$26 mil in guaranteed contract + $30 mil in endorsements.
Poor guy.

Isn't he a college edjumacated texas longhorn?

Being black, and going broke just seems to go hand in hand
Another black from rags to riches back to rags story
"Don't throw his cloths out, he will need them back when he returns to the ghetto" - trading places with Eddie Murphy

Damn I feel terrible for him. He's had such a tough life.
-
Is it really that hard just to put away 10% in a bank account ? At least then he would have $5,6 mill today.
Does it take a financial genius to think like that ? Is it out of understanding for someone from a poor background ?

I'm serious, why do black people's family members do this to them? I never understood this. I know, white people have Berard Madoff, and Enron, but the black community is supposed to be "tight". They call each other "bro" and I'm sure they guilted this poor guy into giving them his money. It's like that guy Marcus Dupree who was taken of all his money by some preacher. Our very own Vince Goodrum was taken financially by his family. Any blacks care to comment? Not trying to be racist, because I know whites do some pretty awful things, but why do blacks seem to do it to family or community members while whitey does it to the faceless population? Just like this tax refund guy locally who got everybody's tax refunds, then split town. He was in a black neighborhood, and dealt with the black community, and took their money. With all the hardships blacks go through anyway, why would yo umake it hard on your own people?

Black familes are tight! Much tighter than a lot of white familes. And when you have a tight knit family that comes from nothing and someone makes it, they feel that you "owe" them b/c the family watched your back and took care of you. Also, when you come from nothing and then get a PHAT contract, you think its going to last forever. In the NFl, you are one play away from never playing again. The NFL isnt like the NBA or MLB. Some guys in the NFL have BIG guarneteed deals, but for most, they have to make the roster

Straight to the point.

Yes. And tight is admirable. But you have to build your own nest first. The 10% mentioned-yes- and buy ONE small apartment building or two rental houses- theres your residual income. THEN think about giving some away. A lot of people, blacks included, don't THINK.

Cavs rookie Kyrie Irving said he puts away 50% of every pay check he got this season. Smart move. NBA players are the WORST at money management. Well, a lot of that goes to child support, abortions and alimony. Never understood why they get married at the top of their game. Look at the mess D Wade is in. Dumbass

So BMC, what you're saying is, that they should NOT go RAW, SHOULD use a condom, and SHOULD pull out. But should STILL go balls deep right? ;D

Get a vasectomy, go raw, no pull out and balls deep! Enjoy the rawness, but cut the swimmers off ;D

If I remember correctly, he bombed the Wonderlich test.
Edit: Yeah, he did. Scored a 6 out of 50.

Thats why Charles Barkley gave all of his friends and family 10,000 grand and said thats it yourdone don't ever ask me for another dime! Love Chuck!

that means nothing!

The AVERAGE NFL career is 3 yrs. AVERAGE!!!! That means most guys will make the league minimum. Best bet in the NFL is if you can stay around long enough to get a pension.
Guys need to learn to say NO. But when you say that, your "folks" will consider you a sell out for turning your back on them. Its a catch-22. Young black men are so hung up on street cred and swag. If they were smart they would put that money away, invest wisely and when their careers are done get back into coaching or go back to school. The NBA and NFL will PAY for you to go back and get your degree.

there was report that he was dropping, $5,000 a week eating at the cheese cake factory

This doesn't bode well for Morris Claiborne and the 4 he scored on the Wonderlic.

They dont get paid millions based on that test. Claiborne is going to be good. Had a few rough games but he will be a baller

Scoring a 4 would indicate that he may not know how to tie his own cleats. Being broke soon after his last contract would be a good bet.

No. I had to take it for a job. It was part of my first of three interviews. It wasnt a hard test, more like common sense. You can get questions online that are on the test. I find it hard to believe that guys could score so low

I scored a 40 on the wonderlic on the pre employment screening for my first job out of college. Not too hard, I seriously don't know how I didn't get a perfect score.

Yea that's $10,000,000 and by the way genius that would be grammar! And by the way itwas a typo assfuck!

In your country they would be African immigrants. Is the situation the same as far as their behavior is concerned?
They drive BMWs, do cocaine, life in ghettos & have debts

this seems a quite common occurrence... don't the colleges/clubs help these fellas with their financial matters? they should be!

Not if your financial advisors and your uncle were stealing and misappropriating your money. Vince Young trusted these people and they fucked him over....he shares some of the blame for not watching his money more closely but a lot of these attorneys use legal trickery to get access to athletes funds who don't know better

Who's fault is that?? Since Vince has an IQ of 55 it's his fault for being so stupid!!!

He has the look of a pre-diabetic. He would be near the top of my death pool list if I had one. Looks like the type of guy who would do a header off the top of a building in some Asian country.
