[QUOTE="Voyageur, post: 947718, member: 17953"] I remember a comment made by one of the announcers during a game. He referred to the guys on NFL rosters as guys being members of the "millionaires club." The fact is, after two years in the league, most of these guys have made more money than most of the posters out here will have made over the course of their lifetime. Plus, by and large, they've had access to what was essentially a free education, and have residual incomes that will be theirs over years to come. Most will also have access to other income sources, like getting paid tens of dollars just to sign their name on a piece of paper, a shirt, a football, or a helmet. For many, there will be money paid to them to speak at public locations, or to advertise products. They will also be offered jobs with nice incomes, if they want them, just because of their name recognition. For those that fail to achieve this level, I offer my sympathy. But, they still got a hell of a lot more to start their lives than most of us who started by fighting for our nation in the military, went on to school and ended up in nearly hopeless debt, and have spent the rest of our days digging our way out, so we had a decent amount left to retire on. So, I guess I'm one of those people that believes these guys need to learn how to live within affordable boundaries, just like the rest of us have had to do over the course of our lifetimes. It's what life is all about! [/QUOTE]
