I watch ESPN 30 for 30 Broke a while back.

Im afraid its hard to have any sympathy for those that make more in a year than some of us will make in our lives because they cant get rid of hangers on,spend wisely and as they admit try to outdo each other

Soooooooooo ... they're in college to learn about & play football, and then they're in professional football to learn about life & how to budget? :rolleyes:. What a topsy-turvy world we live in, eh? :lol:.

I have no sympathy for millionaires, but I am a little bit astonished at the "80%" figure ... I mean, it's understood professional athletes have to undergo a certain change of lifestyle to protect their privacy/assets, et... & there's always gonna' be that percentage that blow it all on strippers & cars, but 8-of-10 couldn't find someone to effectively manage their money? That's a fricken' crisis, IMO.

I'm putting out my shingle right 'chere, ;):

I'm not so surprised at the 80% as that is probably near the percentage of NFL players that make league minimum lol... They are only kathousandaires for a few years then have to fall back on what they failed to learn in college to live for another 40-50 years.

You cant protect people from themselves.

I wonder if its skewed by an enormous amount of players that are in the league for 1 year making near the league minimum.

Even so, its still a lot of money to waste though.

Is it really smart for a publication to post that. I just remember Sean Taylor getting shot when people brok in to his house. Making stuff lik that known won't lessen the chance.
