Marry a supermodel? Check. Develop your own $250 cookbook? Check. End up on the cover of the EA Sports ‘Madden’ video game? No check!

So this list isn’t easy. When we compiled the most underpaid athletes in Cleveland, it wasn’t hard to get a list of 10 together. The intent was to get to 10 for this list of the most overpaid athletes as well. Who’s going to pass up a chance to tell a millionaire he’s not earning his keep? But it couldn’t be done. This list isn’t 10 players long. And as…
