FanNation - A return to football hasn't put financial trouble behind Dez Bryant. [According] to a source, Bryant's problems won't be completely solved until he earns more money or signs a new contract. Bryant faced two lawsuits in the spring seeking more than $850,000 from the Dallas Cowboys receiver. One of the suits was settled, but one is alive in Tarrant County. In the pending suit, Eleow Hunt, of Colleyville, alleges that Bryant and his adviser, David Wells, owe him about $600,000 for jewelry, sports tickets and repayment of loans. Bryant, beginning his second season, has four years left on a five-year, $11.8 million contract. He earned $2.84 million in 2010 in salary, signing and roster bonuses.

Stories like this always boggle my mind, like, the numbers just don't add up. Athletes have to be the only people dumb enough not to figure out how to live on salaries like $2.8 million a year. I mean how does this make sense? He's $850k in debt, with 2.8 million in income! Just pay the freaking debt! That's like if I lamented that I had a $1,000 credit card balance and went around claiming I couldn't pay it. Dude, you can pay that thing off in like 4 simple payments, just don't be a fucking tard with your money and you'll be all set. Maybe cancel the live at home strippers for a couple months and that'll free up some of your money, maybe tell mookie and ray-ray they need to get a minimum wage job for just this season because you gotta pay off your crews ice that you bought.
I mean, this isn't the US debt ceiling we're talking about, this is a softball. Even Treas. Secretary Paulson could handle this little problem. I mean, it really begs the question, who are these financial advisers to athletes? Like is anyone qualified? Do I have a shot at one of these gigs because I'm educated in common sense?
