You can never have a big enough posse, too much jewelry, or too many rims for your rides.

I read that last year during the lockout, he took out some kind of high-interest, high-risk loan and wasn't able to pay it back.
Today, he posted on Twitter that he was moving to Texas. And also something about business opportunities down here. I hope he has a good advisor.

This doesn't surprise me in the least bit, but he is one of many.

Not surprising he was always a very talented athlete, but not very smart. I still remember his infamous game winning touchdown against USC in the National Championship Game in 2006. Definitely one of the greatest moments for me as a sports fan. Shame to see one of my favorite Longhorns fall so far.

The league should setup a mandatory trust for these guys and put 10% of their rookie contracts in it at the outset, allowing them to opt-in a larger contribution over time. They might do that already, I don't know. But there's no excuse for these guys growing broke a year after the exit the league. It's ridiculous.
When asked whether Jason Garrett is the right head coach for this team: "I don't think there is anyone else that could. I think he is an unbelievable coach. We've responded to him and he has made us better football players, better people. If you watch us I think we play with a certain relentless spirit." --Sean Lee

Greed. Always about greed.
$26 million invested securely would generate probably $200,000 a year income even after taxes. Maybe more. And he was getting his yearly salary as well. Not sure what that was but probably in the area of at least $500,000 a year. If you cannot live on that you are worthless.
