So I was re-watching 30 for 30: Broke

[Pesci]

I gotta admit I didn't know who Tyron Smith was until I googled him just now.

How you gonna demand 850k for a house? Wouldn't his parents live in Texas with him? 850k in Texas probably buys you like half of El Paso.

It says he's only 23 though so if he's smartening up and cutting people off that young, maybe he's got a good chance to do well financially.

yeah i got it from this article http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/page...yron-smith-gets-control-battling-family-money

his sisters showing up to intimidate his wife is fukked too

Did he try to go pro straight out of HS?

yup.
was a big thing back then. remember, with all the Kobes and Tmacs and shyt there were your Joe Blow muthafukkas coming outa HS too. So everyone was tryna to feast.
shyt, myself, a few colleges was on my shyt. PITT, Cincinatti, Wake Forest. I got shot and it was pretty much a wrap.
But I had a few friends that were real good and didnt pan out. Not in the A but some of them went overseas and did some good things.

What?
I thought I read a few years ago that he was still living at home and saving money.



And that dude signed a huge contract with Philly too

he let his family handle his finances for most of his career. this summer he watched a tv show about athletes going broke and decided to check out his finances himself. turns out his mother especially, but brother and father as well, had taken millions of $ without telling him. We he cut them off, they sued him for unlawful contract termination



and dont get me started about paying a guy $25 million per year to hit .225

It's sad man but I couldn't help laughing at that

I mean basketball has the longer career path of what like 8 years or something? Thats compared to a bare minimum of 43 years working if you're a normal US citizen.

The average NBA career is four years. But the difference is, even if you flame out in the NBA you can still go play overseas and make bread (It more than likely won't be millions but you'll still get a good 6 figures). In the NFL if you can't cut it then it's a wrap basically.

I knew a dude unknown athlete years ago had a chance to get on with the green bay packers just as a special teams player.. dude had his dad and uncle as his agent.. dad demanding green bay to offer his son starter type money and he was just trying out. Green bay laugh and threw him to the bushes

 

[Da_Eggman]

It's wild, man.

The dude who said he opened up a joint account with some woman he was dating.

Dude said he had 1 million in the account.
They get into a fight...he takes her and her whole family to Jamaica a few weeks later...and he checks his account and 600k is missing.

She told him that after the fight she took the money out because she was afraid he was gonna leave her.

Man, 600k?????
Hey man, I'm not suggesting violence but a lot of women would be dead if they took 10k from a man. Imagine half a mil?

That shyt boggled my mind how the fukk you ever gonna open up a joint account with just a bytch ur dating just asking to get robbed
