Florio nailed it in one sentence. Its the answer to every fan who ever bemoaned an athlete asking for more money after they are already well paid.
Florio-PFT (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/08/22/wilf-says-favres-decision-to-return-was-not-about-money/)[/b]]Sometimes when it's about the money it's actually about respect, power, and/or control.
While I disagree with his next point, that Favre runs the show (Zygi is making money off this deal unless he is a complete fool), it does demonstrate that Favre has leverage with this franchise and that they need him more than he needs them. And that is a problematic position for any employer to be in.
