Brees catching some flak from retired players

papz · 07-07-2011, 01:17 PM

There’s some guys out there that have made bad business decisions. They took their pensions early because they never went out and got a job. They’ve had a couple divorces and they’re making payments to this place and that place. And that’s why they don’t have money. And they’re coming to us to basically say, ‘Please make up for my bad judgment.’” The retired players claim that this quote constitutes “antipathy for NFL retirees” from Brees.

Ouch lol! Hit 'em where it hurts why don't you Drew.

The truth sucks don't it? That's what happens when you have 9 kids from 8 different women, drive Bentley's you don't need or can afford, live in million dollar mansions with no one in it but yourself, have 100k earrings that make you look retarded, so on and so forth. The smart retired players saved up, invested, took into coaching, became analyst, etc. It's not their fault you blew all your money on hookers and blow... you get the point.

You can't protect stupid, and you definitely shouldn't be forced to compensate it.

Wel thats really the recent retirees that actually had that kinda money they coulkd spend. But if you talk about the old players who are 60-70 years old now, they didn't earn a whole lot of money most of them and NFL back then was a lot more violent and surgeries they got at the time was a lot worse.

Most likly nobody but look for example on head injuries, back then nobody knew the long term effects. I think it would be allright for the NFL to help the old timers that had 18 surgeries on knees and hips and played for a couple of years.

But say you are 35 and wasted all your mone NEWSFLASH BUDDY you have a great college education unless you were really stupid and didn't take it serious while in school and then you don't deserve any help.
