Well we are talking about Turdue here, so it definitely would be fertilized cow dung, they go to the women's dorms for it. 🐄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he is ever playing again. Not sure what took him to that place but a wasted op for sure. Worked with a guy 6'9 and somewhere around this weight. His F250 leaned when he drove. Fist bigger than my outstretched hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess he squandered it already? https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/swanica01.html#all_all_salaries After taxes and some bad purchases (maybe million dollar+ house and cars) that money would be gone pretty quickly. All these guys should have money managers, but $5.2 million isn't a lot per se if you are spending it like you are a millionaire. This is a nice chunk of change to live well but not over spend. You could live off the interest if invested sensibly. My "friend" works for a bank that does loans for athletes and the number one thing they do even before they get their first check is buy an expensive house for themselves or family. By the time they get paid they're already in debt. They really need to understand their careers only last a few years but that money needs to last a lifetime.

Especially guys who get traded a few times. You hear about athletes in financial trouble who owned $1 million+ houses in every city where they played. Those houses aren’t always easy to unload and when those babies eat, they eat big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATX_sig Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 Our govt. loves to ruin peoples lives over something trivial like pot which is now legal in many places. Our govt. like to start drug wars and steal taxpayer money to pay for it. Taxpayers have to pay for those in prison for marijuana. I'd rather not pay those taxes. The closer I get to retirement, the more and more buying a place to live in Arequipa makes sense to get out of this now violent country and live in peace. Swanigan is getting a bad deal here and should be left be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Umm no he isn't getting a bad deal here and no he shouldn't be left alone. Until the pot laws are changed in Indiana he broke the law. He actually got off pretty easy and should be grateful. Now should the pot laws be changed in this state? Yeah they probably should be but they aren't, and until they are how about people try following them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
