Quote:The difference between Brunell and these guys is that he had financial advisors trying to help them along.  They screwed him, but at least he was trying to make wise business choices.

 

These guys just want to look cool.  They can buy all they want, but 5 years after their career is over and they are all the sudden bankrupt I'm supposed to feel sorry for them?

 

The thing is, broke is broke no matter how you got there.

 

The rookies are given every possible tool to manage their money properly.  As you pointed out, Brunell had financial advisers who screwed him over.   Maybe he would have been better off sticking to cars, guns, jewelry, and houses.  At least he'd have had more assets to unload.
