Sportico released its highest-paid athletes list this week, with Cristiano Ronaldo topping the ranking for the second straight year. Perhaps more notable than who made the list, though, was the dollar figures next to those names.

He had a host of loving friends whom he didn’t know and who didn’t know him. ​I’m somewhere in the middle, which is why I’m writing this. It’ll be short, not only because this could probably go on, page after page, with positive things to say about Greg, but also because tapping the correct keys isn’t easy right now.
