Sidebar; As I get older it’s becoming more evident creating wealth for future generations is a nice thing to do but it’s far from a problem solver. A lot of under achieving people out there sort of coasting while waiting for the rest of that generational money created years ago. I would never advocate not saving for future generations- but with everyday I get more skeptical it’s not without its own pitfalls.But that’s my point. Where is the line drawn? He’s already made over 9M dollars prior to this deal. If he were to just live off the 9M (even next of tax), take this contract (say 8M after tax) and sock it away in an investment, even at a conservative 7% that’s over 60M in 30 years. Plenty for future generations.
I love hearing the announcers talk about UConn players. During the ESPN broadcast on Monday (7/26), Karl Ravech talked about the fact that Barnes and Springer were former UConn mates. Barnes proceeded to pop up Springer for the final out of the game and save for Barnes. This prompted an exchange between the two which had Barnes laughing.I was watching the game when he started talking about Uconn. So happy and proud to hear his comments. He was just starting on basketball when the inning ended!
