Thread: Broke... $

    Default Broke... $

    Wow...just finished watching the 30 for 30 on how multi-million dollar athletes go broke. Makes me so appreciate being an accountant that much more. It's so much easier to tell someone how much money THEY have...instead of being told how much money YOU have.

    Does the NFL not offer any form of money management classes/courses???? Then again, if they do..."you can lead a camel to water, but you can't make him drink it"

    The NFL has a "class" during the rookie symposium, but I highly doubt anyone listens.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't just about every NFL player spend at least three years in college? What are they learning at these bastions of upper level education?

    the doc following it was pretty effin tremendous also, not only b/c i despise carl "two unintentional positives" lewis but it was refreshing to hear what ben johnson had to say for once instead of carl speaking for him. i thought "broke" was good but i can never fully get into billy corbin's flicks.

    I won't name names, but a high school classmate of mine played 4 years in the NFL and was even on a Super Bowl winner for one of those years. He made well over $1M during that 4 year span (and that was 25 years ago) yet he was flat broke less than a year after he played his last down in the NFL. Last I heard, he was driving a garbage truck back home.

    I got the impression that much like Lance Armstrong, Carl Lewis was a fraud. And his midget enabler freaked me out.

    Brandon Mitchell had a friend swindle over $500K in a poor business deal. I wouldn't say that he mismanaged money the way most in that feature has.

    If Lance Armstrong was a fraud, so were the other 95% of cyclists who were taking steroids.

    True enough. Doesn't make him any less a cheater.
