No chance the Falcons see $20 million from Mike Vick. How much can he actually have left after paying his agent and taxes? He will file bankruptcy next year.

 

There is a chance that thisruling could get overturned.

 

Has Vick set up residence in Florida yet a la OJ?

Some of the loosest bankruptcy laws in the United Sates.

 

He can't leave the state of Virginia.

 

1. Prison.
2. Loss of millions in endorsements.
3. Loss of salary, having to return $20 million in bonuses.
4. Being sued for $2.5 million by a bank.
5. Being sued by rental-car company for whatever.

All because he couldn't leave the thug life behind?
Message to future pro sports stars: is keeping it real worth that much? Don't think the homies can help you in these situations.

 

Charles Barkley has said this over and over. When you are rich, you have to make new friends. The old ones will bring you down and suck you dry.

 

The first year I made more than $30,000 I left most of the old ones behind.

 

You're quoting Chuck? I would pick someone else but I understand where you are going.
Vick isn't a thug. He's made stupid decisions but I wouldn't say he's a thug. Far from being one, IMO.

 

Hey, Chuck is a very wealthy man who translated his money earned playing sports into greater riches. Jordan, Keyshawnn (spell) and Tiki all come to mind as being able to do the same thing. Not many athletes today seem to be able to do this. They just seem to spend it faster than they earn it.

 

I would slect another athlete besides Chuck about law issues. In fact of the list you gave, Tiki is the cleanest.

 

I was referring to Vick's eminent bankruptcy.
