That's not the argument and it never was. They can take whatever they can get but Brady made sure the team had options for weapons to win the crown. It has nothing to do with the company or anything else but winning the SB. You can redirect all you want but that's the argument you couldn't understand. Probably still can't.
The argument by Alex specifically is about other positions which is a retarded redirect.Alex , show me the QBs who are dying from CTE at 52. I'll wait. For RBs, and other positions where a dude isn't playing until 40, sure. Where the face of the team doesn't have a lot of options after football...sure. That's not QB though. We're talking QBs. Get your ESPN hot takes in order.
You're right. No QB has ever faced an injury that's put their career in jeopardy and they all play until 40.

Show me any other job where winning the SB is the endgame? I'm not surprised you aren't intelligent enough to understand the salary cap but the money is spent on other players. He's not giving it back to ownership, he's creating space for another elite player. There are other avenues to do this, and I could go into deeper detail if you think you can get there. I'm not sure you can.
They don't owe me anything, that was never mentioned. Talk about interjecting something that was never there. I already said they could do as they please, but Brady showed why he won 6. Do I need to say it in ebonics for you? Send you some links? Let me help you figure out this tough sport.
Alex
, are we talking about the top QBs or not? How many play until 35+ now? Brady- 44, Brees-42, Rivers-39, Big Ben-39, Favre-41, Flutie, etc, etc. Of course, injury is part of the game, but it's particularly set to keep the faces of the franchises standing. Not so much anyone else. Or at least argue the running QBs where your argument is pertinent. Where injury is more likely, and they don't last as long. Damn....

I really think something's wrong with your brain. Businesses only have so much money whether it's because of profit margins or salary caps, none of that changes how math works. The less a company pays an employee, the more money they can spend elsewhere. What part of this is too difficult for you?
You also thinking a player's endgame is a super bowl over providing for their family is one of the most retarded takes I've ever heard. It's the "team's" goal, but that same team has no loyalty to the player and would cut them the second it's in their best interest, so why should the player sacrifice what's best for them and their family for the team?
You really do sound like someone who believes all the idiotic sports cliches you hear ESPN talking heads spouting constantly

I take offense to the usage of zombiehawk take, my takes are brilliant 99.99% of the time.
Anyways in this case i'm with you all, it's stupid to say someone can't be "set for life" if they give up a couple million of their hundreds of millions. I don't blame players for going for maximum money but saying "lol you can't get by in life if you don't get the biggest contract ever when you're up unless you're married to someone else who makes hundreds of millions" is full retard. It's also kind of funny how many athletes try to act like they love the game and competition and winning/being the best so much while their actions say they just love money and maybe attention.

It would be interesting to see an alternate universe where Brady just bargained hard for the most money he could get and if it would have cost him any superbowls and if that would have resulted in his long-term total income going up or down. I'm sure besides the salary each SB win contributes to the fee he gets for endorsements and probably was a factor in his giant deal with Fox Sports. Maybe he's just as greedy as everyone else, he was just playing the long game. In any case, I think he got paid quite well during his playing days and didn't start taking less until he was already set for life.

So would everyone else but I wonder if you could actually tell the difference. $250M invested at 5% will net you over a million a month just in interest. That means you're spending like $35K a day without touching the principle or even having any risky investments. Unless you are hot to get into a contest with Jeff Bezos for who has the most ridiculous super yacht it's hard to imagine what you would do with more than that to actually improve your life.

I'm actually taking the night of the Chargers-Jets MNF game off so a friend and I can drink ourselves to death while we watch both teams compete to see who can lose in the most embarrassing fashion.

Not going to lie, I hope they find a spectacular way this week.

It'll be the loss to cost the road to the Super Bowl going through KC. See you in Cincinnati.
