New England Patriots defensive lineman Ty Warren is throwing $250,000 out the window. And for what? A lousy college education?
Well, I guess he's got good enough reasons:
New England Patriots defensive end Ty Warren is forgoing his $250,000 offseason workout bonus, he says, because no amount of money is worth having his kids see their father without a college degree.
[...]
"I try to put the kids in the best educational system possible and I think there is something to be said for their father, who has been blessed to play in the NFL and do something he's loved to do, going back and finishing what he started," Warren said from the campus of Texas A&M. "In the big picture, I think it's important for me to do what I'm doing. I can sacrifice that bonus for that."
No word yet if Bill Belichick has found a way to make Warren look bad in this situation, trade him, save money and win a Super Bowl ... but that may be coming.
