Rob Gronkowski says he lived off $50,000 as an NFL rookie because he understood the NFL meant "Not For Long"
"My agent gave me a $50,000 advance for what's going to come in the marketing world for myself. I just had to pay him back within the first $50,000 I made"
"I was able to purchase my first car, which was a 2008 Escalade, and then to be able to pay rent once I got to New England. And then from there on out, I really didn't need any other money"
"I was getting free meals at the facility. I just kind of needed gas money. You go out, the drinks are free or you pay for one, you get 10 free when you're when you're on the Patriots up in the Boston area"
"So I wasn't really spending much money at all, especially when it got to the season. I mean, you're inside that building and everything's handed to you on a daily basis from breakfast all the way to dinner"
"I just lived off my marketing dollars. I was living a low-level life. I had a condo with a roommate that was on the team as well. We're paying $1,500 a month in rent while in the NFL"
"I was very frugal and that's how I got away with it. Not having any lavish purchases, the first couple years in the league and just banking away what I was making because I truly understood that the NFL stands for not for long"
Federal Judge Eleanor Ross initially denied allegations that she engaged in "noisy sex" in her chambers during business hours with an Atlanta Police Department deputy chief as part of an extramarital affair. After later admitting the misconduct, she received only a public reprimand. Ross was appointed by President Obama and presided over the sentencing of Todd Chrisley.
Was a reprimand sufficient? https://t.co/TiTD2HEaR7
Another Indy 500 weekend in the rearview mirror. Great racing, great memories, and most important, time with my kids. This year’s photo finish is what it’s all about!
@RhubarbBrown I think Machado handled that reporter’s insolent questions respectfully. I’m grateful for Austin Riley, and I’d like to see everyone be more supportive of him.
According to Bloomberg, Trump, unlike his predecessors, did not divest or place his assets in a blind trust with an independent overseer. His trust is managed by Eric and Don Jr. This Fortune article provides great information and says that there has never been a POTUS who had active trades. I’d like to know who the portfolio managers are. https://t.co/7MOZGRBrR2
The stock market is at an all-time high.
Credit spreads are near all-time lows.
And inflation has been above the Fed's target level for 62 consecutive months, averaging over 4% per year since 2019.
So why is the Fed expanding its balance sheet again (QE)?
