    Are you saying that there is something wrong with having multiple children who are 3 years old?

    That article is 2 years old. I'm sure that list would look a lot different if it was updated.

    I find it amazing that Wilt Chamberlain has claimed to have slept with almost 20,000 women and has no kids.

    I thought I read an article that he was going broke. I don't understand why athletes don't get Fixed. It's simple.

    Save some in a cup

    Get Fixed (100$ Copay Max)

    Get all the tail you want

    Save Millions of $$ on child support

    yes I heard that too, but he made at least $80 million dollars at one point, how do you spend $80 million dollars?? They're all losers in my book.

    Jalen Rose had an interesting podcast on grantland in late January/Early February (right after the one where he tells the story about how he stole Patrick Ewing's television) where the co-host asked him how (in reference to A.I. I think) it is possible to spend all that money, and Rose has a fairly logical explanation for it. Ridiculous but logical.

    I didn't see the podcast you speak of, but I can see how they do it. They live large, and spend money under the assumption they will always be making money like that. But sports careers inevitably end. And sports fans can be fickle, and unless you're one of the greats (Jordan, Gretzky, Favre, Montana, etc) and people care enough about you to have an endorsement career after your career is over, you're going to have to find another way to make money. Or at the very least learn to live within your means, which is apparently hard for many. I think many of these athletes get taken advantage of by the various hangers-on, and for many of them their own generosity (buying houses for family, loaning money to friends) bites them in the ass as well.

    It's very easy to spend a lot of money when you're making a lot. It's very hard to stop when the income slows down or stops.

    Plus you don't have a definite retirement date when you stop making the money. It'd be one thing if you knew my career is X long and I'm not likely to have a job that pays like this after that and start saving from there. On top of that, most of these kids, whether it be minor league ball players, to NBA stars grew up living paycheck to paycheck so when the money's good they spend their full paycheck. Even Notre Dame educated, Mike Golic, has talked about blowing through 90% of his first year's pay in the NFL in 3 months.

    Getting back to the fatherhood stuff it really sucks that we have these socially sheltered, primarily working-class, often poorly educated athletic prodigies given a 3 day camp to tell them how to act so the NFL/MLB/NBA/NHL can claim innocence so that when this shit happens we sit back and laugh. I am seemingly in the minority on this but if an occupation is set up so that 75 percent of your employees go bankrupt within a few years of working for you then doesn't this speak to the idea that their are issues with the whole setup? Even if you have no sympathy for the athletes at least how about the fatherless, or non-child supported children that are produced within this system?

    ....not baseball players because they get married and have kids at like 19, and not golfers because they are often on the course with doctors who can take care of that shit.

    so what are you going to do., force them to all sign annuity contracts?

    have the players association bring in shady money mgrs?

    not allow AI to have a posse?

    I heard something interesting on this yesterday where in europe players have to save a decent amount of cash in a retirement fund that they get when they are 40...not sure how true this is but that seems reasonable. I guess my thing is I don't get why we make fun of these people or act surprised when it happens to 3/4ths of the working population.

    seems like a reasonable idea to force them to save, but i doubt the players association would go along for that ride.

    i think we laugh at these people because we would like to think that if it were us, we would do everything right. it's the nature of our beast
