    According to today's Chronic:

    "If you wanted to write a manual about how to go into bankruptcy, Vince's story would be it," said Ed Butowsky, a Dallas financial adviser who contributed to an ESPN Films documentary about the money woes of pro athletes. "It's a classic example of all the things that can go wrong." "(Young) invested in private, illiquid investments, and he overspent," Butowsky said.

    My question is this: Exactly what are " private, illiquid investments"? Are we talking snow cone stands and car washes here? (Those of you who saw "Broke" will understand the question).

    The guy is a genius. Rumor was that he enrolled into the remedial program at UT. Damn shame for that one kid who busted his/her ass but didn't get in to UT and had to accept UTSA as a consolation.

    VY bought in millions to the university. Who cares what other kid did. It isn't like UT is that selective either to start with.

    That's perfect timing- imagine if the texans had Keenum, VY, & J. Football on the roster (schaub will be qb coach), how awesome houston sports talk radio could be next year.

    Um, unless that kid could run a 4.4, bench 300 and/or had a 4 or 5 star Rivals rating, there is no impact.

    Off topic - Was it you? How did you like UTSA?

    So does ambassador mean he will get paid to show his face every now and then?

    At least he will get there earlier than he did with the Packers. He'll probably last as long.

    Wow, VY seemed to know and stuck to his (NFL) guns -- he could compete for a starting spot next year in Cleveland -- amazing.
