There may be other answers or positions from sports that paid a heck of a lot more, but Reggie Bush comes to mind. Joke of a running back, slot receiver and punt returner at best. MAYBE a backup situational running back.

jon koncak Koncak is perhaps best remembered for the six-year, US$ 13 million contract he received from the Hawks in 1989 - an unprecedented total for a reserve. The deal was roundly criticized since it paid Koncak more than Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.

Pavano was listed at 10 million (per year) in '07.
Good call.

Pavano, Giambi, Damon, Igawa...trying to think of other Yanks who make more than they are worth.
Remember Hideki Irabu?

Allen Iverson...yes, he can score (shooting a little over 40% with a ton of shots every game), he is quick, can steal the ball, etc. But he has never made any of his teammates better.

I agreed with the Vick pick even before his conviction. People actually referred to him as a "mega-star"...what a joke!!
