CHICKILLO can afford FILET !!
Carlos Hyde has a chance to make $3-4 Million this year. Nice! Mind boggling that Lionel Messi makes that in one week!
Speaking of Messi- I wonder if an American footballer will ever win the Ballon D’or? You’d probably get better odds on that bet than the 5000-to-1 bet at the start of Leicester City’s 2015 Premier League winning season!
