I, for one, am SHOCKED that such a well-adjusted, intelligent individual would be having money problems so early in his career.
I can understand paying for the cars, luxury jets, outrageous pool parties, drugs, and even the occasional dog fight. What I don't understand is the jewelry that these dudes spend for themselves to wear. You're a dude, dude! Dude's don't put jewelry on themselves. That ish is for the women so you can get them in bed. You're putting the cart before the horse, and I'm looking at you Jamarcus.
I believe this. Dez has had some rough stretches over the last year but nothing violent, just immaturity issues. I'll throw out a prediction. If Dez can stay healthy he will make the probowl. Most that spent time at Cowboy camp this summer said he is visibly the best player on the field.
There's always endorsement dollars! <object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Cpa0lYgSWh0&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Cpa0lYgSWh0&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></embed></object> <object width="640" height="390"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zO18BZxtC0g&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zO18BZxtC0g&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></embed></object>
He owes his soul to the company store. <iframe width="420" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Joo90ZWrUkU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Do these guys not listen to the life and financial adviser's that speak to rookies when they sign with teams? Gotta live that "Jeezy Life" life I guess. Sad and pathetic.
Its not the bling that sets them back as much as the Coke. Why do you think Michael Irvin works for NFL Network.
Where's the line between a big ol' piece and chain, and a fur coat? At least Dez has the talent to stay in the NFL...
I think to myself, how could someone blow so much money so quick... But then I realize I would probably do the same thing and never regret it.
