EXCLUSIVE: Cowboys Star DeMarcus Ware On His Money, His Legacy And His 'Crazy-Stupid'

   In my experience, almost without exception, when an athlete signs his "deal of a lifetime'' -- and that's what this six-year, $78,000,000 (and 1) deal with the Cowboys represents for DeMarcus Ware -- his mind whizzes through three phases of realization:

   One, he thinks about his family.

   Two, he thinks about his legacy.

   And three, he thinks about what crazy-stupid thing he's going to buy.

   In the second of Blogging The Boys' two-part exclusive interview with the new possessor of the largest contract in Cowboys history (part 1 is here), I learn that DeMarcus' "three phases of realization'' regarding his money are just like everybody elses ... except for that third crazy-stupid phase.

Please visit Blogging The Boys for the second part of my interview. Enjoy!
