Hoo Hoo, Robin. I Invented Getting Paid!

His show is garbage, his best days are behind him, he got a small fraction of his fans to follow him, but boy did he sign one HELL of a deal.

<strong><em><font size="3">Theres a live poll there you can vote if he's over paid or not....VOTE PEOPLE</font></em></strong>

[Crippler]

Credit where credit is due...he may be a douche, but he's apparently one helluva businessman.

actually, in every print ad that I've seen for Sirius radios, his fist icon is usually second - right next to the NFL logo which is first. His show isn't what it used to be, but the roasts have been fanfuckingtastic - and regardless of whether or not you care for him, he knows how to make $$.

Howard Stern isn't so bad. I'm glad he listened to the players and decided to bring the old ball back. That new one looked like something from the playground.

[Dan 'Hampton]

83 million?&nbsp; so thats 20.7 million shares?

[Team_Ramrod]

All I can say is Good for him. Really, I can't EVER blame a person for getting paid...No matter who it is.

[pennington]

<p>The stock price is way down, debt keeps mounting with no end in sight and they give Stern even more money.</p><p>Why would anyone buy stock&nbsp;in this company? No wonder Sirius keeps floating the rumor about a merger with XM.</p>

[Zorro]

<font size="2">At least he'll have college money for his baby with Anna Nicole</font>

[ralphbxny]

Damn!! I cant imagine he is worth all that.

[Judge Smails]

<p><strong>Sirius Satellite Radio Inc. paid Howard Stern an $83 million stock bonus Tuesday</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Wow!&nbsp; That should buy a lot of baby clothes.</p><p><img src="http://images.ctv.ca/archives/CTVNews/img2/20061102/160_ap_an_smith_061102.jpg" border="0" width="160" height="120" /></p>

[Johnny4]

A love it when people say a fraction of his audience followed. When he lft he had 12 million listeners. Sirius has 6 million subs, putting his listenership between 3-4 million. In a year! Siruis doesn't kiss his feet every day and try to EXTEND his contract because they didn't think he was worth the money.One third does not equal a small fraction when it comes to PAID subsriptions. Stop listening to the O and A spin. IF you haven't figured it out about them yet, they are full of it and their slip is showin.
