Even Adrian Peterson would like to play for the Bills

Well, when you buy everything on credit and have crazy outgoing cash flow, and suddenly something happens, like you get cut and start making way less and you can't make cash flow...that's a rainy day. 

 

Some of the stuff on its own isn't something that loses a ton of value either, like super nice cars, houses, gold jewelry, except it's super customized...so they go to try and liquidate and realize they can't sell it, because nobody wants a $300k car with your initials on it, or some custom paint job...so again, rainy day. 

   He like many folk spend their way out of their wealth, you stay rich by hoarding your money/wealth, not by giving your wealth to retailers, or  loans to “friends”,   spend wisely, not to try to impress others. 

 
 Rampant consumerism is the down fall of many folk. He is just another example.

trying to invest and build business is hardly rampant consumerism.  

 

some star athletes like sports cars, etc.  they are not necessarily buying to "impress."  

 

A good financial advisor is key so you don't need to hoard your wealth, nor do you spend it all recklessly.  it's a fine line I think.

I’ve never understood how some of these guys just blow through that kind of money so quickly, I mean, how hard is it to hide five million in a trust for a rainy day????

 

Short-sightedness. They think their money is infinite. 

 

It's not about friends asking for hand-outs or investments, it's about feeling like you can afford to hand that money out.

The line is not particularly fine, and yes, hoarding/ setting aside a large amount of his wealth that is not to be put into high volatility financial situations is just basic common sense. He in effect wasted his money on ill conceived projects/expenditures, that’s why he is in the position he is in. Remember, He was already rich…, he did not need to do anything other that invest some of his wealth in conservative investment and collect the dividends, again he was already generationally rich…, he is a poster child for doing it wrong.

New Orleans doesn't need him. They've already got a RB charged with felony assault.

I don't condone "beating" anyone, but spanking and other forms of discipline are effective. And Peterson is not needed on our team

Just for clarity, Peterson beat his four-year-old son with a tree branch, which resulted in cuts and bruises to his back, butt, legs and *****. After the child's mother picked him up, and found the injuries, she turned Peterson into the police. When the police first interviewed him, he was calm, and cooperative, believing he had done nothing wrong. He was later indicted on a felony charge for reckless or negligent injury to a child, more commonly referred to as "child abuse."

Le’Veon Bell KO’d him back to 2012. Dude thinks he can still play 🤣

[Airseven]

Of course he would. Who’d turn down paychecks and playoff games? Only problem is he’s washed and irrelevant.

Some of these former NFL players are over the top arrogant. It’s almost comical.

As somebody who just likes to play devils advocate

 

We have all the holier than thou people saying get that child beater away from my team

 

Yet we have a woman beater and Aaron Kromer punched a kid in the face back in the day and both are bills employees 

[The Jokeman]

Even if he didn't beat the kids he's not at the age to be a consistent contributor so I'd bring in someone else well before considering AP.

You read it here first...the return of

[TheCockSportif]

Neat.  His signing would switch some people off.  Or maybe it's a bait 'n' switch.  Or maybe he'll switch to defense.  I wonder which player we'd switch him with.
