IIRC you make something like $500K a year just to warm the bench in the NFL. Why would he need to rob gas stations?

We see these big $$$ contracts in sports, all sports, from an outsider’s point of view.

They don’t get that $$$ in total. Uncle Sam gets a huge chunk right off the top, about 40%. Then the states and cities that the PLAY IN, not live in, gets their share when they come to town. Then, the state and municipalities they actually live in gets their cut. And their agent gets his 10-15% cut. So in the end he didn’t actually get $17 million, he got about a third of that........................

I blame the Union for failure to supply professional financial assistance to these players. The player earn enough to have a great life but in many cases are unable to control their finances. Same problem with many doctors and lawyers. So if the Union really cared they would have licensed, insured financial consultants the players could use.

Bentleys don’t come cheap, and are very expensive to maintain.

There are lots of people who never learned to live within, or beneath, their means.

He’ll get his NFL pension while in prison so he will have plenty of commissary money.
