Adderley it would seem has held on to that anger for nearly two years. Why wait two years? Why in the fk would Russo want to bring this up now? |

Re: Adderley: Brees ‘greedy’ and ‘misinformed’
Maybe that is what the old players are hoping for and maybe not. It is hard to say. I do wish Drew would collect his millions and shhh.

I seriously doubt Drew's example had to go back to find someone 73 years old for fitting examples. He probably only had to go back to yesterdays Terrell Owens or Mike Vick. Adderley probably deserves some assistance, I do not know his story. TO deserves nada.. I know his story. However TO would benefit. Here is the list Drew was talking about with examples... Topping the list is Dam Marino. 78 Percent of NFL Players Bankrupt or Broke Ten Reasons Why NFL Players Go Broke | National Football Post Warren Sapp's sad bankruptcy auction not the first?or last?tale of Jocks Gone Broke - NFL - Sporting News |

If he played now, he would want to get paid as much as possible and might feel the same way. Pot meet kettle and while he's at it st*u

He could have gone out and bought himself a brand new Cadillac Fleetwood 75 and still have $40,000 (which is 4 times what the average American made in 1972), or instead of buying the new Cadi, put those $10,000 into a CD or just aside in a plain old savings account to pay for her daughter's college. I am going to take a wild guess as to which one Mr Adderley chose. |
