Chapter 11


That's probably the furthest chapter he's ever made.

I cannot fathom how one would even rack up a 6k tab at TGIF...

isn't their most expensive entree like $25? how big is your damn entourage?

I liked this comment.

There were huge red flags on Young after he scored a 6 out of 50 on the Wonderlic Test.



6. Out of 50.



A score of 10 means you're literate.



Young got a 6, and this guy is a university student.


this goes to show that athletics + universities are a bunch of bullshite.

It's absolutely stunning that he has less than $1MM in assets when he's probably made $50-100MM in his career.

*slow clap*

It takes talent to piss away that much money without anything to show for it.


At least MC Hammer, Tyson, etc., had a bunch of houses and expensive cars. This idiot has a bunch of ticket stubs from Southwest.

for his position, it doesnt matter. no WR or DB or RB takes it seriously. they probably sit down and do C, C, C, C, C, C. its super important for QBs, QBs know it, and try on it. while im not trying to say mo is a scholar of sorts, im just saying its not really comparable IMO

Trying to remember which group of positions are expected to do best on this... IIRC, it is the OL and the QB, while most other positions with more limited responsibilities are not punished for low scores.

Lots of RBs in particular tend to get crap scores on it, though Frank Gore's excuse is that he has severe learning disabilities. IIRC, his score was a 5.

He had a steakhouse in downtown Austin, too. Had no idea it was there until I saw it with my own eyes back in Aug '11. As you would imagine, it had already been shut down. I lol'd.

If you can run-up a $6k tab at TGIF, then you have no business trying to run a restaurant of your own.

Mo didn't take the test. He wrote down the same letter and walked out after 10 minutes

He might not be smart at all, but he isn't a "4" dumb.

I know he sued his advisors, but I think it was dismissed. I would love to be in some of those meetings when they were coming up with investment ideas.

"Vince, what better place to sell your smoked meats than a steakhouse bruh? It's a no-brainer"

Saw him out in midtown Houston about 6 months ago.

Taking shots like a champ. This was right after the Packers dropped him.

Saw him before that in March or April. Looked to be in pretty decent shape then.
