I know that there is nobody here that would turn down 5 mil/year at any place on the planet to play for 3 in NO.

Some people are just talking through their heart and not letting their brain intervene, IMO.

Well put.

As far as Sharper not feeling the love, the bottom line is he doesn't really want the love, he wants the payday.

agreed with the latter...but to the statement that 3 to 5 anywhere on the planet...BS, location is #1 for me. job's a job, but you gotta be happy where you go home at night. (nfl players can probably fly anywhere, but my point stands).

but you gotta be happy where you go home at night.

And I'm calling BS on you...it's easy to say that you would turn down an extra 2 million when it's not really an alternative.

It's only 1 year. I could put up with anything for 1 year for an extra 2 million.

Hell...I find myself in WV today for an extra 45K. I don't like it here...and I will most definitely be leaving soon as my contract is up in 1 more month...but I came here for the extra 45K. That's $1,999,955.00 less than the 2 mil I was referring to.

I still don't think you've really thought it out...but, jmo.

Edit--Oh yeah...one other thing.


This statement is true...but have you thought about the possibility of someone being extremely unhappy every night he goes home thinking about the 2 million he left on the street?

your math is wrong too,

more reverted BS calls...3 mill or 5 mil...what's the difference, really? a 5000sqft house vs a 10k sqft house? come on. the difference is more understandable at a middle class level, but at his level, it's about the team and the locale IMO. your math is wrong too, btw :P
