It's on ESPN right now, midnight Central Time.
The level of indulgence and stupidity is astounding.
Side Note: Lose Dodgers. Please lose. Come on Cardinals...

Me too. Normally I'd have went to sleep two hours ago, but I need to stay awake until this Dodgers game is over.

Yeah it's pretty sad that we as fans give people like that millions and millions to throw away, Iverson is on the 76ers practice squad, bankrupt, and owes over 800 grand to a Georgia jewelry store.

They used Ty Warren (an ag) as an example of how an athlete can manage his money and do well.

they could have used many, many individuals from virtually all schools. I think the SEC is beginning to see this "little sister mentality" from Texas A&M......seems to be y'all are starved for attention.

Trollin', trollin', trollin'!
Yes, Aggies love the attention we are getting. That makes us so unique. I mean no one else cares when their team or former players are represented well in the media.

McCants looked like he was on a heavy dose of pain killers when interviewed. Im sorry it ihard to feel sorry for these guys when most of them just blew through their money with no ideas on what to do when their career was over. I agree that in some cases they were given bad advice or taken advantage of by family, friends, agents, investors but most just spent like crazy.

Cant understand why an athlete has a mortgage. Use save so much money buy writing a check for the full amount on the closing date.

Says the guy sniffing out every thread that has a single mention of A&M and then responding about how butthurt he is. You and Deltaland should make a club.

It's no surprise that many people who abruptly come into shitloads of money don't understand how to manage it.
If you had been poor or lower middle class your whole life and suddenly had millions of dollars, it would be tough not to blow it on stupid shite like crazy expensive boats, houses, cars, etc., rather than put it in investments.

It is the same with lottery winners. They couldn't manage money when they had very little. Why should we expect them to manage money better when they have a lot?
If you'd given these same guys $50 when they had nothing, chances are they'd blow it. You can't suddenly give them $50 million and expect a better outcome can you?
Sure, there are exceptions to the rule. Those same exceptions are likely to be the people who would have risen out of poverty by learning skills that the very poor usually are not exposed to due to the fact that when they are impoverished, they have no need for those skills.
The same would hold true if you dropped a rich kid into the ghetto and expected him to suddenly be "street smart."

When you grow up in the ghetto and receive a check that would make a neurosurgeon faint, you're going to spend money. I'm not making excuses for these guys, but put yourself in their shoes. You go 18 years on bologna and pb&j and then after a few years in college you're making 20 grand a week.
