No sympathy for this clown. Not only did he squandor his earnings as a football player but he must have squandored his earnings from endorsements and reality TV shows which must have earned him millions as well. Nice to see some people actually get what they deserve.

I believe the NFL has the same thing.

This really isn't that uncommon. Athletes trust the wrong people -- who are looking to make a buck -- and can't say no to their friends, families, and hangers on.

I think the better advice would be "Keep it in your pants."

I have absolutely no sympathy. One my least favorite athletes. Tell him to go throw Jeff Garcia or Donovan McNabb under the bus now...

Well it appears you have an emotional motivation to wish him ill. What if he was a "hellofaguy" or a "good guy" that was in these dire straits?

Would he become more deserving of your/our graces?

Locker room cancer? Sure. Arrogant? Sure. Selfish, self-centered, ego-centric, and self-seeking? Sure. A defacer of the Dallas Star? Sure. A thrower-under-the buss...er of respectable and dedicated athletes? Sure. Someone who had no respect for the transition of an Iconic athlete such as Jerry Rice? Sure.

But on the bright side, I think he praised one Brett Favre for his bravery, he is a multi-sport athlete as he likes to play a little b-ball, has high praise for "his quarterback" when the Cowboys lost to the Giants... he holds televised workouts and has pretty good abs.

Won't you give him some money? I know I know... he made a lot of money. But... HE SPENDS A LOT OF MONEY!

I'm bet he attended the University of Tenn. on a full scholarship too, taking away a space and money that might have actually benefited some other kids who would have learned something.

What a total waste.

Typical dumb, clueless, arrogant pro athlete with a huge sense of entitlement. Too stupid to handle his wealth correctly, on top of fathering a slew of illegitamate kids, which is also par for the course these days.
All he cared about was satisfying his own desires and needs. Anyone with a modicum of common sense would be financially set for life with the earnings that this dumbass narcissist earned.
