I'm not bitter. He would be the best player in our program's history by a mile and I'd give anything to have a college QB of his caliber at A&M. The retards who call into 610 every day and want the Texans to sign him do make me laugh though.
Great college player. Sad to see him in dire straits.

I have not an ounce of sympathy for VY. Life is life; it happens to all of us. Maybe he should have used some of that $20K a year scholarship at UT to have learned something, gotten something that resembled some sort of education, or gained some life skills.
If he didn't then so the frick what. Time to punch a clock buddy. UPS will hire him in a heartbeat.
Thank you. Funny as hell how they go BROKE when normal people like us that WORK for a living know how to manage our money, pay for our own education, etc. Don't feel sorry for them one bit. Nobody told them to buy expensive homes, rims, cars, jewelry that cost more than some cars, etc. They didn't have all that crap in HS or College, why blow your money when you go pro.
He better learn how to rap, he can probably make a couple $100,000 that way.

Should have learned from Drew Brees. Start your chain franchises now and still have an income after the game.

typically this is a step that loses these players a chunk of their money and leads to financial problems
the 4 things that players typically lose their riches on:
1. restaurants
2. record labels
3. real estate
4. car dealerships
of course entourages speed this up a good bit, where applicable. family shite and personal purchases, too
but those 4 tings suck a ton of money from people to an insane degree

they should take 20% of their net income and just put it in savings or CD's. It would be the best way to prevent them from blowing it on crap

100% Correct.
If you want to invest your money and absolutely need to go the restaurant route, I would say owning a few Mcdonald's and Chick fil a's is a pretty safe way to go.
It shouldn't take up too much of your money and should actually make you a good amount.
The record labels and car dealerships is beyond stupid. SO much risk there. Opening your own restaurant is stupid too. That's one of the top if not the number 1 business that fails.
Real estate wouldn't be that bad if they bought a "mansion" where they wanted to reside and then normal 250-350k houses in vacation spots. (no more than 2-3 IMO) Just gotta make sure you're not in real estate to try and make a quick buck. It's the quickest way to end up broke and fricked.
they forget about the taxes and upkeep that comes with all that though.

THIS! Though, I'm a little more risk averse and would up it to 35% of my money just in case I went full retard.

yeah let me clarify for everyone. when i say "real estate" i don't mean big houses. i mean legitimate real estate investments
they have completely fricked TO and mark brunell recently

in this market, with millions in capital, you could scoop up plenty of great properties to either rent or flip and make tons
athletes really are stupid and prob get tons of bad advice while ignoring sound financial advice

I dont feel bad for anyone that makes 20+ million and doesnt have the sense to hire a professional financial advisor.

I know a couple of ghetto strippers out of South Florida who have partied with Vince on his dime (flights, hotels, clothes, shopping, etc). For a millionaire that's not much to spend on a single occasion, but he's probably done it a lot and is just one of his dumb expenses.

...as a retired McD's franchisee I can safely say VY wouldn't get a chance to work there much less own one.

these are usually drops in the bucket, though. like $2-3M of that $50M
losing $10-15M in a real estate deal is something COMPLETELY different

did anyone think he'd be a good steward of his money?
it's a shame he peaked in that national title game
