Quote of the week/month/year goes to New England Patriots cornerback Ty Law, who has announced he no longer wants to play for New England, owing to their refusal to renegotiate his contract This directly from his comments on the situation to the boston globe:
"I can't do a thing about it but express my displeasure about playing for this organization. I'll go to training camp. I've got bonuses for going to training camp. I'm just saying it won't be a comfortable working atmosphere. It's not a reason to hold out. I get $1 million just to show up. Who wouldn't show up for $1 million? The money ain't the thing, because I have that. Then again, I'm not going to sit here and say I don't want $7 million, either. That's stupid. Hell, we all gotta eat."
This might be my favorite quote ever. From now on, when somebody asks me, "would you do XYZ for a million dollars?" i'm going to say "hell, we all gotta eat." I am officially a Ty Law fan, starting right now.
