Now, instead of Brees, slap Cam Newton on that story, put it on PFT, and start reading the comments.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

whats funny is i remember some athletes talking about the amount of money they spent on watches and people talking about how it was a good investment for some reason.

i think it's stupid either way.

[Mr. Scot]

"Good investment" equals "I wanted it / because I can".

Seriously, who the hell spends eight million dollars on a ring? You could buy multiple expensive houses for that amount.

Frankly, I don't care how much money I've got. I'm not spending eight thousand dollars on a friggin ring without a gun to my head and a knife to my balls.

I understand the market dictates an individual's income worth, but damn... people are just fine wasting millions while others live in substandard conditions.

This surely goes in opposition to the wholesome, Christian image he created. Well, he likely overpaid a PR firm to create that image for him.

This kind of investment strategy is why so many NFL players are broke 5 years after retirement.

Brees can kick rocks.  He isn’t claiming the dude scammed him with fake jewelry.  He was unhappy with it’s value years later.  Sucks.  People are unhappy when they sell their homes in down markets too.   

You can lose money when you invest in things.  

Hell, I think jewelry is a real dumb ass investment.  This trend differently different eras.  There was a time I couldn’t function without a watch on my wrist.  Felt naked.  Probably will never wear one again.   Especially the way technology goes.  One day soon someone could basically mass produce big beautiful diamonds that once cost a fortune.  You never know.

I hope he wasn’t really having cash flow problems. If so it’s his financial advisor he should be suing.

8 million less than what he could obviously be giving
