Suppose you suddenly had the abilities of a Randy Moss or Tom Brady, and were promoted to starter on the Cowboys (or any other team). Since you have not been steeped in NFL culture, would you behave differently than most players, and if so, how?
Would you be willing to accept a much lower pay than others (for the sake of maximizing salary cap space?)
Would you showboat and dance a lot less than the other players (or, maybe, celebrate even more?)
Would you maintain a much lower public profile, buy much less gaudy stuff?
Would you call out the sports media on their BS, much more aggressively than others?
Would you be willing to accept a much lower pay than others (for the sake of maximizing salary cap space?) probably yes, not real low but
significantly lower, for example as qb, I would take 25 mil a year, if owner would let me have a say in how the extra 10 mil was spent.
I might even go lower if I thought the team had a real chance at a SB if we got 1 or 2 particular players.
Would you showboat and dance a lot less than the other players (or, maybe, celebrate even more?).....yes for sure
Would you maintain a much lower public profile, buy much less gaudy stuff?.....yes for sure
Would you call out the sports media on their BS, much more aggressively than others?...... I might if allowed, that might be against team rules.
