Re: Derrick Coleman in the poor house

Another loser with terrible money management skills. The fact that he made over 87 million dollars (in just salary, probably a lot more including endorsements and what have you) and is now broke is just pathetic. If you have so much damn money, why not throw a few million bucks in a CD or something just in case? I can't believe the stupidity of some of these people.

I have more sympathy for people who go into debt for at least trying to engage in legitamate business ventures...unlike Toine who spent it all on gambling.

Yeah,at least he was trying to do a good thing. But after a couple of failures you figure someone would have told him that he needed to slow it down.

Heart transplant? I guess that explains the lack of heart he had as a player.

You should be banned for even trying to make a joke like that.

I saw DC at a local club here in C-town when we had the AS game. Dude was by himself at the end of the bar with about 50 Heinekens, all opened. He slammed a dozen or so and left the rest, which the bartender gave away when he dipped.

Thanks, DC!

It's not just pro athletes, look at all the entertainers/celebrities/Hollywood-types with money problems. This stuff keeps happening again and again.

Wake up call to all professional athletes. I know he tried to help Detriot poorer communities but that doesn't explain how he blew threw his resources. I know someone at sometime tried to warn him.

I don't need to lighten up. I've got a great sense of humor. Even if your "joke" wasn't in poor taste it wasn't even close to funny.

I can't believe it either. Like I literally CAN'T fathom it. You'd have to throw a hundred dollars out the window every minute for 12 hours a day for over three years to waste it all.

Exactly. I have no sympathy for rich people who squander away their fortunes.
