I'm all for players making money but it's always seemed curious to me that a player would take the most money when all the money is so large. I know the Players' Association makes them feel they owe this to the other players. However, how hard must it be to take the punishments and injuries when you know your team's going nowhere. I feel for CC who's played hard in slim times and helped build the Cards into a winner. Then he goes back to the bottom. I've got to believe it won't take too many games before he realizes how long the season can be. I just hope he stays healthy. This is the ugly part of the cap.
