he can float around Austin getting people to pay for his meals and drinks and get free pussy the rest of his life. piss broke or not, he's still a National Champion. i'd trade in my 9 to 5 to be a free loading champion in a heartbeat.

Kinda ironic that that looks like "Big Fail" to a dyslexic person...

As for Vince, it's sad because the league offers these fairly extensive classes to rookies about how to protect their money. Based on his Wonderlic, I guess Vince and class don't mix, though.

I have had the opportunity to meet a couple of guys who manage investments for sports figures and I can certainly understand why some of them go broke. I've mentioned this before, but they were far more interested in where we were going for drinks after the meeting than what the investment was going to accomplish for them. I suppose when it's SEM, it's easy to check your austerity at the door. That part of this is really a shame. Some of these guys really do fall prey to some heartless, selfish bastards.

I'm pretty sure that I would have done an astounding amount of drugs and wound up dead.

Vince is alive. Could be worse.

Yep. He's probably been surrounded by yes men and asskissers his entire life and just assumed that the good times were always gonna roll and the money would just always appear because he was so talented.

I can't even fathom 26 million. If he's broke after 6 years it's like spending ~$360,000 per month. I don't even know if I could do that even if I tried.

Can't feel sorry for these athletes that go broke...he can blame whoever else he wants but ultimately it was his decisions that led him to where he is.

I don't know ... I hear this a lot. But, you might be surprised (or perhaps not) how easy it is to spend 20 million bucks when you're living large, Mr. PhillyChiefFan.

Let's forget about taxes for a minute ... you can spend 5 to 10 million on a house (easy), 2 million on cars (easy), if you're into jewelry and clothes, you can quickly burn through another million in a couple of shopping trips. Then, there's entertainment and trips and luxuries like chartered air travel, hotel suites for 5 grand a night, and toys of all sorts. Then, there's cocaine. A decent cocaine habit can run a guy many thousands a week keeping himself and his friends so high they have no idea what they're spending.

And, of course, if you happen to have a whack woman around and you give her some credit cards, you can easily and quite rapidly experience the joy of seeing at least half of everything you have zip out the door before you can say, "Why do you need 400 pairs of shoes?" as she enjoys the good life purchasing everything else in sight. I once knew a girl in LA who spent 12 grand on a one-off, designer dress she wore one time. Of course, she had to since all her friends would also be attending the event.

I've known guys who hit the big time and, within a year, lost everything. The way America is set up, they make it very, very easy to spend enormous gobs of cash very quickly.

Who could blame him really? That Jack Daniels grill is delicious.

He needs to go to the CFL.

tecumseh 09-21-2012 10:12 AM

If he has no heart , as some here have stated, why would anyone hire him for a roster spot. Maybe QB coach in TX?
