Too often have I been on the wrong side in markets where prices are skewed. I'd take the 10 and be backup.

I'm greedy. I'm crass. I'm lazy. I'm averse to physical injury.

And I'd rather be richer.

Not even a hard decision.

Uh oh Wade. Yet another thing we agree on.

Who are you to say who doesn't have or have talent? Hell, you might be more talented at QB than 5 players in the NFL, but never had the opportunity or passion to give it a go.

To answer your question, no, because I have passion, desire, diligence to be better. And I also have the intelligence and experience to know it takes MORE than talent to be a good player in the NFL.

Do you think I'd care about getting killed?

I would love to ramble here with stories of me getting my ass kicked while I played against high schoolers when in middle school or when in high school was playing against college athletes/grown men, but you'd chime in with 'thats not the NFL' and completely miss the point. Pain means nothing to me. Getting up after a hit that makes everyone cringe, means much more.

Do you think I'd care about what people said about me during or after I was fulfilling my dream? Child, please.



The worst in the history books? If any person here played QB at all, then hopped into the NFL, I struggle believing we'd be worst than TJ Rubley or many others.





Bottom line ...
FACT: You need more than talent to be better than the worst in the NFL. Talent means squat if you don't have passion and desire, don't believe that, talk to JaMarcus Russell.

even matt millen wouldn't be stupid enough to pay me more than 2 bucks for being a football player.

Speaking subjunctively though, I take the 10 millions as a backup any day of the week. My lung isn't built to move around more than 1 minute, let alone 60. That said, i would even take 5 millions as a backup over 10 millions as a starter. even with 5 millions you can date gorgous women :downtown:

:)

Another reason:
starter: ice bath alone on monday morning, tuesday morning, etc.
backup: hot tub accompanied on monday night, tuesday night, etc.

---

Neither.. I would rather be that defensive player knocking either one of their heads off. ;)

Seriously though, why even be in the game if you are okay with being that "clipboard" guy.. simply put... get the hell off my field.

---

hey....we didn't say we'd require 10 million to hold the clipboard.....just said we'd take it if you offered. 🙂

---

Yep, $5 million is plenty for my life and my daughters lives to be set comfortably. PLUS, I get to live a dream of mine?

The extra $5 million isn't worth missing out on that opportunity. Money does not buy happiness, I don't care what anyone says.

---

I wonder if one could buy a bungalow in Tahiti for the extra 5 million. *That's* one of my dreams.

Getting knocked all over the field by a bunch of guys in Spandex? er. no.

---

Exactly. Pack93z and Zero can beat each other up for 16 games a season for all I care and see who is the more manly man. Then they can hold ice packs for each other for the next two or three days.

Meanwhile, I'll take that extra $5 million and be unmanly in the hot tub with two or three hot topless babes. "So, sweetheart, tell me what do you REALLY want out of life?"

I imagine Wade has dibs on Jessica Biel. Good choice. I'll take Maria Sharapova as NSD doesn't want her. "Sweetheart, I can appreciate how you feel about being unwanted. Come here and let ZS rub your back."

Those meatheads have their priorities out of whack.
