Ehh I think it’s pretty obvious he just made money off investments that eventually became more than what he was initially paid. In no world did a third round pick with middle class parents just never touch his paychecks. Don’t know why he feels the need to lie about this. Edit: Or he lived off the interest from some high interest savings account. His rookie year he made around 500k plus around a 500k signing bonus, so if he put that away and lived off of 5% interest and it made 7%, I suppose he technically never spent his paycheck. That still doesn’t factor in taxes, agents, and any other expenses he’d incur.
-
Also still wouldn’t make sense. Why pull from her salary and not his? And another thing not noted is if he made 80 million pretax, even with tax advantaged accounts, he’d still be paying a sizable chunk to taxes. So even if he never touched his paychecks, it’d still take a long time for the amount put away to eclipse the amount he technically made. He seems like a good dude and isn’t peddling some money saving app (yet), but it does seem like some bs he’s saying to heighten his status as a LinkedIn influencer or something. I prefer OchoCinco’s style of, “I literally didn’t pay for housing and bought jewelry from Claire’s” approach to money management because it’s so much more feasible to just keep expenses low than to literally not spend your paycheck at all (even for big earners like nfl players).

Titans Sign Skoronski to $100 million extension

F words was good before Herndon left. But he was clearly fed up with arguing with tards every time he came on. Not sure if he’s podcasting at all now?? Mike where you at? But yeah. I think if 1045 cared about making good content they’d do an hour or two on soccer, an hour or two on the preds, an hour or two on Vandy/UT/MTSU sports, and then just have like prime time hours on the titans. Right now it’s all titans all day every day and there’s maybe a 30 minute segment on the vols here and there during football or basketball season. But football is king so we get 3 hour long shows of call-in “conversation” with the dumbest hosts imaginable. -

My mental faculties improved greatly when I stopped listening to Zach Lyons content this summer. I don’t plan to pick it back up once the season starts. -
I don’t fully believe the Logan Ryan story. Surely he didn’t have any endorsements as a late 3rd round rookie out of Rutgers. Unless he negotiated a contract that covered housing, food, and personal transportation, he was likely supporting himself via his paycheck or the money he maybe made illegally in college (again probably not much since it was Rutgers and he wasn’t some top recruit). Maybeeee he had a few endorsements in New Jersey as an alumni, but I can’t imagine that was supporting him through his rookie contract. I think what’s much more likely is he lived relatively frugally as far as pro athletes go, and eventually the money from his contract that he put into stocks/funds/real estate made more than the money he spent from those contracts. I’d bet he didn’t break even until his second contract. But once he made a ton of money, he was still probably living at a pretty modest spending level. Eventually his assets grew beyond the original 80 million he earned. Then he can say “oh I never spent a dime of my $80 mil.” When in reality it’s a lot easier to make your money make money when you have $80 million and your expenses are 100k than when you have $80,000 and your expenses are $60,000. Still, good for him, just felt a bit insulting to read that post as someone who’s moderately financially literate.

I hope his career is over and he goes the way of Junior Seau -

Man poor guy. I always wonder what would’ve happened if he had not played through that meniscus tear the year after he had 2000 yards. If that had happened now he would’ve shut it down for the season and repaired the meniscus. Back then I think guys just shaved off the torn parts and played with less padding. He pretty much lost his home run ability immediately after that. For two years he was the most explosive back since Gale Sayers.

I just remember Ramon admitting he didn’t know what some word meant on the air but the word was extremely basic like “peruse” or something like that. I’ve always thought he was a moron since then.

Well if everyone is jerking off about how great Borgo is, I'd think the guy who hired him deserves some credit. He was also clearly involved with the last draft.

Why would this be confusing. Brinker seemed super competent and now AAS son in law is moving into his role lmao.
