like @BuddyOmar said, that gambling question is the most important one in here by far.

What does he think of people who never played pro ball who say how much they'd love to do that for a living, players should never complain with the money they make, etc.. Is the life really all it's cracked up to be?
Just wrapped up recording, I got most of the questions in. COULDN'T touch on DeAngelo Hall questions, drugs, gambling, etc. Couldn't have any type of dry snitching. I forgot to ask while recording, but he did say the Rock's character in Ballers was a good representation of that "wilderness" guys go thru in the first few years after retiring. I haven't seen it yet tho

Damn bro, I thought this was a trill thread by the title. I wish you would've asked him about the high school to college transition. For example, how much work did he put in at the high school level compared to his peers.

One school in in central FL basically offered him the ability to start day one and guaranteed that his brother or any other family who wanted to attend said school while he was there would have NO issues getting in w/ a lot of help with scholly & grant money. I know recruiting is a dirty game but that type of proposition doesn't get said if the top folks aren't on board
Another school in FL that he committed too then decommitted hooked him up with some of the baddest pawgs he's claim he's ever had. Also gave him so economic stimulus during his OV
I know for sure that one player from my area that committed to one SEC school but ended up going to another made a mess of his guardians plans because they got SERIOUS dough from a bag man and they were trying to find ways to lessen the blow when the kid flip flopped on them. It could've been on some Cam type ish but not the amount of dough.
I give props to the kids who put their peoples on and get them hooked up and a scholarship. Fck it, get paid whenever you can
He talked about it, and he surprised me with his answer. Podcast is uploading right now
I missed this thread before you did the podcast but I would've asked does he think college players should receive official compensation and if so in what form?

ok last question forreal...what are his thoughts on NCAA Football video game? What was the consensus of it when he was in college? did most guys care that their likeness was being used without pay or were they just happy to see themselves on a videogame?
make sure to especially ask him this one. it's from the heart
Let it go man........ just let it go............... 
I'm a confident speaker and all that but I stutter and talk too fast sometimes. I noticed that and also some slight editing issues I have to correct. I appreciate you listening
