I don't know. I have the impression that he chose Indy over Philly not because of a few Bucks ~ Philly reportedly had a pretty sweet Offer on the table, as well ~ but because Coach Kelly's turbulent personnel moves and the consequent state of transition in Philly scared the Hell out'f'm.
Gore's a little too public with his thoughts for my taste ~ Coach Bill the Mad (Genius) and I see pretty much eye to eye in that regard ~ but he's been a phenomenal FootBall Player: A PowerBack with tremendous Agility, an excellent Receiver, and an awesome Blocker. And tough as Nails.
Mind you: I thought the Colts were foolish to drop $4,000,000 a Year on an HalfBack who was going to be 32 before he ever played a Down for'm...but he's been holding up all right. So far.
The Colts still haven't learned that Championships are won in the Trenches.
And for that, I am grateful.
