If I were a free agent and New York offered me $100 million and some smaller market team offered me $20 million, I'd take the lower offer. I'd rather die than live in New York and I could live very well on $20 million, even though it is a lot less. Some players are the same way. Many are motivated by playing for a winner and as poorly as this team is run, we probably aren't going to the playoffs anytime soon.

Uh huh. It's easy to say you'd turn down 80 million dollars when the offer is never going to happen. Stare that check in the face and then get back to me.

God's honest truth, I don't see much difference between $20 million and $100 million. Both amounts are more than I could spend in a lifetime. I'm a simple guy. I have simple taste. I have no use for fancy things. I have no desire to own a mansion or a fancy sports car. I just want enough money to go on fishing and hunting trips, a nice 4 wheel drive pickup, a nice ranch style home on wooded acreage (which I have now) and a custom built fishing lake/pond. I could buy all that and still have plenty left over to take care of my family and give some to charity with the $20 million. That way I wouldn't have to live in a giant city where I don't wanna be, doing things like fighting traffic, seeing nothing but concrete and skyscrapers and being around people 24/7. That is my nightmare.
