I hope he turns down the millions and plays QB for the Nubbs.
I also hope he has a career ending injury on the first play from scrimmage.
Any efftard that turns down that much scratch to play a game, just so he can play a different game that he kinda likes better for a few years, doesn't deserve to breath the same air as me.
Matter of fact, eff it, I hope he gets a career ending injury tomorrow just for pretending he was gonna turn down the guaranteed millions.
Totally. The guys behind Facebook. Twitter. Groupon. Foursquare. All should have taken the money. F-ing losers, look at them now.
Jeezus, Paul. How can your previous post be so good and this one be so very, very Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)?
Maybe sound reasoning and logical comparisons just aren't really your thing. Stick with the witty one-liners and you should be fine. Good luck! 
The comparison is between doing something you really enjoy and the possibility of making a lot of money vs. taking the safe bet with something you somewhat enjoy and a guarantee of high income.
Moscow's opinion is that money, as a sole motivator, in the long-term may actually be less likely to lead you to a higher income. And this is especially true for professional sports wherein strict dedication to the sport (and in many cases, luck) in all aspects of your life is required to secure a roster spot much less maintain that spot year in and year out. Surely, for someone who doesn't greatly enjoy the sport this would be extremely taxing, regardless of how much money you have in the bank.
Considering Bubba's position he'd be much better off in terms of his own personal happiness (doing something he greatly enjoys) which barring injury would maximize his total career longevity and in regards to his finances (presumptuous of you to assume he values money like you do) make him richer than he had even imagined. All by picking the sport that he enjoys most.
Any of the founders of the above companies were either already at or on the fast track to high-paying corporate careers. According to you, they should have gotten hit by a bus the morning they quit their job, grad school, etc to go try something they wanted more for less pay.
Since you spent so much time (wasted) on this post (horrible) I guess I'll take the time to tell you where you're wrong (everywhere).
Your comparison is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) because Bubba (rough ridin' stupid name) has nothing to gain financially by waiting to go pro, and he nothing to lose financially by turning pro now...but he has EVERYTHING to lose by going to college to play football. Zuckerberg et al. had tough decisions to make. They could give up large stakes in their companies in order to reap the guaranteed financial benefits now, or they could take a chance that those companies would continue to multiply in value and they would continue to be the sole (or at least majority) shareholder of a much more valuable asset down the road. For every Zuckerberg, there's a thousand douchebags that held on too long and ran their company into the ground after turning down millions. And for every Mark Cuban that cashed out at the peak and laughed all the way to the bank, there's a thousand suckers that sold out too early only watch a company they used to own multiply a thousand times in value virtually overnight.
First of all, I refuse to believe that anyone can achieve the level of success he already has (being slotted in the top 15 in the draft out of high school) without having a passion for that sport. Maybe it's not his favorite, but you don't get that good at something without loving it. But even if that is true, he should just enter the draft, collect his check for a few years while phoning it in and then go play football for the Nubbs in a few years if that's his dream (
). It's not like there isn't a precedent for that.
I'll make this really simple. Make a list of the worst things that could happen and the best things that could happen with either decision and see how that adds up. Here's a hint: it doesn't look good for the Cornholes.
Let's not lose sight of the fact that we're talking about a guy name Bubba making a decision about which
game to play for a living. If his one and only decision maker isn't money than he can rough ridin' die in a fire. And if he doesn't "value money" like I do than he's rough ridin' stupid, and I want stupid people to die in a fire. Either way, if he doesn't choose baseball, death by fire.
Thus concludes the longest post I ever hope to make on this fantastic internet website. eff you for baiting me into it.
SIDENOTE: Totally with Casey on his baseball theory. Solid work there.
