rocwocka Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I had no idea that he was this productive off the field... last i knew he had 7 http://www.cnbc.com/id/41312370?slide=8
truth on hold Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Some interesting names on that list. We all knew about Henry, Vick and LT, but I wasn't aware that Johnny U and Mark Brunell also filed.
DasNootz Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 $180k per year in child support for 11 children doesn't seem overly excessive to me. Weren't his career earnings close to $20 million? I also remember hearing that he was turned down for $10k in credit at a furniture store in Tennessee while he was with the Bills. Some interesting names on that list. We all knew about Henry, Vick and LT, but I wasn't aware that Johnny U and Mark Brunell also filed. I believe Deuce McAllister just filed recently too... After making something like $70 million, he lost a bunch with a bad car franchise.
stony Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 That's sad for some of these guys. I better get a good financial advisor after I win Mega Millions tonight. However, I don't have pity for LT or Travis considering how they lost theirs.
DC Grid Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Further proof that Tom Modrak has no idea what he's doing! Trading a great guy like Henry for only a 3rd rounder, what a bonehead.
Wagon Circler Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Further proof that Tom Modrak has no idea what he's doing! Trading a great guy like Henry for only a 3rd rounder, what a bonehead. Pretty sure our scouting director does not actually make trades.
KD in CA Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I noticed a recurring theme on that list: "personally guaranteed loans". That is almost always a huge mistake if you are investing in some risky business scheme. It's one thing if you are starting your own business (doing something you know about) and will be working 80 hours a week to make it a success, but for guys like this to just toss out cash and then sign up for a big loan on top of it for some half-baked restaurant or real estate deal is just terrible. It's sad that these guys either don't get any intelligent advice or are too stupid to listen if they do.

John from Riverside Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Loved Travis Henry the player.......

Buffalo Barbarian Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Dear Travis, Next time, try a condom. That wouldn't be gangsta Fixed.
boyst Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 This is why the NFL players need even more money! If Deuce would have only made $80mil, or Rocket Ismail would have been given more money to do nothing in the NFL they'd never be bankrupt. The NFLPA should not focus on getting more money for their players and instead work on using what money they have to treat the players better. It is, again, further proof that unions by-in-large fail more then succeed. And, I am not saying the owners are exactly right, either.
truth on hold Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Loved Travis Henry the player....... I liked him too. He single handedly won some games for us ... more so than McGahee or Lynch ever did. Assuming his off field problems didnt crater him here, we would have been much better off keeping him and using the 1st round picks on McGahee and Lynch somewhere else.

Unions led to the greatest standard of living that Americans ever had. the problem with unions was corruption and mafia ties which need to be eliminated. Unions are dieing because of NAFTA and some day we will be back to minority rich and majority poor just where the rich want us, under their thumb being thankful for scraps while they laugh in their luxury.

I mean really... if ugly was electricity, he would be a power plant.

Unions have not been relevant since the Charleston was popular. When sweatshops were around there was a reason to support them and now they are just another corrupt entity in this country.
The Jokeman Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Loved Travis Henry the player....... Don't hate the playa, hate the game. Yet seriously, a shame Donahoe got wrapped up in Willis McGahee as one has to wonder had we drafted say Eric Steinbach or Dallas Clark instead what Travis could have done here long term.
