Former Pro Bowl wide receiver Andre Rison’s post-career financial troubles were one of the subjects covered in ESPN’s “Broke” documentary. Rison attributed the loss of nearly all of his career earnings on simple immaturity and a culture of “keeping up with the Joneses.” He openly stated that he would make purchases without any care as to how much something costs, and would have piles of cash laying around with little care. To him, blowing money on houses, cars, or night outs in the club simply didn’t phase him. Rison has used his personal experience to educate the younger generation of players entering the league… “one day, when you hang up your cleats, the paychecks stop coming, but the bills are still delivered to your mailbox.”
