A little back story.
It was my wedding day back in 95. The wife was with her parents at the church a couple hours before. I was at my parents house while they were getting ready and my relatives were getting ready.
My Mom says...You better get ready we gotta get to the church here in a little bit. I had planned on being there early...only one problem. The first or second game of the preseason was on TV. I had missed football from the long offseason. I can not even remember if it was a cowboys game being played but I think it was. Gotta remember this is back in 95 and my memory is fuzzy.
I told my parents I will get ready when the half time starts as some of the starters were still playing.:laugh2:
So half time starts, I get my stuff on and we head out to the church.
Now I still had plenty of time before the wedding started but my wife's parents told me the wife was freaking out because she expected me there an hour earlier:laugh2:
I told her...hey when we first started dating I told you I was a football nut. She understood but with one of those looks like...you got to be kidding me.
Now with that back story in place.
Would I take the money?
I would have to, because as much as I love football, in the end I still have to look out for the wife and I. If I was well off financially it might be different. But family is more important than football no matter how important football is to me.
