Subj: Cash money
Neon Deion, you know I love you like all cornerbacks trying to get paid do. But I told you I didn't need to be flashy to live large. Did you see my deal with the 49ers? That's right, dog, $80 million over eight years, $22 million guaranteed, which makes me the highest-paid corner in the game. They didn't seem to mind that I only have five interceptions the last two seasons combined; they bought the whole "they're afraid to throw on me" line. (Thanks for that.) Still, can you believe I made all this green with the name Nate? Is there a less tough name in the NFL? Nate's the guy who puts the pop in your grocery bag, not the bruiser who pops you in the mouth. But hey, the money spends just the same.
