Being great at anything gets a person some sweet percs (perquisites). They get free demos from dealerships too and probably a crapload of free stuff elsewhere. Obviously they can afford it but companies want people to see their products being used/consumed by famous and popular people. We’d all like to be in their position, but alas, we suck again! \*\*And it’s not just about performance. His jersey was one of the most popular ones in the NFL for a while. Even hatred helps to keep someone popular. That’s just life. ---

It’s capitalism at it’s most vulgar (at least, as vulgar as it can be in America these days… little kids aren’t dying in coal mines and what not anymore). If we all weren’t willing to pay so much for NLF merchandise, NFL television stations, NFL tickets, ect, players like Ben wouldn’t be bringing in millions of dollars…but, we ARE willing to pay. If you have a problem with it, don’t give them your money. Or vote for a socialist. ---

whatever, im not gonna switch the topic, i’m just saying i agree they should be highly paid but its to the point where they are making so much money that a person couldnt spent anywhere close to that money, even if they tried. and the fact that they are making that much money and 90% of the regular ppl are lucky to even afford to go to the games, let alone spend $5 for a pop that normally costs $.85 and food costing way more than it should etc. you get the point. but back to the original topic, relative to what players at his level are making, the deal puts him right where he should be. ---

I agree with you totally but… people do pay it. It’s supply and demand. If people pay and say thank you sir can I have another. They will jack the price untill it equals out. That stadium is packed every game and I own 3 Jerseys myself! I paid a fortune to see one game this year and my nose bled from the altitude… The sad part is I will probally do it again next year! That’s the problem and that’s why the high pay. We dish it out to them and they take it. No one holds a gun to your head and makes you pay $10 for a beer… The league was low paying in the 60’s and 70’s before it was so damn popular! Keep that in mind…That proves we created the beast not them. ---

Back to the subject… I think it’s fair all things considered and he has proven his value. I only fear the cap issues. We need a O line and very little money to spend on one. ---
