The AntiFin Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 The story behind it- http://jocksandstilettojill.com/2011/06/eagles-wr-desean-jackson-drops-25k-at-colony-club-in-l-a/ So that entire two-hour excursion cost him $25K? That was just for drinks BEFORE dinner? WOW. Actually, $8 for bottled water in Los Angeles is quite reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth on hold Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Silly eagles sitting him against cards to prove some disciplinary ethic. This was a winnable must win game with him in. They could have sat him for the first possession or something. Bunch of losers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billshank Redemption Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 ill be honest his contract situation has been much different for ones I'm used to seeing prior at least him being an absolute dumbass, blowing all his money, and being completely broke makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The AntiFin Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Michael Vick = arguably the worst thing that ever happened to Jackson on the football field. Yes, that includes fumbling the ball TWICE before taking it in because he was showboating. http://youtu.be/pH1H13nl01M He's a tool in more than one way.

C.Biscuit97 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 He's an idiot for how he spends his money. That said, he is severely underpaid given his production. He is still getting paid on a 2nd round rookie contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 so he goes out and spend roughly 5% of his salary in one night. I bet a lot of guys are into their agents for money. I mean borrowing based off future earnings(or potential earnings) Its probably a way the agent keeps the player loayl to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Not to mention he's having a mediocre year and giving the Eagles good reason to question if he's a dependable #1 WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Yeah, when you blow it all on clubs and jewels, I've got absolutely no sympathy. I know there are a few stories of pro athletes being taken advantage of for crappy investments; that's an area where I'm at least more sympathetic. Although, you know, they should still be able to not lose ALL their money that way. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Speaking of Ace of Spades champagne... Jay-Z popped $250,000 worth at a night club...yes, thats a quarter million and not a typo. I get him doing that with all his wealth is nothing more than if I dropped $250 at the club. However, I just don't know how one can justify that when they walk down the street and see all the homeless people out of work in this economy or the disasters in Haiti, Japan, N.O., or the Buffalo Bills , etc who could have all used that money for something so much more substantial than showing off to a bunch of people in a club with some champagne that they would never in a million years be able to identify over a $12 bottle of Brut from the grocery store. Jay - Z drops $250k on champagne I get spending money on luxurious things if you worked that hard to make that money, and I know some of these people give to charity...but still, obscene blatant wastes of substantial money like this is just absurd. Not to mention, my friend has produced music videos for Jay-Z and she said he is a huge d**k head who actually spit on her on 9/11 because her staff couldn't get his dailies (tapes from taping a video that day) to LA from NY because air traffic was shut down for 9/11 attacks.

silvermike Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Why? I said I'm more sympathetic - those things show up because the guy is trying to take care of his money, and ends up getting taken advantage of. A 22-year-old who's never been rich before, people come up to him and say "Look, your career won't last forever, you're going to need to have something after football, come work with me, we'll start putting together restaurants with your name on them, you'll make a fortune in real estate, etc." I don't resent a player who loses his money that way (I think that's how Brunell went broke, more or less). This is in contrast to a guy who spends $2,000,000 on booze, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
