ComeDown tab for this NFL player: $50 million
How Mark Brunell blew $50 million dollars in failed investments | Daily Mail Online
We were watching a boring documentary last night, when something made up check the TV listings. NFL football on Tuesday night, definite upgrade! We switched over. Then, in the One Thing Leads to Another Dept., something made us think of QB Mark Brunell. We looked him up, and were somewhat astonished to read about his trip from the heights of NFL stardom all the way back down to earth.....
Nothing is as uncertain as finance, projected profits, cash flow, partners, the market, and whatever is being traded....

Courage and despair
“It requires courage not to surrender oneself to the ingenious or compassionate counsels of despair that would induce a man to eliminate himself from the ranks of the living; but it does not follow from this that every huckster who is fattened and nourished in self-confidence has more courage than the man who yielded to despair.”

Stunning Comedown
Alabama State University student charged in classmate's death
Ivry Hall, a 20-year-old Golden Gloves boxer originally from Chicago, was arrested Friday.
“He was back in Chicago for a couple days,” Father Michael Pfleger, a priest and his mentor, told the newspaper. “I spoke with him and sought to pastor him and counsel him, and we contacted the police and set up his return to Montgomery.”
Hall has previously credited Pfleger’s guidance and a Chicago boxing group, the Crushers Club, with helping him turn away from gang life. The young pugilist began running with gangs as early as 8 years old and started selling drugs a year later, according to the report.
Hall was also featured in a short documentary film called “Ivry” in which he’s seen working with younger boxers while using his story to compel them to better their life as he did, the Chicago Tribune reported.
