Financial security

Very interesting article from Money magazine about the financial struggles of an MLS player, in this case Real Salt Lake's Andy Williams. Talk about being up, down, and all over the map. In most cases, players don't move around the way Williams has, but it's interesting to see the other side of collective bargaining agreements and incentive-based contracts. Link from Grant Wahl at si.com.

Caught the premiere of My Name is Earl tonight. Interesting idea. My initial thought is that the show is trying a little too hard, and it needs some time to catch its stride, but it's got promise. Jason Lee is the man. And tomorrow night, new Lost. Clear the decks! I am not accepting phone calls.

Very good article....and while I know it's hard to hear when there are such big $$s in the headlines, it's not just soccer players that struggle with this. Each NFL team has a department (player personnel) that works with players, especially rookies, to teach them how to best manage their money, family, time, frequent moving, etc. It's a crazy business.
