Interesting story, but hardly surprising.

I want this to be my epitaph.

Here's the Nashville radio show where some of this came from.

LOL, damn

Listen to the audio, it's some of the funniest shit I've heard in a while. It's nothing but Nashville chain restaurant waiters, bartenders, and then random black guys telling stories about VY, LenDale White, and other guys.

Interestingly enough, Bo Scafe apparently was big on the Nashville chain restaurant party circuit.

9/20/2012 1:20:31 PM

Haha, this really reminds me of a Mayne Event segment they did on Marshawn Lynch a few years back where they show him hanging out at Applebee's and Dave and Buster's.

oh my god this is so so hilarious.

9/21/2012 12:47:28 AM

why do people take such pleasure in these stories? jealousy?

9/21/2012 12:52:56 AM

who wouldnt want to spend $6,000 at TGIF?

9/21/2012 1:01:30 AM

If I was going to waste money like that I would at least do it at a more interesting place than a chain resturant. Why not waste the money at a micro brewery, or some other place that is unique?

9/21/2012 1:12:36 AM

(says the resident Rum Runners superfan)

9/21/2012 1:23:45 AM

^I wouldn't say I am a super fan, but I don't mind going about twice a year. I wouldn't call it a major chain either. If I had thousands to waste at a bar then I would just set up a tent outside of Aviator, or Lone Rider.

9/21/2012 1:47:39 AM

Obviously he didn't have thousands to waste each week though or he wouldn't be broke

Buying up all the seats on a plane is pretty funny to me.

Jealousy? wat?

People find these stories funny because it involves idiocy, just like people laugh at others for doing stupid things all the time. Stop pretending to be some special person because you feel sorry for dumbasses like LenDale White blowing their fortune on crappy food and booze.

There is no reason to feel remorse for any of these people. It's not like they made a bad investment in a company or were duped by a shady agent. They knew what they were doing and were too stupid to recognize that they might run out of money one day.

""It has some sentimental value to it now," Morris told the team's official website. "It just keeps me grounded, where I came from and all the hard work for me to get to this point. So that's what helps me." With two game checks in his account ($45,882 before taxes), Morris could probably find a suitable upgrade without breaking the bank, but that Mazda isn't going anywhere. "One day, my kids are going to drive that car," Morris added. "If it breaks down, I'm gettin' it fixed. That's just how I am.""

my first car was almost as old as me too, but damn if I drove a car that was almost as old as my dad

That's kind of weird. I mean as far as reliable and quality 1991 cars go that one's not even on the radar.

9/21/2012 3:36:48 PM

an immature kid getting millions and going broke by wasting it on stupid irrelevant shit....


this is new

9/21/2012 4:03:14 PM

No, that's not new, but what is new is that he blew his fucking millions at dave and busters. Not on bling and Cristal at the club, but on fucking $2.99 tequila-lime popcorn shrimp and blazin buffalo bites.

9/21/2012 4:05:01 PM

yes, because that's exactly where he blew his entire fortune

9/21/2012 4:12:34 PM

Christ, let it go. Schadenfreude is what makes this place tick. You of all people should know that.

9/21/2012 4:14:52 PM

I had a 1986 626GT. It was a great car.

Vince Young is suing his former agent and an investment adviser for misappropriating $5.5 million of his money. That doesn't completely explain his money problems but it's certainly contributing to them.

9/21/2012 6:59:03 PM

I had a 1987 Mazda 626 5 speed. That is how I learned to drive a stick shift.

9/22/2012 1:06:45 AM

All people should learn how to drive stick shift. It makes you more in-tune with your car and gives you less time to be distracted. Maybe if all teenagers were required to drive stick they wouldn't get into wrecks.

I have been driving for 12 years now and have never gotten into a wreck (knocks on wood). I attribute it to the manual transmission keeping me focused on my driving.
