Compare your own personal achievements to that before casting stones.
What, so nobody is allowed to say it's a bad idea to blow the after-tax portion of $15 million unless they are a former NHL enforcer who scored 5 playoff goals in a run to the Stanley Cup finals?

Tough crowd.

As for me, if I compare my own personal achievements to Chris Simon's, I find two things really leap to the eye:

1. I never played in the NHL, and consequently never earned $15 million (or any sizeable fraction thereof).
2. Despite this, I never went bankrupt.
