Bradshaw probably made like $2M this year. Which means in 5-10 years he will be broke, without a job, and on welfare. A high percentage of athletes dont know how to spend/save their money. Look at T.O., made somewhere around $100M in his career and is completely broke. These guys overspend during their careers. The average NFL career is less than 4 years, so then they are under 30 and have no income for the rest of their lives.

Not for nothing but this sounds like comment made by a bigot..prejudging, anticipating the future of NFL players..

The numbers don't lie.....its a fact. Not just big name athletes either like Vick, Sprewell, Mike Tyson, etc to name a few....but hundreds, maybe thousands of other professional athletes end up broke....between over-spending, poor financial decisions, supporting their friends, etc....its a shame, but many times they get easily taken advantage of.

I think when you are young, and all of a sudden you are a multi-millionaire, the possibility to run wild and blow the money is always there.    Apparently, the NFL is big now on teams counseling the players on finances, etc.   

I can't imagine being 22 years old and making millions.....I'd blow it too, I am sure.     Look at the Rolling Stones.....they were multi-millionaires, then broke, then multi-millionaires again.

I wish I had that problem now!

As a postscript......and as a Giants fan.......I am looking forward to see what magic the Giants GM Jerry Reese can pull this year.     

For what he has done in his 8 years there, they should give this guy a lifetime contract.
