Small in its case of judging character.
So...the NFL should have sat down with each of the previous MVPs and said, we think each of you is worth such, then such, then such, then such, and caused so many hurt feelings because so and so is worth only that much, and I am only worth this?
Ridiculous to the extreme!
Maybe an article will be done by someone who investigates how the whole thing came off.
I believe it is safe to assume that all the others said, wow...another day on the field in front of the stadium full of fans and 1 Billion people around the world on TV...I am coming for it. Send me the tickets (I'll bring my bride, my son, my daughter, or someone).
Joe and Terry say, no I need more $.
That is SMALL in character, not capitalistic...and they both will pay for it for the rest of their lives among their peers on the golf course, lost invitations to parties/celebrity golf tournaments, in their interviews and work as analysts, etc. etc. etc. Joe's stock went down the lowest.
Dickie V would say STOCK DOWN BABY!!!
they dont gice a rats@*S! their already in the hall of fame! Show me the money NFL your making enough. All the guys should have gotten 100,000.
Joe and Terry say, no I need more $.
So, looking at this from the other side. We can equally safely assume that Joe and Terry said, "No thanks guys I have a life and it's more important than the superbowl. Pay me worth my time or don't. Your choice.", and the rest of them were just attention junkies "Look at me. Look at me. I'm a Superbowl MVP. (But I have nothing else important to do so I came here to be a media whore)"
You get in trouble when you start assumming things.
