Agents give big advances (no interest loan) to these kids.

Totally legal. Agent gets it back when 1st deal is signed.
 
Grown men watching another grown man's pockets? Thats some sad ****! The majority of people itt should KTS.

I'm not mad at the kid, however, speaking from personal experience, I wish young men didn't have to floss so much....especially ones from the blocks. This may not be a big deal, but it could also show a future pattern.

I remember when I got off the streets and this cat taught me the real estate game at a young age, I made a grrrrrrrrrrip of $, b4 the market crashed. My investment? New Car, jewels, eating at restaurants I never thought I would b at, taking my frat out to "bars" (wink, wink) and paying for all their dances and conversation....not once did I invest in property, or getting myself a home, or having a money market or IRA account to save, b/c no one taught me that; and then in a blink of an eye, it was gone b/c the market crashed.

Fortunately I was able to recover some 4 1/2 years later, but it was a hard lesson to learn. These guys can be broke in a couple of years. Football have non guaranteed contracts. It starts with something as simple as 41k jewelry....no big deal; then it's the fancy car, then of course the homies gotta have what u have, b/c they grew up with you...then a couple of homes that are grossly over marketed....life is good, until an injury or the next rookie becomes better than you....no more income and u become broke within a couple of years.

My boy Bruce Walker from UCLA was, at that time, considered the number one recruit in the nation back in the 90's. Didn't believe him, so I had to look him up, b/c by the time I met him, he was a Barber Shop Owner, who slanged in the back...however his "wife" had a fat diamond ring on her finger. We talked, and he said how he was drafted in the 2nd round by NE, and he got paid, but so did his boys, and his wife's family, and his gold digging wife...when he died not too long ago, he died w/ nothing to his name.

Really wish the NCAA would make all schools have a mandatory pre-requisite for money marketing, b/c most of these kids don't know the value of the $....if Uve been in the hood all ur life, and everyone's in ur ear about how great you're going to be and you'll be the savior of the family, all you see is up front $, and lose sight of long term $. I want Artie to win; just hope this don't become a pattern.

this course is not going to help, and neither is the endless pageant of broke NFLers who speak to NFL rookies. either you have the smarts to spend wisely or you do not.

You need a school to teach you common sense? Has nothing to do with "education" and a college course on money management won' make a **** bit of difference... you didn't need anyone to "tell you" not to blow your money on strip clubs and gifts. Sometimes poor decisions are just poor decisions.
 
He earned it, and it's HIS money. But... At the end of the day he is the primary provider for his family so he has more responsibilities than a lot of these draft picks

LOL. This queen starts a sissy catty gossip thread then starts talking about pistol whipping another poster. This is awesome!

I can just picture this dude 252 with his perfectly manicured beard and waxed eyebrows yelling to his styling assistant, "Flan, get my piece! This uppity bytch needs a taste!" Flan frantically runs off with his feet femininely flopping out to the sides and returns with pistol with a pink crystal bejeweled grip and hands it to 252 like Alec Baldwin holding the GlennGary leads.

As 252 goes to grab the pistol with his manicured purple nails shining and his long pinky nail painted a glossy gold to show how unique he really is, he gets punched in the face 50 times with no answer, and Flan runs off screaming, "Lordy, this bytch gone crazy! He killing 2-5!"

Just caught up with Melvin Bratton. I'd say he threw water on the TMZ story, but it was more like a fire hose. I'll type something up quick.
 
Dude is ready to ball out. Reminds me of that one Martin episode, when Martin started buying all kind of issh before he got his lottery check. lol
