Congratulations, Jamo 👏

Love Joe—like, one of my favorite Browns players of all time—but “family expenses” is doing a lot of work here.
Joe Haden says most people have no idea how quickly an NFL contract disappears once taxes and family expenses hit.
“I signed a five-year, $50 million contract.”
“I had about $26.6 million guaranteed.”
“My first year, I got a $12 million signing bonus.”
“After taxes, I only touched around $7 million.”
“The first thing I did was give my parents $3 million.”
“Then I bought them a $1 million house.”
“So right away, about $5 million was gone.”
“I bought my brothers cars.”
“I bought myself a penthouse.”
“I got a Range Rover Sport and a Bentley GT.”
“People hear $50 million and think you’ve got $50 million sitting in the bank.”
“That’s not how it works.”
“You look up after all that and realize you might only have around $1 million left.”
“You start understanding real quick that a $50 million contract is not actually $50 million.”
“That’s why so many guys go broke.”
While clearly not a great outcome for the Mets, this kid was an absolute unit. Nearly 7 feet tall with a 98th percentile fastball. Had an insane K/9 number that I’m not going to look up.
Perspective required here, guys. Two of them have a podcast together. They were all just on RJs YouTube series. Shump and JR were just together in NY. They still have a group chat…
Of course they’re not going out for weekend beers with the boys. Some of them are STILL PLAYING.

The 73-win Warriors entered the Finals as the winningest team in NBA history, while Cleveland carried a 52-year championship drought.
On this day in 2016, Cleveland completed the first 3-1 comeback in NBA Finals history, winning three straight to capture its first championship 🏆
Seven playoff appearances and two Super Bowls—one of which resulted in a championship—over this stretch. Talent is more important than potential. As long as Cleveland continues to treat the NFL Draft like it’s Super Bowl, this will never change.
Dolans are going to lose their shit when they read about this in tomorrow’s paper.

End of list 👀
It…was a quote from the column linked below said quote.
“The Guardians spent a grand total of $11.5 million during the winter, did nothing to improve their meager offense that hit a franchise-worst .226 last season, and went into the season with a $76 million payroll and forecasts of 75 to 80 victories in the air…
[and] they’re running away with the AL Central.”
