hondo in seattle Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Many, many years ago my mom tended to believe in the big dumb jock theory - that the guys who played football professionally just weren't bright enough to do anything better. Jack Kemp be damned! Here's yet another example showing how diverse football players can be - and how many succeed off the gridiron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think as you have seen the revenues rise in the last decade and a half in sports you have seen a much improved business sense. Athletes just blew money for years (see Iverson, Allen & Walker, Antoine). Now you have guys like LeBron, Peyton and even guys like Angelo Crowell. They stopped spending money like Floyd Mayweather and have tried to learn business. It has been, and will be extremely beneficial in the long run. The leagues have done a much better job too in teaching these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTS Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Movement broke ground on their new headquarters about three months ago just a mile from my home. I live right on the NC/SC Charlotte border (SC side). Companies are moving here left and right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Big whoop. All the guy is doing is being a middle man, much like a realtor. His company lines up funding commitments from other lenders and packages/sells the originated loans to those firms and/or institutional investors. Of the $8 billion in originations, virtually none of it is money put up by his own firm--nor is the total return he makes much more than a typical NFL QB's salary...

That's a pretty good deal if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 so you're saying he's making money for doing next to nothing. That's a pretty good deal if you ask me He was doing that in the NFL too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
