Johnny, I understand that money isn't the end all be all of existance, but everyone here admits it's quite a luxury to have. These guys are bartering for their families future with money, sure they have money, but if they get more there's a better chance to invest it correctly. These guys work all year basicly straight through. Sure, they get vacations now and then, and they love what they do, but that doesn't make it any less grueling! Not to mention, it only takes 1 play for you to never see the field again. You better get the money when you have a chance.
Hell, look at our own Dexter Manly. A college degree for football players means nothing. He went through (or at least part) of college and couldn't even read. They learn football, nothing else.

Yea from what I have come up with on a couple of show's is that the guy is a pretty decent guy and a real team player, and belichik I guess stuck his foot in his mouth man to man with law and now they are back tracking, apparently belichik didn't believe law was capable of playing corner as well as he did down the stretch, but they don't want to pay him as such, from what I have heard he also went to management 2 year's ago offering to restructure to make sure the team was able to keep brady, he sound's like a real stand up guy and a winner, I stand corrected on this one I didn't know new england was asking him to take a pay cut, as well as some of the other particular's, my bad! I hope he win's out now!
