OT: 60 Minutes running a feature on soccer phenom Christian Pulisic
- Thread starter royboy
- Start date
He has 4 years of eligibility and could pay his own way, lets see if Franklin can talk him into trying out as our FG kicker!
Was a good show tonight. All three stories were interesting. Enjoyed the Pulisic segment very much.
Agree. I recorded it planning to just watch the Pulisic segment, but got sucked into all three.
Next week, I'd like an investigative segment on who Chris Wondolowski has pictures of to keep getting called up for meaningful games.
The kid will soon make more than top NFL FG kickers! Euro soccer players make crazy bank. He's already at $1.1 million a year at 19. Think about that.

His next contract will likely involve a transfer with a €30-40 million fee and be worth $5-6 million a year.
The 60 minutes piece said that he currently makes 8 million now. Maybe that includes endoresenents or included a signing bonus. Regardless, I was obviously joking...
They said he was making $8 million TWO years ago when he was 17. It was right when they said he flew home on a private jet to go to the prom. They also said his German club was offered $40 million to buy the rights to his contract.
Yeah, that was freakin' awesome. And to see the passion those scientists had, very humbling.
Just think, the Hubble can see as far as 400 million years after the Big Bang. The Webb Telescope is supposed to be another factor of power. Whew.
