I remember this guy as a player but I didn't know he was in the financial business.

One thing I've never never understood about some athletes is the way they go through money. They should understand that they only have a few years to make the money they do. Most Pro athletes retire in their 30's. And those are the sucessful ones. They aren't going to make a lot of money after that. If this guy made over 30 million in his career, just conservative investments would have him set for life with a very good standard of living. This guy must have got greedy.

people who like to make money just don’t make money and quit....and live on investments

it’s more than that...it’s a mindset

plenty of big players like Murdoch for example still bet the farm

I remember a Suze Orman (no I don’t normally watch her) segment in which a young NFL linebacker and his wife were on to discuss their finances and determine if they could afford a third house. Suze denied them, and the wife gave a killer look like she wanted to rip Suze’s throat out.

Sorry about Dykstra. He was actually in my class in 9th grade before I moved away from Garden Grove, CA.
