I don't get some of this talk about finances either when it comes to professional athletes. Gordon has just fulfilled about a $40M dollar deal, he's very wealthy. He'd be financially OK if his career ended tomorrow, and particularly if he makes just his current rate for the rest of his career. Being old fashioned I guess, loyalty to an organization and a city isn't what it's about when there is more money than you can spend X 10 at stake.
