Ding! Ding! Ding! I wouldn't be surprised to see him go to Europe if he doesn't make a squad here. My guess is it's completely about the money. It's not like A) The son will remember seeing him play since he is only two years old and B) Darius doesn't have access to game tape from when he did play to show his son.
1) What's wrong with wanting to play to earn money? Do you think your heroes would go through the rigors for free? 2) Why do you say it's better late than never, when he wanted to play all along? He kept saying so in the local media, and his agent complained that he was ready, willing, and able. But Pritchard held him out for the insurance scheme. 3) In what way did Miles get paid $18M only because he failed the medical exam? I thought he was being paid that all along, while he wasn't allowed to play. Are you saying he got a giant bonus for flunking the doctor's exam?
2) If he really wanted to play, he would have rehabbed after his knee surgery. You don't get infections if you're going to a physical therapist every day like you're supposed to. 3) Because his salary was paid by insurance, it wasn't subject to income taxes.
False on both counts. You can get an infection anytime anywhere after a surgery and Darius wasn't paid through insurance; the team paid him his salary and they in turn were reimbursed for part of it through insurance.
