I get what you're saying and see how the topic spun out. I can also agree to disagree based upon this. I just don't think players are that much different now. The difference is our access to their lives has never been greater. Some choose to play it close to the best, while other choose to show off a little. I don't think it's right to based an argument on someone's love for the game based on their social media posts. These guys are literally sacrificing their bodies and future well being out there so we as fans have something to root for or watch. Maybe they're doing it for the money, but they're still the ones making that sacrifice.

Living up to what Bennett's rant was about - players being all about money and contracts, and not about winning/legacy.

I get it, football is just a job to most players; but it's sad to me that fans now care about team success more than actual members of that team.

It's good Lawrence got paid. He has more money than I'll make in my lifetime.

Some will disagree with me (the usual suspects who I should block just to avoid their annoyances), I expect it. That's cool. But I miss the players like Aikman, Irvin, Romo, etc who would sacrifice anything for the joy and glory of winning a Super Bowl.

Sometimes I wish I could stop caring about the Dallas Cowboys!

Players not being as passionate about winning as the fan base who cheer for them is not unique to Lawrence, the Cowboys or the NFL.

That's just how it is today.

It's strange. I was walking my boys this morning and across the street was a Lambo/Ferrari/Whatever just like that. Color and everything.
But my neighbors have grass on their yards.

I was wondering where this car came from and why was it there.
It was in front of a single woman's house who happens to be excruciatingly gorgeous, but I have no idea what she does.


She generally drives a Tesla.

I’ll be perfectly honest here. If I had his money I’d be driving one too...or at least a Ferrari.

I see what you're saying, but the reality is that most wealthy men (in any profession) buy nice cars.

No sense in getting bent out of shape about it.

In what way did any of these players you named sacrifice anything? Aikman, Irvin, Romo..

IIRC, both Aikman and Irvin got paid max salaries during their era and Irvin was and still is known for flashy attire.

I think Romo made almost 200m with the Cowboys. He sacrificed some of his health, but not much else.

As for Tank...he got a nice toy. It's almost Christmas. Why not treat himself?

But they shouldn't use their platform to advertise/brag about it. BTW, one doesn't have to be wealthy men in any profession to have to have a nice car either.
