There are plenty of dubious pronouncements that athletes often try to foist upon the media. None may be more laughable, however, than a free agent telling the press with a straight face that, "It's not about the money" when weighing his options.
Even the greenest sports writers know better than to buy a tired sports cliche that - outside of a few notable exceptions - is complete garbage.
As former Houston Astros star Jeff Bagwell once told Steve Rushin of Sports Illustrated, "Whenever a guy says, 'It's not about the money', the one thing we know for sure is, it's about the money."
This blog will certainly be about the money, but it will also delve into so much more. It'll use statistics and analyze numbers, give props to creativity and innovation in sports marketing, and try to raise important questions regarding current and potential future issues in sports business.
