I didn't realize that he is only 30. He ran through that pretty quickly. Whenever I see this, it just lets you know who was wise with their money, and who decided to blow it away. Nice going Vince Young.

Anytime I see shit like this, I facepalm.
 
That's retarded as fuck. If you're blessed with more money than 99.9999999% of the population will ever see in their lifetime, I don't see why you would be stupid enough to blow it.

I don't understand these pro athletes who have so much money, only to be forced to file for bankruptcy, get in trouble for failing to pay taxes or child support. How do they spend their cash?

A lot of pro athletes come from a background of poverty, and are pressured to help out everyone in their family, close friends, etc..
 
That's not to say he didn't spend foolishly as well, because he probably did.

I think the bigger question is why this guy isn't on an NFL roster. Why did Green Bay cut him? They'd probably have been fine when Rodgers was out if they hadn't cut him for absolutely no reason.

Yeah you're right about helping out their family, isn't that what happened to AI?
 
Well, that and gambling...

Just read the LA times article on it, and like I suspected a little bit, he made bad investments.
