Wussification of Pro Football: Raiders Player Suspended for Season

[benenglish]

Heard of a projected top 10 draftee who fell hard in the draft, and got a small signing bonus. Too bad for him bought a $100K car, 100% financed.

Understood. But I was thinking more about the ones who retire and lose everything to crooked advisers or family or just their own greed. You'd be surprised at some of the big names of the past that are now virtually paupers even though when they retired from the NFL they had enough money to last most people 5 lifetimes.

High School football will be classified as professional soon. They are going to let college players get paid in California. I hope they get contracts that require the ex jocks that report to pay for using their name.

I love stories like that.
