What does color have to do with anything? Does melanin somehow influence certain regions of the brain?

These guys do not listen. Teams should pay ex players who went broke and a firm to tell them how to spread their money out for their lifetime to live off of. 
They need a yearly reminder what happens.

If these guys don't listen, then what's the point in hiring the ex players and the firm?

That’s right, the camel.

Pride of OU, that AD.

Some of the bruthas in the NFL think they are more than they are. They think they can just do whatever they want. If you make 10 mil per year that's not enough to just do whatever you want. Have a 3 million dollar house is way to too much to spend.

It's amazing how you manage to ****ing suck with every post.

Around the time of his legal problems it was reported that there were 7, but he refused to say for himself how many there were.

I could see taking a loan out on a mortgage, because if you are solid with your investments your earnings should be more than the interest you get on a shorter term mortgage

If you tried to explain that to these guys their heads would explode.

Well, you only turn 30 once, so you might as well get the camel. I chose to enter atop a Galapagos turtle on my 30th, but that wasn't a good idea. I missed most of the party.

Update

Quote:

Former Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is returning for a 13th season in 2019 and it’s becoming clear why.

Peterson is apparently broke despite making more than a $100 million in salary and endorsements during his career.

Peterson, 34, who signed a two-year deal to return to the Washington Redskins for $8 million in March, rushed for 1,042 yards and seven touchdowns in 2018. It was his eighth 1,000-yard season. He ranks 8th all-time in rushing and needs less than 400 yards to pass LaDainian Tomlinson and Jerome Bettis for 6th all-time. With another 1,000-yard season he’d move ahead of Curtis Martin for 5th all-time.

“The truth behind Adrian Peterson’s current financial situation is more than is being reported at this time,” attorney Chase Carlson said in a statement reported by Pro Football Talk. “Because of ongoing legal matters, I am unable to go into detail, but I will say this is yet another situation of an athlete trusting the wrong people and being taken advantage of by those he trusted. Adrian and his family look forward to sharing further details when appropriate.”

Peterson played for the Vikings from 2007-16, winning the NFL’s Most Valuable Player award in 2012.

The Athletic first reported Peterson was being sued in Pennsylvania lender for failing to pay back a $5.2 million loan. He’s also been ordered by a judge to pay back a $2.4 million loan in Maryland. Last year a Minnesota judge ordered him to pay back $600,000 on a different $2.4 million loan.

He probably doesn't even know, himself.

I really want to see a spreadsheet that shows his income year by year and his expenditures. I would pay $5 to any media outlet other than the Star or KCTV5 who did that.

I'll pitch in. I used to do audit, and that would be a fascinating one.

I would love to see a player not invest in anything big. lead a somewhat cheap life. Get stocks and invest in small things.
