Ray’s new initiative will help athletes with their money. Forsett could see a diminished role in 2016 and has a lot to prove. The officiating crew who screwed up the game vs. Jacksonville has split. NFL continues its dirty tactics. O’s-tradamus looks further into the 2016 season.
Fmr. Ravens Star Ray Lewis Explains Why Athletes Go Broke
If you’ve ever seen the 30 for 30 documentary, Broke, you’ve heard the horror stories of athletes who don’t know how to manage their wealth. Ray Lewis explained to Thomas Barrabi of Fox Business why that is. Now, Ray’s post-football goal is to provide young athletes with the skills to avoid becoming yet another cautionary tale. He wants young athletes to pay attention to “every penny” of their money. He hopes to help them do that in his advisory role with the investment platform, YieldStreet.

In news that shocked next to no one, the NFL is dirty. Steve Fainaru and Mark Fainaru-Wada recap how the NFL tried to force its own experts into a National Institute of Health study into the long-term effects of concussions. I’m not one to call corporations “evil” often, but the NFL has become a prime example of one. Yikes.
