I think by now everyone knows that Brett Favre signed with the Vikings after saying he was going to retire...again. He just signed a two year deal worth a reported 25 million.
25 million....
He has effectively hamstrung his team's salary cap for the next two years. Do you really want to make it so you can't sign any other players to help you? Do you really want to win Brett?
I remember the NBA's Wayman Tisdale and Danny Manning taking lesser contracts to go to Phoenix to win a championship. When will athletes wise up and realize that winning a championship is much more important than the difference between 20 and 25 million dollars?
I hope professional athletes will realize that saying you were a champion is much more important than saying that you got the largest contract ever. Money can go away but championships are forever....
The future of sports is sacrifice to win championships. Respect is not in the size of the contract but in winning.
