Ten reasons why ex-NFL players go broke...
1) Gross vs. net: It never fails; when my clients get their first NFL check they call me and say something is wrong. They are floored by how much is taken out for taxes and other deductions. Unfortunately, the shock doesn’t resonate long enough. I would say 90% of players have some type of direct deposit or their check gets mailed to their investment advisor and the players never see the net amount. Thus, they think they always are making more money (in gross numbers) than they actually are...

While I understand the whole paying-what-you-earn concept, it's really hard to feel sorry for somebody who pisses away more money in a night than I make in two years.

speaking of bar tabs, i was in austin a couple of weeks ago drinking at a very nice upscale bar with a live band. i ordered probably 5 makers and cokes and 5 beers. i figured close to 10 bucks a drink it should be around $100.

$200,000 for Lebron is about $5 for the rest of us. Now if this was some middle of the road NFL player then yeah that would be ridiculous and make it hard to feel sorry for them.

#1-Had no financial responsibility teaching from their parents growing up.
I would venture to guess that the % of bankruptcy among players (and people in general) who grew up in a home with parents that taught them fiscal basics is markedly lower than those who did not.
