papasmurfbell Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 The cash is still just as green. That is what he went for. Quote
vmax Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Too bad this didn't happen before he left. Then again, somebody else would have over paid.He left a great organization and is chaos now. You need pride in where you work to get into it day after day. Quote
yagersports Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Everyone thinks that the player is happy because they have money. Yeah, for a couple of years. The bankruptcy rate for professional athletes is astronomical. You never play for the money, you let your play work that out. If you're lucky enough, you choose your destination that makes you happy. NOT the destination that makes you the most money. The money is the plus for happiness, it's not the source of happiness. You think more people would know this. Quote

That is how it should be but really in this day and age players by and large are whores. They only do it for the money. VEry few give a discount. Quote

VEry few give a discount. he went to the saints... Drew Brees as QB a super bowl a few years ago and a great year last year. I don't think that was being a whore. had he gone to Miami for a bigger check, or the Raiders.. Id' agree. but he went to what he thought was going to be a solid franchise. Quote

Come on now, this has been whirling in the wind since November. He had to have some inside knowledge that there were going to be suspensions forthcoming. Wait til they get to the player suspension part. Quote
