Next Splurge: Fuzzy Dice


I read this in Dan Patrick's column in Sports Illustrated. I love it! I hope this guy maintains his attitude about money...

Next Splurge: Fuzzy Dice

SO MANY athletes go bankrupt simply because they spend money as fast as it comes in. Here's a guy who I don't think will join their ranks. Chris Long, the number 2 pick in the NFL draft, signed a contract with the Rams last week that reportedly guaranteed him $29 million, including an immediate $2 million bonus. Afterward I asked him if he had treated himself to anything; he said he had bought a 1983 Mercury Grand Marquis. For $4,000. Sweet. And he's still got $28,996,000 to play with.
