Jeter gets what he wants and still holds a grudge

Ok so Derek Jeter has Minka Kelly for a wife and is richer than half of MLB owners. So why is he still upset? According to ESPN, Jeter was angry at how things went down while negotiating his new $51 million contract. On behalf of the Yankees, let me apologize to Jeter that the Yankees actually gave a little bit of a hard time before handing over $50 million. Giving a 37 year old Jeter that much money is like giving Supermodel Heidi Klum top dollar....when she is 80! At some point, you gotta just be graceful and adapt to the surroundings. Yankees love Jeter and wanted him but Jeter wanted more simply off of past factors...nothing for the future. When you get fans feeling sympathetic for the owners, same owner who didnt get sympathy after giving Arod $251 million more than they should, then you know you are probably wrong.

At least when A-rod got his money thanks to superagent Scott Boras, he shutup and went through what every mega million athelete does: get divorced and start dating other really hot girls. But Jeter decided that instead of saying that hes glad this is behind him and cant wait to prove he is worth the $100,000 per an AB, he complains again. For these reasons, sometimes I just wish Jeter was more like Mets SS Jose Reyes in that he doesnt speak a word of english so hes quiet all the time.
