Correct, Irsay is notably cheap in that regard.

Unless it is a guitar from a Rock icon.

Adrian Peterson, another athlete who banked close to 100 million dollars is now in debt.

You just hate to see it.

He can say people took advantage of him..... but he hired them in the first place.

Then theres this -



Rovell mentioned after that it cost 7% of his career earnings. I'm not against having a crazy birthday bash, but first class travel for THREEHUNDRED people ??!!!!!!

Looking forward to the 30 for 30 Broke, Part 2. Michael Vick & AP star in it.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

It was first class travel for 300 people. The party cost $7 million.

Also doesn’t Adrian Peterson have like 8 kids with 6-7 baby momma’s!?

This man couldn’t go to Costco and invest a huge box of Durex...but he can afford a f***ing camel for his 30th birthday.

This ******

Chargers have apparently offered upwards of 11 million a year to Melvin Gordon. Would make him the fourth highest paid RB in the NFL. Behind Todd Gurley, David Johnson and Le'Veon Bell.

Given the market on runningback deals this is probably about what you'd expect. He's not as good as the guys making more money than him but he's still a damn good back.

a guy who spends 7 million on his own bday party is exactly the kind of guy you can successfully take advantage of

This seems more than fair, I hope he agrees to it.

If the party costs 7 million dollars, I'm sure that the camel isn't one of the most expensive items there.

Even if he would've made double the amount he has in his career he probably would still be broke by now. Can't say I feel a lot of sympathy for him though.

Also, why didn't he invest in some real estate, stocks, shares earlier in his career?
I'm sure he did at some point but there is no excuse how he can run out of money so fast..

AP is just another name in the long list of pro athletes who have pissed away all their career earnings.

Tbh I don't really feel sorry for him. If you are going to pay child support for 8 kids to 6 different women and blow $7 mill on your birthday party, you deserve what you got. There's stupid and then there's AP.

LMAO I woke up to this

RIP Legend.

So the Falcons TRADED UP to draft a guy in the 1st round who had 2 heart procedures and now has to have a 3rd?

f***ing brilliant.....

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

RIP Legend.

He was good on inside the NFL back in day with Dawson as hosts

He also was one hell of a football player back in the day too. Sad. RIP.

****ing brilliant.....

Wondering how the risks were presented by medical people before the draft and how it was decided that the risks were worth the trade up/1st round selection.

RIP

 

[Dominator13]

Nobody discussing the TOP 100 here?

 

[Tuggy]

 

[Blitzkrug]

His agent is being ridiculous.

Chargers offered 10 and up to 11 according to some reports a year. Still would put him in the top 5 paid RBs in the league either way.

He wants more money than Bell, Gurley and Johnson. Is he better than those 3? I'd argue no.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Don't see much of a trade market for a holdout RB as shown by Bell situation last year
