There was a great 30 for 30 on this subject. It was shocking, it sounds like the NFL is worse because at the end of the season, the checks stop coming and there were lots of players that were living hand to mouth in the offseason.
Vince Young went broke while he was playing.
Scott Eyre went broke while playing and had to ask for an advance on his salary
Travis Henry was completely broke while he played
John Arne Riis was broke despite earning 75k a week
Scottie Pippen made a comeback because he was flat a$$ broke due to his spending during his career.
Terrell Owens was completely broke when he was playing.
It happens more then you would think.
