Pats can't bench or suspend him when he comes back. It's against the cba. It would be in his best interest to play well to get next years offers up.

Yeah, make him drown under that $8 million for 1 year. That'll teach him.NEM said:I hope he does come back and they then throw the franchise tag on the llittle weasel.

At bottom, a player with the mindset you describe does not really want to play. He most certainly is not playing for love of the game.Tunescribe said:Poor baby wants $7-$8 million instead of ONLY $6 million a year. "I want my extra millions for playing a game! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" I really wonder what it's like not living in the real world. How can anyone take this nonsense seriously?
Look, he's one of the best on the planet at what he does. He should get rich from doing it, just like a world-class doctor, businessman, sheppard, etc. also should. But to me the difference between $7-$8 million and $6 million, especially after you net it down after taxes, is all about ego. The true effect on your life is minimal at best.Tunescribe said:Poor baby wants $7-$8 million instead of ONLY $6 million a year. "I want my extra millions for playing a game! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Agreed. How many top receivers would give their eye teeth to play on a team with Brady, and have a chance for a title? WR 's are supposed to have big egos, what better ego boo0st is there than to play with the best QB of his generation?Patjew said:Look, he's one of the best on the planet at what he does.

Or to play on the "Big Stage" of the playoffs/SB?
Does the bit of additiona money make up for the coulda wouldas?
What's more ego soothing: money, or eternal fame?
