I agree. He can just make the difference up in endorsements anyway. That's the point Milloy misses altogether. History lasts forever, but paychecks (no matter how large) are gone in the blink of an eye.
Brady, Bruschi et all will make more money off the field over the next five years than they'll make from their salaries. Then there's announcing gigs after they retire, etc.
Bruschi is set for life in a sports-crazy town like Boston. That's a hell of a lot more attractive than a few million more in salary and a largely anonomous career in some other town.
In a few years, it'll be "Lawyer who???" anyway.
