I will never fault any athlete (especially football players) for trying to get as much money from their team as they possibly can. Now, I can say your demands are unreasonable compared to market value, and I can say that I wouldn't pay the guy that money if I were GM, but I will never find fault with somebody whose goal is to get as much money as they possibly can.
I'm just looking for consistency. Tamba signed a nasty contract for this team to handle. Fine. Good on him. He got a lot more money. He wasn't worth that contract, but he got it anyway.
My problem is him saying, "It's about the sacrifice and love of the game... yadda yadda."
