        Looking forward to seeing "Broke" tonight. I read that Antoine Walker was on First Take earlier talking about some of his financial mistakes.

              It just so happened that I had chosen SMU for a dynasty in NCAA Football 11. I was fascinated to learn that SMU had some of the greatest teams in history.

              I also really liked the Steve Bartman one, Catching Hell. It let you see everything from his perspective and how it all turned out in the end.

                This episode was pretty sad......People getting used left and right, even by their own parents. At 1st I was thinking Vick was going to be the most stupid, but no Bernie Kosar wins that hands down. 60 cell phones and his own dad spending all his money...He literally was terrified by his dad his whole life.

                Nice to see Andre Rison is still conceited as ever.

                  Every athlete needs to watch this. In fact, it should be required watching at rookie symposiums so we don't have to listen to so many has-beens complaining about pensions, smh.

                    It should be, but even if it is, most guys would have that it will never happen to me attitude and not pay attention to it.

                      You're right and it's a dang shame.

                        Kenny: Ok Vic, I'm ready for some girl on girl action.
                        Vic: No Kenny, that's girl versus girl.
                        Kenny: What's the difference?
                        Vic: Well, in one, one girl wins. In the other....
                        Kenny: Everyone wins?!?!

                          It usually happens when people want to live that "Life". You want to have all your friends and family straight, acting like money isnt a thing, get involved in things they shouldnt, WOMEN, jewelry and cars.

                          Alot of athletes dont have a plan for the future. For most of the athletes it is "I'm in the league now, I'm straight. It is not going to happen to me".

                          They need to know what they are going to do after they retire, keep "friends" to a mininum, stay away from groupies or use condoms, and invest smartly.

                            I think they brought a solid point at the end, more players with futures in sports need to take classes that can make them more financially literate in college
                            Saints, LSU, Seminoles, Pelicans, Marlins, Lightning

                              I know how people don't understand how these athletes can burn through money like that but I don't really see the difference in mentality with someone that lives paycheck to paycheck.

                              Don't get me wrong, I don't feel sorry for them at all because they should invest in education on how to run their money. My buddy is friends with an Dolphins player who just bought a super car, I think a Lambo. He didn't put it on a black card or use one of his NFL paychecks, he used the interest made from his savings account.

                              If you are someone who lives paycheck to paycheck but have the latest video game, cellphone and clothes you are no different than these guy other than they buy houses, cars and party.

                                These are the two the stood out for me...

                                "Rison being Rison" was hysterical, while the haunted look in Kosar's eyes was truly sad...
