Whats the deal with all the talk recently regarding additional money & cash flow for players of professional sports after they exit their sport whether it be from standard retirement, injury or even death? We are now inundated with griping from ex-NFL guys who feel slighted because they aren't getting 'taken care of' now after years of abuse their bodies endured. There was even a cause for concern about recently deceased Sean Taylor. Obviously a tragic event and incredible loss . . . and he was a millionaire. He had/has a daughter who a fund was set up for . . . my questions is WHY? Where is the personal responsibility? Is it conceivable that the child of a multi-million dollar-earning parent (who has passed) is in danger of financial malnutrition? Seems odd to me. If I were to "go" unexpectedly, my offspring would be taken care of - this is not because I earn millions (hardly), but because you take the standard precautionary measures to assure your 'T's are crossed if something were to happen.

Not all NFL players are created equal and the majority of them do make millions, but you have to remember that gets spread around to agents, trainers, ex-wives, legal fees, shrimp cocktail, and insanely expensive car insurance (as it was said in the movie The Replacements "You have any idea what insurance on a Ferrari costs?")
Sure, they could drive a used Geo...but seriously, who would want to?
