Correct, and Reggie played a few more years and he also started a cookie company as maybe he made some great cookies. The company is still operating according to a web search.

No doubt. 1 mil if you invest it conserveitively would provide you with about 50k or so a yr in interest. But start subtracting when you cut into the principal of it. And you can do better then that with it as well but that'd be riskier and tough to maintain as you said if you start young and plan to do it a long time. Honestly 1 mil be it before or especially after taxes in any state isn't all that much. Feds take their chunk regardless of which party is in white house.

Some people seem to think Taylor is a great running back. He's a good back but if Barkley were in school this year, Taylor would get second or third mention. The game is changed so much since the first have of the 2000s. The defenses are less hard hitting but the players are better schooled. Along with adding more games the rules have changed. The game was tougher back then. A guy like Bob Sanders would have to change his game today. Eddie George played in a tougher era, not just the number of games but back when laying the wood on a guy was expected. Now a good hit is more likely to get flagged.

Crazy thing is, with that kind of money, you can invest pretty conservatively...no need to take big risks. Boggles the mind. I know a few NFL players and they have nice, but not extravagant houses. Kind of thing you'd expect a successful professional guy in his 40s to have. Some guys go ape shit with the 22 room mansion. For what? to impress the hos and your hangers-on?
Well we have had a little bit of money (nothing serious) and I have been flat broke.
Thing was when I had a little, I had cars and boats and toys and just a bunch of stuff.
I was constantly working on my new yard, keeping up with the maintenance of...... everything. I wasn't very happy. The bigger the house, the longer it takes to clean it. Then one day I started thinking about all the money going out and for what? It really wasn't making my life better.
Now days I'm just pretty simple. We do spoil ourselves now and again, but mostly we just keep it simple and we are content with that.
My point is that a million can make things easier and allow you to retire early or whatever, but if you are buying 100,000 dollar cars and big fancy houses and making payments on them, your interest on loans cuts into your interest on investments.

Dude should have changed his name. All he needed to do was remove the I and change the Z to an S.

Too bad he can't back it up on the field. He will be like most of the big name linemen out of Wisconsin. He'll get drafted and be a starter and get a shitload of holding penalties called and when he can't hold every damned play he'll just slide down the depth chart.

Remember Chuck Cecil?
He'd last about one quarter in today's game. Dude was like a kamikaze with his hair on fire bearing down on unsuspecting ball carriers.

This is huge. Their best defensive player and they lose a ton on that defense. Hopefully we can exploit an inexperienced defense early in the season.

Chuck was a DB with Green Bay back in the late 80s/early 90s. He sacrificed his body to the point that Sports Illustrated once had him as the cover story with the title, "Is Chuck Cecil Too Vicious for the NFL?"
This is worth watching on Youtube. I actually remember the game well. Cecil blew up Dave Meggett so many times that late in the game he would run out of bounds to avoid the hit. Even the Giant fans were laughing.

"Form tackle by Cecil." LOL. The guy hit him in the earhole with the crown of his helmet. Just watched some Atwater highlights, too. What a savage. Those guys have to be in terrible shape today.

Wow. I was out of the country for a lot of 80s don't remember him at all. Interesting!
CTE probably.
