Vince Young squanders millions

Six years after entering the NFL as the third player taken in the draft, Vince Young finds himself without a team and with just a fraction of the money he received from a contract that guaranteed him $26 million.

The question is, where did it all go?

In an increasingly caustic war of words, attorneys have been arguing for months over whether Young is an out-of-control spender who put himself deeply in the hole or simply a victim of inexperienced advisers, one of whom was his own uncle.

What else is money for if not to be spent? :fuelfire:

See, the War on Poverty would work if we just gave them a few more dollars in welfare and a few more foodstamps.

Reminds me of a story my FIL use to tell about the redistribution of income aboard a troop ship. He contended there were always a few who ended up with most of the money of the others.  Financial evolution I guess you could call it.  Then too, never bet against the house ( or the guy who brings the deck). :whistling:
