    My best friend's father-in-law was a linebacker for the Bills in the 70s and 80s. He spent just about all of the money he made on drugs and selling meat (yes, meat, like you'd eat) door to door. While he still has some money left and two condos that he bought while playing, he lives a pretty average life. You'd be surprised what a lot of pro athletes are like outside of games and after retiring.

      Bob Gaiters. He told me so many crazy stories.
      First he was a rookie and Frank Gifford told him to hire an agent. In those days it was unheard of.
      The NY Giants fired him for hiring an agent. LoL
      Then he told me his first NFL game ever
      He thought he was a bench warmer. He ended up playing every play. He said he couldn’t walk for a week, till the next game. LoL.
      Then I asked him about Mike Vick losing all his money. He got real mad and said
      “I had to fight for every dollar I got
      I don’t feel sorry for idiots doing stupid stuff”
      He had a little white dog named sugar.
      He had it off leash. One time I was talking to him

    Sadly people, not just celebrities, allow themselves to be so overcome by money and fame that they don’t think about the consequences or cons that can happen. It’s more ridiculous how some become so rich that once they have everything they want and have nothing else to spend their money on, they turned to drugs and get destroy by it. But than again, I can’t feel sorry nor feel any sympathy for them because their poor choices lead them to where they are now.

    The Toronto Argonauts (officially the Toronto Argonaut Football Club and colloquially known as the Argos) are a professional Canadian football team competing in the East Division of the Canadian Football League (CFL), based in Toronto, Ontario. Founded in 1873, the team is the oldest existing professional sports team in North America still using its original name, as well as the oldest-surviving team in both the modern-day CFL and East Division.

THEN, worry about the other bills like insurance/property taxes. I've lost count of how many lottery winners were booted from their houses because they couldn't pay the freaking mortgage. Excuse me?
