I believe it is old Final Fantasy nerd-fest language.

can't say I blame him for his decision ... at the time he made it, more money was all the Bears could offer ... and at that time, opponents were regularly leaving town after beating the Bears and commenting on how poorly coached the team seemed to be

with the new regime, hopefully this will change and Chicago will become a desired destination for more than just a paycheck

Well, that's his loss. He had an opportunity to play for the legendary John Fox and blew it.

I'm going to have to tweet Bouye to find out how much more it was. $100 and my point stands, $5m guaranteed and I'll shut up.

I've invested too much into this to give up so easily!
