Clowney's 1st big purchase

[GSC2013]

GOOD FOR CLOWNEY!!!

He earned it. We all go to college to hope one day we can have more money. His time at USC did what all college kids want...helped him earn money.

Congrats JD!!! Rock it through Charleston sometime so we can envy you a bit haha.

His picture is on some Subway signs in NC.

I'm sure JD already has a good financial advisor. He's said a hundred times the first thing he wants to do is buy his mother a new house.

Secondly, if you have excellent credit, you can lease a late model Bentley for $700 a month.

what does a Bentley cost.....you think you can lease them for 700/month, not hardly.

he could hire someone to build him a zombie proof house while he's busy stockpiling silver and running from other absurd and imaginary ghosts

He hasn't made a dime yet in the NFL and people are already scared of him going broke. Is this how the board acted when Rice, Jeffery, Gilmore, etc left?

which of those players have made it into retirement as finnancially secure individuals? not saying they wont be but the examples that you choose are all still actively earning money in the league so we have no idea if they are being responsible with their money or not.

At least my currency, dollars that is, can be held in my hand. Can't say the same for bit coins.

No, why would you think that

Why do people always say this after someone buys an expensive car? Did you buy your Honda Accord as an investment? No. Why should wealthy people only get to buy something if it's an investment?

Breaking News: JD Clowney spotted buying a single crunchy beef taco from Taco Bell.

I just wish he would be a little more cautious with his money.

They can buy what they want, but why? To flaunt their money around? And yeah, I think a Honda accord is an investment, it's a way to get me to point A - B so I can do business. A car used that way is an investment, a car you buy to show people how rich and special you are is not.

This is really not that big of a deal, let the guy live a little. It's not like he invested in Blockbuster.

[USCBASEBALL1]

Hopefully it comes with a governor on the engine. If I am Clowney I am definitely getting at least one bad a$$ ride. I mean he can use a car and he can afford it.

For those of you who don't get it with us criticizing stupid purchases...

Exhibit A: ask Warren Sapp how his spending spree worked out for him...
