 No one is perfect. And at the end of the day, what are two things that talk? The answer: Money and power.

Although golfer Tiger Woods image is tarnished…he still lands on top.

For the seventh year in a row. SI.com has created a top 50 earning list of American athletes. Based on salary, winnings, endorsements and appearance fees…Woods still excels. The average earning of players on the list is the highest it has ever been ( and we are in a recession). The average earning is $26.2 million. This is an 11 percent increase from 2009! Woods was down more than $9 million from a year ago. He still made $30 million more than Number two athlete golfer Phil Mickelson.

Besides golfer standing above the curve, 16 basketball players, 13 major leaguers, three NASCAR drivers, and one boxer made the cut.

If money does not talk, I do not know what does?
One point lost for team Golden Vagina.
