Re: OT: How Athletes Go Broke
If he could have just given me 1 mil of the 110 m contract
. I'd be living like a king, well, maybe not like a king, but financially worry free, long after he went broke.
I don't get it

Re: OT: How Athletes Go Broke
Awhile back I saw a story on ESPN or Fox that gave a number of 80% of NFL players are broke either 5 or 10 years after their careers end. Can't remember the exact number of years. Anyhow, a lot of it was due to bad investments and probably trying to live a lifestyle that's not possible like it was when they were playing. Either way that's pretty sad if the number is that high.Comment

Re: OT: How Athletes Go Broke
This investment cracks me up. Torri Hunter you had to know better than fall for this idea....
About five years ago, Hunter says, he invested almost $70,000 in an invention: an inflatable raft that would sit under furniture. The pitch was that when high-rainfall areas were flooded, consumers could pump up the device, allowing a sofa to float and remain dry. "The guy I invested with came back and wanted me to put in more, about $500,000," Hunter says. "Then I met [Butowsky], who just said, Hell no! I wound up never seeing that guy—or any of my money—again."Comment
