o the Saints offered me 2.7 million and I can win a championship with them. I don't know if I want to play for them though because they were mean to me for 15 minutes before I was in the league.

If this is the players mindset, he won't make it in the NFL

I'm saying the difference in some circumstances could millions more.

For example, N Ashmouga(sp) said last year that the Raiders weren't building a team that he thought could compete and that he wanted to leave when he became a free agent. Al Davis threw crazy money at him, a bigger contract than any previous CB had ever received. And what did he do? Leave to find a better organization? No, he signed on the dotted line and took all that money. No way he gets that guaranteed money any where else.

it has nothing to do with "being mean" it's just unprofessional. And nobody is claiming that would be a decisive fact in anyone signing, but it initially might give the team a bad first impression.

I've taken a few. I'm not trying to match wits with a nitwit and go through my ACT scores and post college certification.

It's always about the money. Remember that about professional athletes.

clearly there were no other factor such as his family being in oakland, him liking it there, having a rapport with his coach, etc.

clearly, the only factor was the money according to the great example of Texas Tiger, who no doubt has never even taken the ACT or SAT

Seriously? Dude is young. They didn't even know if the coach was coming back.

Actually, for most people, it is. I work for money. You don't work for money?
I've worked plenty of shitty jobs for the simple fact that I had bills to pay.
You think pro-athletes sacrifice their bodies, risk serious permanent injury and possibly death on a daily basis and its not about the money?

so you would go clean the shitters after LSU homegames full time if it meant a $1,000 payraise, right?

It's MOSTLY about the money = correct

It's ALL about the money = incorrect

if giving a tough 15 minute interview costs us a free agent 5 years down the road i'll be shocked. The benefits could be much greater though if it shows us mental toughness. If it costs us 5 years from now, that probably means that we've played good football for 5 years and our coaching staff is still in place.

Every point you have made has been dumb
