She must be like, "I gotta get some extra cheese on my Whopper."

I don't know much about football, but why couldn't another team sign him? Too old?

The whole time he was in Philly I was astounded at the level of his moroninity. He's so dumb, he has no idea how dumb he is.

MattyFridays: I'm surprised that no one picked him up as an analyst. Surely he could make more money on TV than being in arenaball.

A) the IFL is not Arena Football - it's indoor football and it's played differently.
B) Yeah, he'd make a ton more in broadcasting - IFL players make $200/game with a $50 win bonus (at least as of a year or so ago). And I don't think part-owners are exactly making a ton of money off the venture, either.
C) Damn, I almost feel bad for TO now. Child support payments need to be re-calculated when people lose their millions-of-dollars-per-year job (not that they should ever really be that high)

A fool and his money are soon parted - and you reap what you sow.

MattyFridays: "Not from living a lavish lifestyle"?

If you burn 80 million in less than 15 years, YOU'RE LIVING A LAVISH LIFESTYLE.

Specifically, buying a house in NJ for $3.9M, having a multimillion dollar property in Atlanta, and a half-million dollar home in L.A.

And what do you think he drove? A Kia?

The dude made some bad investments, and it's easy to blame advisors. But the dumbass hired them.

Now, go play in the Canadian league, or get a booth job, or make personal appearances or something.

Who didn't think things would end badly for this guy? I can't decide if he thinks too much of himself to actually kill himself or if he could go through with it. He is certainly good at highly publicized so-called attempts at suicide.

Apparently he doesn't have 80 million reasons to not kill himself anymore.

Too bad no one ever got through to him to let him know what an asshole he is. Reminds me of that scene from the underrated and underappreciated Ricky Gervais/Greg Kinnear movie "Ghost Town."

Dr. Pincus, at some point in your life, you're gonna have to stop and ask yourself the ultimate question: This business of... being such a farking prick, what is it really getting me? Huh?

MattyFridays: 45,000 a year in child support I could see for four kids. A littler over 10k a year for each kid.

But he's spending $135,000 a year PER CHILD.

Where the fark does that money go?

Some of the best private schools in the country (only) cost $50k per child. 10k for clothes, necessities, etc.

Child support sucks for the truly wealthy. The payments are typically based on "standard of living" - which means if your kid was filthy rich when you were there, they're still filthy rich after you leave. Even if you lose your job or get cut out of your organization. You have to go to court to get the amount adjusted. The whole process sucks. But it sucks less than all the alternatives.

Now if only good divorce lawyers didn't cost $300 an hour, BEFORE they padded their fees.

The $80 million or so he had made in his career is almost gone, he said, but not because he lived a lavish lifestyle.

That's odd; I don't feel the slightest bit of sympathy.

$45K a month to raise a child? Little farker better cure cancer.

Daedalus27: Thats why you go to court to get an adjustment one way or the other. If you don't have the income when the award was made, you get it adjusted. Your going to have to prove it up, but it would definately be worth it to get the support payment down to something more realistic.

I suppose the difference would be eaten up by attorneys.

/marriage is sacred, see

Jack_Knopf: Sure his attitude is pathetic. However, what would yours be like if every person in your life was a leech out to strip you of whatever they can?

Exactly. Tough to say where it comes from first but I know most of the elite athletes are this way when they're in middle school or so - so I feel like it's more people around them.

MAYORBOB: Ask TO, Allen Iverson and practically any boxer ever managed by Don King.

Ask nearly anyone who has ever been poor and been given sudden wealth. Money management isn't an inherent gift or natural for people.

A black guy paying child support? Yeah, he must have pissed off the man upstairs.

why the hell should your kids ever need $500k a year in child support? that level is spousal support disquised as child support, nothing more. just because you are rich doesn't mean the kids mom has to live like the 1%.

dislesik or moronia or something, I has it.

welcome to America, Big Boy. u didn't think all those hangers on really liked YOU, did you? silly rabbit.

FTA: Owens also pays $44,600 a month in child support for his four children, ages 5 to 12. Three of the four mothers have sued him.

Oops.

My thought. Child support really needs to be capped. $1k a month per kid (obviously, this could be debated). More than enough for food, clothes, and public school. If it's actually about supporting the kid, that's about what you would need, right?

The problem with that is if the father has tons of money and the mother was a homemaker, then the two houses are unequal after the divorce. This makes the kids more likely to live with the parent that can provide all the goodies, leaving the other out in the cold. The courts try to rectify this situation by making the wealthier parent pay enough to give some semblance of equality for their quality of life. The problem with T.O. is that he hasn't gone to court to lower his support payments - which should happen if he can prove such a dramatic loss of income. The children (and thus their mothers) are not entitled to a quality of life that is higher than TO's, (or lower, for that matter). Do goldigging biatches take advantage of this? Absolutely. Should they see a reduction when they fark a guy who can't hold on to $80 million? Absolutely. The guy's a poor choice when he already has more than one babymomma.

//Everyone who mentioned the poor getting sudden wealth and going out of control is absolutely right.

who gives a shiat.
children do not get to pick who they live with.

foo monkey: Also "I don't have no friends," he told GQ. "I don't want no friends. That's how I feel." He's clinically depressed.

This. - which is not surprising. I've always thought much of the interpersonal problems TO had with players and coaches over the years was due to some kind of bipolar.disorder.
