Newsmeat (a site about which I know nothing) has assembled quite an impressive list of the political donations of sports figures. Some highlights:

On the left - Chris Berman, Lee Corso, Franco Harris, Digger Phelps, the Rooneys, Zygi Wilf, and David "Moneybags" Stern (for whom, I must admit, I now have more respect than I ever had before.)

On the right - Alex Rodriguez, the surprisingly-spendthrift Bernie Kosar, all thirteen of the NASCAR folks listed, Nolan Ryan, Peyton Manning, Marge Schott, and, sad to say, Joe Paterno.
