Wealth & Money Quote by Dante Hall

There is a refreshing lack of mythology in Dante Hall's answer: he doesn't dress the pro-athlete life up as destiny, sacrifice, or spiritual calling. He names the job. Sunday afternoons are the stage, fans are the feedback loop, and money is the reward that turns spectacle into a tangible upgrade for the people who rode with you before the spotlight found you.

The first favorite thing - "being able to excite many fans" - is a compact description of modern sports labor. A player isn't just competing; he's producing emotion on a schedule. The detail "Sunday afternoons" matters because it points to the NFL's weekly ritual: a recurring appointment where cities pause, attention concentrates, and identity gets outsourced to performance. It's also a reminder that fandom is built less on championships than on repeatable hits of adrenaline. Hall, a return specialist, made a career out of exactly that kind of sudden jolt.

The second favorite thing - "the money" - lands with blunt honesty that reads almost defiant in a culture that prefers athletes to pretend compensation is incidental. His subtext isn't greed; it's redistribution and relief. "Treat my family and friends and myself" signals the social gravity of coming from somewhere that expects you to pull others upward, and the quiet permission to enjoy the fruits of a body-and-risk economy. The awkward repetition ("and...and...and") even helps: it sounds unpolished, like a real person admitting what the PR version would sand down.
