Middle class is becoming a real biatch these days.

Yep, $60 million plus just ain't what it used to be. Poor guy, he may have to sell insurance or drive a forklift to provide for his family if we don't cave to his extreme demands.

SORRY, NO SYMPATHY HERE FROM ME!

Drew, and ALL NFL players need to learn how to manage their finances better.

I have a friend who was a former NFL draft pick for the Bears and played 3 seasons in Chicago. He blew his money and now works at a retail store.

He told me once that neither in College nor the NFL did anyone teach him how to manage or save his money.... all gone. It's a hard life lesson to learn. PM me and I'll tell more.

Current NFL players make 10 times what NFL players made 7 or 10 years ago!!!

It's seriously out of hand. People have a right to do what they want with their money and earn whatever is awarded them in private business.....

But there ARE NO ETHICS or values instilled in these men who are considered "professionals" by a league which professes itself to be held to such "high standards"!!

IT'S A FLIPPING DISGRACE!! HYPOCRISY!!!

THERE, I HAD TO SAY IT. END OF RANT!!!!!

It is disgraceful.
It starts with the incestuous relationship between the NCAA and the NFL.
Each says that the other is autonomous and their affairs are their own.
The NFL should have a hand in mentoring these young men that will one day be their employees.
They hold a Rookie Symposium every year following the draft and expect all of these guys to have an epiphany and reverse a lifetime of adults coddling them and accepting poor behavior in a weekend. All because they can play ball.
I won't accept 18 year olds in the NFL like the NBA and MLB has, but there should be a minor league system for dudes who have no business being in secondary education.

The reason that it will never happen is that the NFL won't do it if it isn't profitable.

True altruism would be nice in this case.
