Hard to argue with this type of logic for Ex-Redskins great Dexter Manley.
I appreciate his honesty while talking to WTOP about the Redskins preseason schedule.
Host: Now the starters are only going to be in there for a few plays tonight. What do you watch for from them?
Manley: Well, I’m not gonna watch.
Host: Really?
Manley: No, It’s preseason.
Host: We’re trying to get excited here, Dexter.
Manley: Well, don’t get over excited.
Host: So if you’re not gonna watch, what are you gonna do tonight?
Manley: Uh, I’m gonna probably be having sex with my wife.
That wasn’t all, though. There was also this.
Manley: These guys are only getting like a five, six-hundred dollar check every week, but when the regular season starts, that’s when the big bucks start.
Host: Is that right? They only get small checks, just enough to pay the bills?
Manley: For training camp, yeah, it’s just chump change. Most of them probably got mistresses, and they’re giving the money out to them.
My only suggestion is if you are a low round draft pick, you might not be around when the “big bucks start”, so you might want to hold off giving that money to the mistresses.
