And most of the money is not garaunteed. You get hurt or a step slower **** you’re gone. 3.3 years, that’s the AVERAGE, the lower half of the player pool turns over at an even faster rate.  The owners, networks, etc. are making huge money on football so why shouldn’t the 2000 BEST people in the world at what they do? You’re fixated on a relatively few players who get big garaunteed money. The Packers didn’t give Bahk big money as a reward or because he’s a nice guy. They did it because if they didn’t, somebody else would, and he’d be gone unless they ponied up even more. Bahk blows up his knee a couple weeks before he signs his mega deal instead of a couple weeks after … he kisses probably $75M goodbye.</p></blockquote><p></p>
