This is an athlete who in 14 years made over $80 million. He recently was interviewed saying he is in a "living hell" and basically a giant sob story. Sorry I don't have any tissues for you TO, because I don't feel bad, even if you were on my team for a bit.
One of Terrell Owen's famous quotes was, “Like I always said, if I'm one of the top players in the game, pay me like I'm one of the top players in the game.”
They did.
Even though he was a problem on any team, teams would pay him the big bucks. With almost every team he was on, except Buffalo (go figure), he was extremely productive and usually had good years.
Then he tore his ACL, Purdue fans know that too well, and now no one wants him and he's now bitching about how no one wants him.
He talks about where his finances have gone. He doesn't get into too much detail except for:
- He pays $45,000 a MONTH for child support, he has four kids with four different women.
- He pays $750,000 annually for the mortgages on his houses.
So in short, during his 14 years of playing, he spent roughly 10 dollars every minute. That's insane to think about.
It's amazing to me that an athlete that was given so much can squander it all away. Though he claims it wasn't done to himself, he was too nice to others and that's why he has no money.
Now, I don't have a lot of money to begin with but i am nice to others yet I still have my money. He should of been preaching that money isn't everything, though I guess you can't when you have a lot of it.
In one of his interviews TO said, "The only people that really matter are the people that are in my inner circle.”
I guess not anymore, you should of been nicer to the people who sign your paycheck.
