Thanks John,
Of course you have to be careful about what's said.I should have used better sense than to ask you a question like that.It just really bothered me to see how hard a couple of these busted up players have it,with the Union seemingly not giving them the time of day.
Please don't respond to this.
The older x-players I feel for because they didn't make much money compared to todays players. I don't have much pity for the younger ones and you wouldn't either if you knew just how much money they make. I'm not talking abouttheir contracts either. (although that is a lot these days).With a good agent an average NFL player can make a boat load ofcash in otherways, speaking engagements, endorsements, major brand sponsors, etc...
Don't feel too bad, most of the time they are in that situation due to poor money management. There are exceptions of course.
