Cromartie Rips into Union Reps

[GoHeels74]

My point is they don't see all that they make and we just hear big numbers and assume they keep it all.

Also, the majority of the players in the NFL aren't making nearly as much money as you think they are.

I know the majority of the players don't make what Cromartie makes. A guy like Julius Peppers will never have to worry about money as long as he lives but guys like Tyrell Sutton may have it tough if there is a lockout. I just don't want to hear players bitching about not getting paychecks when unemployment in America is so high right now.

I don't see "owners" there, shitcock

Ok look at it another way.

A guy talks crap about someone who is representing them

A guy talks crap about someone who he is opposed to.

Which has more significant ramifications.

Honestly. I bet you couldn't.

Simply buying a house would wipe out a pretty sizeable chunk of that. If you decide not to buy just to save money on the immediate, then you are costing your kids money in the future as they can't rent it out or sell it.

Simply having that money there would make you want to send your kids to a slightly nicer school, or settle some crippling debts.

I suppose you could just live a normal life with $1 million in the bank, but then you wouldn't be living off of it.

Well I'm just 20, no wife no kids so what I meant was me, myself and I could live off $1 million.

Ah ok. Well then yes, one single person could live off that, maybe. If you ever had dreams of becoming less than single, or develop any serious hobbies, you might be struggling. Especially if you need physio for the rest of your life after being pounded by 300lb+ football players every week.

Being younger you have less of a chance of living off that $1mil.

If you live to be 60, that's only 25k a year. If you live to be 80, that's only 17k a year.

Give it up, we'll forgive you :Angel_anim:

[GoHeels74]

Alright guys maybe I should've used the word "survive" instead of live.

[Matthias]

I don't buy the whole "we got to feed our families" thing coming from guys who makes millions of dollars by signing their names on a contract. If Cromartie messes over the money he received during his career, who's fault exactly is that? Carson said he could pretty much quit right now and live off the money he's made, and I'm willing to bet alot of players could do just that, if not most. Besides, perhaps Cromartie could borrow some money from Revis and pay him back later.

For the guys who didn't make alot of money in the NFL, get regular jobs for a year. Humble yourself, or be humbled.

With a million I could get a 5% return and clear 50k a year and still never touch my million.

You guys really don't plan on either paying taxes or spending any real money huh?

Sacrifice your body and live in a 1 bedroom apartment and drive a Volvo while your brain deteriorates until you finally commit suicide.

With good investments, and a steady job, a million is more than enough to live off of for the rest of a person's life. Obviously that million won't be the only amount of money they will have for the rest of their life. Yet it is more than enough to support anyone who is good with managing money. You will put that million to work for you, to make more money.

[Ricky Spanish]

I loled at the bluntness of his comments.

Have you heard most of these guys talk? Do you know a company that's going to hire someone who weighs 350 pounds and take on that insurance risk?

Where the fug are they going to work? NFL network can only hire so many intolerable ex players that think they know what's happening on the field.

Well, let's hope they learned something while in college. And once again, the thing is this lockout would last a year at most. (No owner would continue a lockout for more than one season) If players fall off the edge of the earth in one year of no paycheck worth millions of dollars, then something is very wrong. Warner bagged groceries for a time, and I'm sure he had a family to support.

[TheRealDeal]

I'm not arguing against the year thing but it's funny how many people think they can live off x amount of dollars "forever."
