Remember the story I told you guys yesterday that Odell Beckham went on the Pivot podcast and said, it's hard, uh, to make $100 million and maintain any level of wealth. Apparently, the word on the street now, and again, don't believe everything you read, so I'll take you with a bit of a grain of salt because not only did he make just over $100 million in his playing career, he obviously made millions of dollars in endorsements as well. I don't know the exact number of that, but he made well over $100 million in his. Relatively short NFL career when you consider, you know, how he, uh, jumped on the scene on that Monday night, uh, for the Giants against the Cowboys with that one-handed catch. But, uh, I was watching a streamer yesterday with Odell Beckham on it, so this isn't like, by the way, it's now confirmed. There it is. What you're about to say. So Odell Beckham apparently is near bankruptcy, all right, and, uh, was, uh, I guess selling off some of his game warning game. Use memorabilia. One particular pair of cleats, I think sold for $50,000. I think the cleats he wore in the Super Bowl when he tore the ACL and had that great first half and had the touchdown. It looked like he might be in the running for Super Bowl MVP prior to going down with the non-contact torn ACL. So he went online or with the streamer and they did a live auction and the dude bought those cleats for $50,000. And there are reports out there. Which kind of back up his appearance on the pivot when he talked about how hard it is to maintain any level of wealth, even when you had a, a $100 million dollar contract, which tells me that the rumors out there are probably more right than not right, which is so incredibly sad also. Like, you know, a lot of people are gonna be like, oh, how dumb can you be to blow 100 million bucks. And then you're, you're, you're welcome to say that because for the far majority of us as Americans, we'll never see. $100 million in our lifetime. Most of us will never see $10 million in our lifetime. And when you see a guy who was given a gift at birth with athletic ability to get into the NFL, a lot of hard work goes along with that, to make over $100 million in a relatively short amount of time, let's say in his case a decade, all right, to make 100+ million dollars to wake up broke. That's crazy for most people. It is, it is, but, and I, there's a part of me that like I feel bad for him we've seen this because, you know, once you've had money, it's very hard to live without having money, and I've lived that not on that level where I made a lot of money. I filed bankruptcy. I was literally looking for change under couch cushions so that I could buy myself breakfast. Like I lived it, so I get it. So I have empathy for Odell Becker, for Antoine Walker. I know the guys that have blown through fortunes because I lived it. But there's also a part of me that's like, man, having enough of us experience publicly what we experience where the next generation will learn from our mistakes. Yes, but the, but the young men in general, because they, they talk about young men don't go to the doctors and a lot of things, it doesn't extend just to on the field. These guys also think they're invincible off the field. He believes. That he was gonna come back from these, these injuries, get back to the level of play that he was at, and make a bunch more money. And he didn't, I think his last year for the Dolphins he made just over a million dollars, and he was the guy that was for a small period of time, not even arguably the best wide receiver in the sports a three-year span where he was a 1300 plus guy every year. So it's just, but I, and here's the reality because I can hear it, not that the guys on stages are saying it, but I know how they think and feel, and maybe they represent more of America than you and I do. There's a sense of almost gloating from some people, like rooting for his demise, wanting to watch him suffer. Like get joy out of the fact that he blew $100 million. Now I'm not that guy because again, I didn't blow $100 million but I blew what I had and it's all relative to what you have. It's always relative. But you know, there's also an aspect of it, you know, they always say be careful who you step on on your way up. Because those are the people that are there on your way down too, right? And if you act like, uh, an arrogant a hole, I'm not saying Odell did, or you, you turn people off, you know, um, throughout your, uh, career based on, you know, the way your, your personality, your behavior, that kind of stuff, don't expect people to feel sorry for you when you hit rock bottom again.
