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.

What a ridiculous thing to say.  You'd give up $80 million?  Even if those two New York teams actually played in New York, which they don't, for an extra $80 million you could live in Connecticut and commute to New York on a helicopter.

If you've ever been around people who were born and raised in rural areas like myself, many of us are of a different mindset. We live in sparsely populated areas for a reason. I like peace, quite and privacy. You can't buy that kind of happiness. Besides, I don't see that much of a difference between $100 million and $20 million. Both amounts are more money than I could ever spend. I don't want or need fancy things. They just draw unwanted attention. If I'm not gonna spend it, it'll just sit in the bank and what good is that? I'd rather have less money and be happy, than a ton of money I won't use and be miserable. 

As far as a helicopter commute, no way! I am deathly afraid of heights and just look what happened to Kobe Bryant. You couldn't pay me enough to get into a helicopter once, much less use one for a daily commute and I'm not driving a car in all of that traffic. No way. I'd lose my mind.

What a terrible time for this Urban Meyer scandal to erupt. Here are two really good free agents out there at positions of real need (Smith and Gilmore) and we are currently the laughing stock of the league, because of the antics of our head coach. Neither guy is gonna come here and be part of this chaos.
