As frustrated as I get with the playoff losses, I imagine 12-4 and a playoff L is a little easier to stomach than having to face the media 12-13 times after a loss every year. That stuff really seems to wear out players and coaches mentally.
You and I seem to agree that money trumps all though, for these players. I don't think MLJ would hesitate to join the Browns for 1-2 extra mil.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
