Jags players arrested in UK bar brawl; game starts in 12 hours

[Brady_to_Moss]

Do you have any idea how much champagne and vodka you have to order to build up a $50k bar tab? Jesus. No wonder many NFL players to broke.

Eddie Curry made what i feel is a billion with the Knicks yet went broke in what 5 years?

He had a 500k personal loan with an interest rate of 85%...

His house bills were 30K a month..30K....He was paying ALL of his family and friends bills....people are very stupid

 

[Soliel]

wait a minute...this joint had circus acts? they were midget tossing? clowns running through the throng with rubber prickles? bearded ladies? (wait...that ain't no lady!).

Oooops...sawree. The joint I was talking about is "Twerps&Twats" and it was the entire Jete defense getting kicked in the nuts by THIS guy...

Right, ergo my inability to understand not wanting to pay. That’s some high quality entertainment

 

[NormZauchin]

And it probably tastes like crap, right?

Never had the opportunity to sample; probably never will. But several years ago I did have a French Bordeaux worth more than $1000 (it was a gift originally purchased for $80 in 1986 that just kept rising in value) and it was the best wine, by far, that I have ever drunk.

In other team news.....Here's a picture of the Jaguar players working out in their new training facility. What could possibly go wrong?

 

[captain stone]

Feckin JAG-offs...the one time I want them to actually win, and they lose.

Hilarious and sad at the same time. These guys that come out of the hood without a pot to piss in have no idea how to value, budget, and save money. $30k for a mortgage payment? Lmfao.

 

[Pat the Pats Fan]

Coughlin will get rid of them sooner rather than later.

Make no mistake, this is an embarrassment to Khan, who wants to look good to the London community.

Aren’t the jags a team mentioned as moving to London?

multiple.

when you come from nothing there is an expectation that you will help everyone around you. a lot of these guys don't understand that you can say no.

There’s a reason why everyone around you also has nothing. Because they largely don’t know how to make their own way and make, budget, and save their own money.

yeah, that's kind of the point. That's why they end up going broke. the united states for the most part is now a system setup for failure, capitalize on the less fortunate in order to be a good capitalist patriot.

Not really. There are plenty of ways out of poverty that some of those that come from it make use of every day. Some just choose not to.

Look at Dr. Dre...Ice Cube ect. Guys came from nothing in Compton and you would think wouldn't know what to do with $$ when they got it.

Ice Cube is worth $160 million and Dre around 800 million. They did something with their lives and contributed to the community

 

[Koma]

Jaguars fans rented a plane to fly a banner stating “Myles Jack wasn’t down” before their game against the Patriots this season. I imagine they’ll be renting another one in the future that reads “Barry Church thought those bottles were comped.”

GTFO with that ignorant socialist garbage.

 

[Soliel]

GTFO with that ignorant socialist garbage.

I second that. Let’s not pretend that capitalism has created more wealth than any system in the history of mankind. Meanwhile, socialist ignoramuses always forget their system has ruined many nations.

On a lighter note, I really like port wine. I’ve had some that was 40 yrs old and like 30% alcohol. It’s usually expensive even for newer port. Old French port or like Spanish amontillado, yikes! People will chain you down and build a wall around you over that wine

Yep and all that wealth is tied up in the army, or in banks in tax evasion areas. Very little of that money is being spent. as a result the united states continues to see a deficit rise.

I'm not saying everyone should get an equal share. However I am saying that Corporations hoarding all that money should pay their fair share of taxes and stop hiding billions overseas.

No. Taxing corporations is a horrible idea. imo.

I like policies in favor of increasing personal taxation evenly throughout the tax brackets such as the "fair tax" or "flat tax" and reducing corporate taxes to 0.

That would attract business and help create jobs and allow corps to bring offshore money back to this country for reinvestment.

Bring back manufacturing jobs to this country and a lot of things get better. Race relations, middle class, poverty, etc.. etc..

Just my opinion.

I don't know if that's ever going to happen for a lot of these companies. Amazon for instance is a distributor and cloud provider. Apple more then likely won't ever fully bring manufacturing back, not with how little they spend in labor costs in Asia. Trumps plan to set a minimum salary for imported IT workers wasn't terrible, but i don't know if it had much of an effect.

For the most part a lot of manufacturing is going to move towards automation. Even the fast food industry is heading that way. in the next 10-15 years there are going to be a LOT of people displaced in the workforce by simple machines, we're(as a people) going to need to find jobs for them, otherwise they become dead weight on a system already being strained.

The really interesting thing about amazon is how little they actually make in terms of profits, while at the same time the owner continues to out pace the rest of the elite in terms of straight cash homie. It would be interesting to see what he does with his $156 billion dollars If i had maybe 2 of those billion and 5 years, I bet i could solve a good chunk of the homelessness.

Re: the bolded, if I had to take a guess, my guess would be that a generous percentage of them begin moving towards trades (I.E., electricians, plumbers, welders, etc). Because the country has placed a premium on higher education, there's a saturation of candidates in fields that require degrees while skilled trade jobs are dwindling.

Possibly, but for the most part, the capitalism economy in this country is rigged so that it works downwards. If you're trying to rise out of poverty, you're really going against the current. If you're a person of color.. well, good luck.
