NFL conference championship Sunday

[MileHigh]

Hoping for Bengals-49ers, but I think we'll get Bengals-Eagles.

 

[da man]

I want Chad freakin' Henne to pull a Foles and lead KC to win the whole damm thing.

Not championship-related, but I saw today Rodgers can earn $58 million if he plays next year. How in the heck can anyone ever turn that kind of money down? $58 freaking million for 17 games. You should be thrown in jail for not playing.

Well, he took ayahuasca, so money is just a concern for earthlings, not his insufferable ass.

That'll buy a lot of intermictin.

because he's already made $305 million not counting endorsements?

Yeah but, $58 million. I don't think I could turn it down.

Yeah but, $58 million. I don't think I could turn it down.

but after taxes......so is it really worth it then?

 

[mateen]

If Rogers is in a position to need, or even really notice, that salary for next year, he's got problems.


Considering that (a) after taxes/agent fees/etc. it would be considerably less than $58 million, (b) he would be putting himself at a non-zero risk of debilitating injury or decreased quality of the rest of his life every time he steps on the field, and (c) from a distance he appears to be a legitimately weird and unhappy person, it would be easy for me to see him turning it down.

 

[micropolitan guy]

but after taxes......so is it really worth it then?

Yeah, $40 million or so would be worth it to me.

 

[MileHigh]

John Hussey (NFC) and Ron Torbert (AFC) are Sunday's white hats. Torbert worked last year's Super Bowl.

 

[Della9250]

Yeah, $40 million or so would be worth it to me.

You're about $10 million or so above what his take home will be
