I figure if he's worth 20 million the person at the McDonalds drive through window and gets your order right the first time ought to be worth at least 15 bucks an hour and they're probably going to work more than 16 days a year.. if they wash their hands they're protecting YOU from untold nastiness.. 

So you don't think football players should be paid as much as baseball players it sounds. I do know that 70 thousand people don't buy tickets to see the guy and McDonalds flip burgers and it isn't covered on National TV.  ...I'll repeat that they probably Franchise Tag Whitworth for the going tag price of around 14 mil for an O Lineman that is franchise tagged.  Of course Mike Brown once came on the radio and declared, " Why should I pay an old offensive lineman". He said this as he let Max Montoya go free agent. Max went to Oakland and was in the Pro Bowl several more years. Meanwhile the combo of Munoz retiring and Montoya leaving left us with no line getting Klingler and Ki-Jana Carter killed and those awful, awful season in the 1990's.  So Mike Brown may very well agree with you on not paying Whitworth or Zeitler after not paying Andre Smith, which will leave paying AJ Green and Andy Dalton pointless since Defenses will knock Dalton out for the season and there will be no blocking time for Green to ever get the ball thrown to him all season. Mike Brown would probably pay his players McDonalds wages if he could, even if it meant 20 years without ever winning a single game.
