It’s the season of giving, folks, and with that comes the added fun of seeing what some of the highest paid athletes in the world are gifting their teammates for Christmas.<\/p>\n
It’s not out of the ordinary for a quarterback to give his offensive linemen Rolexes or even new cars if he has a sponsorship with a local dealership, but Green Bay Packers signal caller Jordan Love decided to take a different approach to the holidays this year.<\/p>\n
Last summer, Love signed a $220 million contract with more than $160 million guaranteed, so it stands to reason he could have absolutely spoiled his teammates who go to war with him on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n
The results? Probably not what you would expect.<\/p>\n
Damn, Jordan! Save some money for the rest of the people on your Christmas list.<\/p>\n
Now, look, I am not one to shame people for how they choose to spend their money, let alone when they are being charitable, but there’s definitely a precedent for highly paid pro athletes to splurge when it comes to Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n
Hell, I’ve seen college QBs on NIL deals spend more on their teammates than Love did this year.<\/p>\n
Again, I don’t want to be the one to tell a man how to spend his hard-earned paycheck. I’m simply pointing out how bad this looks from an optics perspective.<\/p>\n
The fine folks on X were split on this issue, with some calling Love out for his frugality, while others were quick to jump to the young quarterback’s defense.<\/p>\n
When it comes to giving gifts, especially as we get older, it all comes down to the mantra of “It’s the thought that counts.”<\/p>\n
Even if that’s the case, then this is still a pretty rough look for Love.<\/p>\n
Nothing seems personalized about this gift. It just looks like he bought a bunch of shoes in different sizes and handed them out to his boys on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n
What’s even worse is that Josh Jacobs gifted his offensive line diamond chains on a contract a fifth the size of Love’s.<\/p>\n
But, at the end of the day, everyone should be allowed to celebrate Christmas how they want to.<\/p>\n
Lord knows I’m not the world’s best gift giver, so I sympathize with Jordan Love here.<\/p>\n
Then again, I’m not worth a quarter of a billion dollars, so there are levels to this.<\/p>\n
Maybe go with some suped-up golf carts next year, bud. The press will eat that up like Christmas ham.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Let the man spend his money how he wants!
