OT: Dumb stuff NFL rookies spend their contracts on
Some of these are obvious, some less so. (And some are maybe not as dumb as the other implies.)
But shark tanks? Really?
I get the point of your above post(s), but as soon as there is an owner who is so irresponsible with his/her money that two years after selling his team he is literally penniless with a broken body and useless mind, let us know. In other words, while you may be right that this is part of an effort to discredit the players a bit, this is also needed to keep some of these kids in check and on level ground.
If I got a $20 million windfall, hypothetically, I would not spend it on anything ridiculous, I guarantee it. I would buy one indulgence, though: I would add a room on to my house called the "Hot Chicks Room." It would have black lights and bean bags and disco balls running 24-7. It would have a fully stocked wet bar and plush shag carpeting. But most importantly, it would be fully stocked with hot chicks. New ones, rotating in and out, all the time. This would be the key element of the Hot Chicks Room...
Citizens Brigade reference!

One of my all time favorite shows. I still reference "ass pennies" at least 10 times a year...
coincidentally the guys quit picking up all the pennies i drop around the lot during the day.
Might want to rethink the blacklight thing....
Oh, Mr. Yost is perfect!!! He is SOOOOO perfect that his semen doesn't glow when exposed to a black light. La-de-daaaaa...

Wilt the Stilt?
Excellent, always debatable if he scored more on the court or off the court.
I remember reading an article that Gronk lives entirely off of his endorsements and doesn't dip into his salary at all
but what's the indulgence?
The hot chicks work for tips (yes, THOSE kind of tips), must clean before they leave, and Cipro is cheap... DUH!
Q: What did the leper say to the prostitute?
A: Keep the tip.
Q: Why was the lepers poker game a failure?
A: Everybody kept throwing in their hands.
Q. Why was there a stoppage of play in the leper hockey game?
A. There was a face off.
I'd love to hear the sales pitch someone gave about investing in Iraqi currency.
They should read this first:
Not hard to convince some young guy who has never had enough money to consider investing it that you know how to make him millions without doing any more than writing a check.
Tigers? Come on. It should be illegal to own a tiger or any animal that belongs in the wild. NEWS FLASH: Most animals are not meant to be domesticated.
So ridiculous. One should not be able to get a permit to own a wild animal.

have no concept about how to save money or use it wisely. As we have seen, it is why so many go bankrupt. Maybe they should have actually gone to their econ 101 classes instead of having someone else take it for them!
happens is simply horrendous money management. one of my cousins was in the NFL for years and his siblings were agents. they would share stories of guys that were getting paid astronomical dollars and would spend it so fast that they were literally broke in a matter of a few months - houses, cars, the 'entourage', parties, you name it, and that money was gone, gone, gone and they had no clue what happened to them.
So the follow up question is how did your coursin do. Did the siblings manage his money properly? All too often allowing family/friends to do that seems like a recipe for disaster...
as an O-lineman. he also had more life skill, sense, and his siblings in case he was tempted to do something stupid.
Not surprising that 80% of NFL and NBA players file bankruptcy within 2 years after leaving the league.
Even if you get a $20m signing bonus, basically 50% of that is gone after you pay taxes and your agent. Then you start buying expensive stuff that requires money to maintain. Houses? Property taxes on a $5m house are proabably $250k a year. Car insurance for exotics? All this stuff adds up. And then consider the average career in the NFL is only 3 years.
Some of these guys are complete morons. They oftentimes forget about taxes and agent fees. Poor investments is likely the number one reason why many athletes go broke. The author's tip for players to rent in the city they play is brilliant. There are luxurious or somewhat luxurious places to rent in every major city.
you're assuming that most know what taxes are. Chances are, most have never paid them before, mostly because they never made enough money.
Anyone catch the reference to Devin Bush? Just thought that was interesting is all. Carry on.
Being a good dude & not dropping a $10,000 dinner on some rookies.
