[quote=Jontrem;878621]I never liked T.O. but he gets some sympathy from me here (not on the 4 kids from 4 women thing though). A lot of these guys end up trusting the wrong people with their money and end up getting in bad investments. All the hard work and sacrifice they put in to get to NFL and they end up with nothing.[/quote]

You've got a big heart JonTrem, but I can see what you mean. And it sounds like the mistake TO made here was trusting Rosenhaus. A guy as savvy as Rosenhaus knows what he's doing in all matters concerning money. If he suggested TO invest money with people who lost all that money, you know that Rosenhaus was telling those guys that TO's a sucker and they have nothing to lose. Hell, his investors probably still have a shit ton of his money.

$49 million for seven years, + $10 million signing bonus with the Eagles

And you don't have any money put away for a rainy day? Let me spend some time having pity for you.... Ok I'm done

[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;878802]I'm just wondering but what kinda kid needs $50,000 a month in child support? What is he eating? Gold?[/quote]

According to the article, this is the total he pays out for all four kids...

That'd be nice and all, but if memory serves correct he didn't play 7 years with the Eagles so he didn't get all that money. Not defending his horrible money losing ways, but I think lifetime total for the NFL was around 80 million. Which is still ridiculous to blow away in its' own right but it's not the figure you're claiming.

Wasn't my claim Albert, read it again your attention to detail isn't very good!! Its almost as bad as your disdain for Eli Manning!

Re: Terrell Owens "I'm in hell" Almost broke after illustrious NFL Career
 

Take a second and think about those who have never been a starter/were only short term starters, or never got that HUGE deal. Where is their public outcry of being broke? Owens is at best ignorant and I have no more sympathy for him that I do for Pacman Jones slapping a stripper or Dante Stallworth running someone over while drunk. You make your own path. Now sit in it and either make it better or shut your mouth. Go cry on someone's shoulder in the IFL and stay the hell out of the NFL media unless you can contribute. Don't wine about money unless you can afford to buy everyone some cheese to go with it.

If you don't support that claim why are you posting it? It is your claim, I'm not saying you were the one that made up that argument but you were the one that brought it to the table, hence I'm saying its yours. If you don't support that claim than you need to make a clear distinction that you don't. And fyi, I don't even have disdain for Eli Manning. I think he's an elite quarterback (as of this year) in a great situation. I don't like him, but I sure as hell respect him.

Sorry you don't understand what "saw this posted means" or "Lmao" im not really the APA or MLA kind. An apology to me is not necessary, I think maybe a written letter to Eli would be in better taste or maybe a fruit tray. Its all good.

It seems like everyone in the business of white-collar theft knows the best marks are young black milliners. On a personal level I don't feel sorry for T.O. and from a human tragedy level it's kinda sad that these millionaires aren't financially educated by their agents and the NFL. The first rule of staying wealthy is to park 50% of your earnings in a safe secure investments (T Bills). I wish you could mandate saving.

Fruit tray.
Definitely the fruit tray.

Still too much.

Re: Terrell Owens "I'm in hell" Almost broke after illustrious NFL Career
 

[quote=Coff;878931]And that's a pretty reasonable way of doing it. If I understand correctly, you only pay child support when you don't have custody? It would be sort of absurd to be making $10 million a year and only paying $500 a month in child support. If nothing else, it provides a reason to be more responsible, although in this case TO certainly didn't get the message.[/quote]

I still think its a stupid and absurd amount.
