In Burkie's early days when he was doing player representation, he had a policy of managing their finances also.
If you were going to sign with him, you can only spend X on a car. You can only spend X on clothes a month. Too restrictive for you? Wonderful, he can find you a yes-man agent instead to help you blow it all. But if you want to sign with him these are his rules.
Heck he even had legally binding agreements in place with financial advisors to his players that they could sue the advisors if they lost their money.
Every agent handling a young superstar getting handed a huge bonus should have been like Brian Burke.
