached a little into Europe.

Makes sense when you see a list like this why Goodell is trying to push globally so much. Really the US Market is about maxed out for the NFL. Only way to truly expand big time would be globally.

More importantly what's up with that gay little top knot thing on Gareth Bale....

 

[megalodon30]

Gareth Bale....

Is that Christian Bale's brother or something? I don't know who half the people on the list are.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Is that Christian Bale's brother or something? I don't know who half the people on the list are.

I think he's a Welshman but he plays for Real Madrid.

Most of the real famous guys are soccer players.

Most of the real famous guys are soccer players.

Isn't Christian Bale Welsh? Maybe they are brothers.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Isn't Christian Bale Welsh? Maybe they are brothers.

Both Welsh but probably not related..

Good lord. How could they misspell Joe Flacco so badly?

 

[Scooby-Doo]

Carmello ahead of Curry. Now that's some funny shit

 

[Money]

Carmello ahead of Curry. Now that's some funny shit

Not surprising. Also not for much longer.

 

[SoCalWizFan]

Isn't Christian Bale Welsh? Maybe they are brothers.

More likely Bale & golfer Billy Horshel are brothers or at least related.

 

[Scooby-Doo]

Not surprising. Also not for much longer.

Not surprising, just funny. Dude has been irrelevant for years.

Good list but I would rank Benny higher than 93 and flipflop Tebow with Rodgers, pretty spot on

Done. Thanks for the suggestions.

 

[sonnyblack65]
