Run to Win

A couple of years ago, I wrote about how Tom Brady signed a new contract with the Patriots and extended his terms through 2010. After signing Randy Moss this weekend, it has come out that Tom Brady restructured that contract in order to give the Patriots enough cap room to assume Moss’s former contract from the Raiders before resigning him to a one year deal. Since a lot of people are searching my site for information about Tom Brady’s contract, I thought I would provide what details are currently public.

The Oakland Raiders have made like the Giants and dropped Kerry Collins like a hot potato after starting him for a few years.

I can accept that professional athletes make ungodly sums of money. I am not really sure why, and I do not really care why. It does not bother me that Randy Moss looks at a $10,000 fine in the same way I would look at losing a dollar bill in a hole in my pocket. (His being rude and a jackass does, but that’s a different matter.)

What does bother me are the athlete’s that sign a contract, and then cry when things don’t go their way. Or ones that are so dumb, they would go joyriding or stunt driving on a motorcycle despite there (probably) being wording in their contract against such things. At least he had a helmet on. Oh wait, it wasn’t strapped…

If you sign a contract and are being paid to do something, then you should do it to the best of your abilities. What is required is a decent work ethic, which most athletes seem to have but the news tends to focus on the ones that make fools of themselves.
