Try putting yourselves in Ty Law's position for a moment. He's 32--he has a year or two, maybe three to finish building a nest egg for himself and his family. His profession is playing football. He may like the game as well--I trust he does. He may like the idea of being a Patriot. I hope he does.
Calling him a whore is ridiculous. By that measure, we're all whores. We play for pay. Playing professional football is not an act of generosity, nor is it based on the irresistible urge to be out on the field, playing games and risking your body in the process.
