Does anyone find this as refreshing as I do?

[QUOTE="paulska, post: 557479, member: 557"] If anything, it sounds like Jordy is a person for whom money isn't the most important thing in life. I've read enough about his offseason habits (he'd rather be home working on the farm with his folks and brother or hunting/fishing) to understand this is a man whose priorities look a lot different than many of his peers. It is refreshing to see an athlete with some perspective about their career and their contract/earnings. For all the hate out there for Tom Brady, he's another guy I think has his head on straight about his contract. At various times he's played for significantly less than the top QB remuneration package out there, and I've never seen anything about him holding the team hostage to demands, etc. While he's not a farm boy like Jordy, his family influence on how he handles money shows up in his part ownership of Under Armour and investment in businesses which mean his money will make him money long after he throws his last football. A lot of people don't talk to their kids about money. There's a HUGE pressure for schools to add financial education to the curriculum because so many families either lack understanding about how to steward finances or just think kids will pick it up. Sounds like someone made sure Jordy understood what money is, what you use it for and exactly what it means about you as a person- that's the refreshing part about it to me. [/QUOTE]
