For that cost around the stadium he could have bought a mansion right across the street from Mario. Or could have bought the house TO rented.
At 5k a month, he could have bought a million dollar house in Amherst, Williamsville, Clarance, etc...
It really is part of the problem with these athletes. EJ is an intelligent person (at least he seems like it) but he's getting bad information/advice from others, Agents, etc... No wonder why guys like TO, Henry, Young are broke. They listen to their idiot agents. It's no surprise, the agents make then millions, then they advise them to "waste" it all. Then they plant bugs in their ears that they need more money.
For 5k a month in western New York, EJ could live like a king.
