Mo' Money Mo' Money

What is it about our sports culture that is all about money. You read about A-Rod's 25 plus million a year. Big Ben just signed a 100 plus million dollar contracts. If there is one thing about the athletes in pro sports it's that they love money. I'm not arguing against money cause I love it too; I just don't see the difference from 5 million to 7 million. What ever happened to team? The New England Patriots have already lost a receiver and a DB with more players expected to leave to free agency. A team that went 18-1, a team that was being compared with the greats, a team that was nearly perfect is now losing all its players to big contracts. But this is what free agency and the salary cap is all about isn't it? Well as a person who longs for the days of T-E-A-M...I hope not.
