Re: AK QUOTE OF THE DAY…
 
When a kid puts on his first helmet he dreams of playing in the NFL, when he commits to a college he dreams of making NFL money, when he gets into the NFL and he finally realizes that neither the NFL or the NFL money will last as long as he would like he focuses on the only thing he can change... The money.


We are deluded to believe that when they take the field, money is in the top two reasons.

Alvin's net worth is 10 million at the age of 29. If he lives to be 70 that's $243,902/year. Factor in inflation and the raising cost of living and that's not very much at all.

It is a business and for the players it is the business of their families future. I do not fault them for getting all that they can.... Everybody else is.

We would be deluded (those of us in the real world) to think that someone worth $10 mil at age 29 is going to struggle for the rest of his life to secure their families’ future… while we (some of us) break our a$$ all week for a fraction of what AK makes, to secure our families’ future. When I factor in inflation, I have to work harder. When he factors in inflation, he has to demand or expect more money, while running softer. We would be deluded to think that that mindset is going to factor into a more enjoyable football experience for us on the weekends.

He ain't afraid to spend money or make money. It's losing money that gets to him. Sounds like a normal person to me.

Except he’s not a normal person. He’s getting paid big money already, to PLAY FOOTBALL IN BEAST-MODE. Watch film of him from last season… DON’T Focus on Carmichael, because that excuse only goes so far. Watch our boy closely, and tell me if he’s still got fire. Be honest about it. While you’re at it, watch “high”lights of our multi million dollar QB…. More fizzle than sizzle.

Ever heard of Deuce McAllister? Retired at 34 after making +/- 70MMin the NFL.

Today at 45 years old he’s with around 150k at best. That is the REAL world whether you like it or not.

Some of these players come from families that never saw 6 figure income before them and won’t see it after. They are the only shot at generations not needing a scholarship for an education. You might be angry about them getting what they can when they can but I’m not. :bng:

Looks like you’re more of a fan of celebrity financial independence, and less of a fan of BEAST MODE FOOTBALL. We’re different, but if that’s the prevailing trend, game has indeed changed.
