tom zbikowski on matt slauson moving back with his parents during the nfl’s impending lockout:
“you gotta stop worrying about the image of an nfl player because 80% of the nfl is broke, unemployed, and divorced three years out of the nfl, which a lot of people don’t know. it’s a disgusting number. we’re taught we’re supposed to upkeep a certain image where they’re told that, you know, you’ll be set for life if you’re making this amount of money, but that’s if you’re living like where you came from. that’s not living like you’re making millions of bucks every single year.”
