TO is broke and friendless?!? Wow, I never thought that I had anything in common with that guy, now I see that I got two things in common with him.
I'm your friend.

Thanks Joker, but I said I was broke and friendless, I was hoping that you would offer money too. Friendship ain't going to put food on the table unless you own Facebook.
BTW, thanks to the people who decided that they would click the like button on my admitting I am broke and friendless. I wonder how many likes I could get if I announced that my dog died and I am homeless.
This. That's what makes the vitriol directed towards him from sports fans sad to me.
People are happy he's failed when all he's ever done is clearly have personality issues.

I read this article either last night or the night before. I have never been a TO fan, but making $80 mil and being close to broke, I do feel a little sorry for the guy.

Let me know what job options are available to an out of work athlete that allow them to cover 1/2 a million a year in child support alone because I want to get in on that line of work pronto.
I mean you can't simply be oversimplifying here, right?

well, he can always fall back on his college degree to get a job, right?
Oh, he doesn't have one. Well, I'm sure he KNEW going into the NFL that the average player lasts 3 years, so he better have a plan in place for after that. Oh, he didn't? Tough crap.
I plan that I'll be making roughly what I make now for the foreseeable future, yes. But I have skills that are relevant past a 3 year mark. When I see that my skills are becoming irrelevant, I invest time and energy in buffing them up, or learning new ones. TO and all NFL players KNOW going in that its a short opportunity to earn as much as you can. If they don't plan for the period after their given skills aren't useful anymore, tough patooties. No sympathy here.
I have to plan for it, they should to.
LOL you arent living in reality.

I could go on all night...you still won't get the point and then you'll violently lash out like you did two posts earlier with a brand of vituperative viciousness that is unparalleled on this board...here's a link that might be of interest to the rest of the people here who may want to know more about the post playing days of most NFL players...

The situation he is in is totally of his own making. Utter lack of accountability. It's always someone else's fault, from the 4 seperate supposedly skanks HE managed to impregnate including the last one's child he has never set eyes on he's so angry that happened...to the teamates who inexplicably undercut him and the agent who enabled him to even earn $80M to the media who painted him as exactly who and what he is...
No sympathy whatsoever. And $130K per babymama household per kid isn't excessive for a guy making $2M even last season, let alone one who has apparently blown through $80M in a little more than a decade.
Sweet, this would be a totally great comeback if I was in any way arguing that it is impossible to maintain and/or grow wealth. I'm not.
In a nutshell I'm saying there are too many examples of people becoming wealthy only to end up on their ass for the glib little 'GET A JOB' BS floating around this board to be anything close to a meaningful input on the issue.
If you possessed of even a modicum of introspection you might say to yourself 'there but for the grace of God go I'. If you further had the analytical capacity of a potato you might also wonder if a guy who breaks down in press conferences, makes constant negative headlines and wherever he goes and attempts suicide you know, might just have an emotional disorder.
But instead you and those of your ilk opt to revel in the downfall of an athlete which absolutely smacks of schadenfreude based out of envy. I mean he got rich playing a game, you and I clearly can't do that so Haha, let's all clap our hands and celebrate when he falls on hard times.
And people consider me a troll around here. The lack of compassion would be astounding but I've have my expectations of this board suitably lowered over the years.
