Some wont. But reading this will make you think long and hard before you go out and blow your money again on what appears to be a worthy investment. That new video game system? Maybe it's better just to go outside and throw the football around. That fishing trip to Maui Darnell Savage Jr. Jersey , flying first class, and staying in that five-star hotel? Maybe it's best to wait a few years, and in the meantime, take a quick drive to the local watering hole.This article will likely make you appreciate what you have because those who seem to have it all, in reality, often have nothing. At one point in time, you were looking at these star athletes with envy, jealous that you didn't have their three Lincoln cars of three different colors sitting in front of a multi-million-dollar mansion. But now, many of them look at you, whose seemingly modest life appears both enjoyable and worlds away, with a type of unfamiliar reverence.The question is, why do professional sports players fall into the rabbit hole? Sure, us common folk may understand the reasons behind player bankruptcy Elgton Jenkins Jersey , but often players are oblivious to the concepts from the moment they receive their first pay check to the moment they declare ruin.Here is the main reason: Often players feel the need and pressure to max out, which means they spend all of their money when they get it. It's an umbrella concept that encompasses countless other reasons. For example, many players grow up poor, work hard, make it to the NFL, and get rich. It's the American Dream; however, most don't know how to manage that Dream, and their finances fall flat. Along with poorly investing their money, players often feel the pressure of spending. The New York Times cited former NFL offensive tackle Roman Oben as a prime example of a player who felt pressure to spend big when he didn't want too. Players often teased Oben about his Toyota Land Cruiser with 68,000 miles on it.And despite continued efforts by the NFL to educate players, the reasons NFL players go bankrupt is as long as the massive salaries they once owned.
PHOENIX — The San Francisco Giants extended their best month in exactly two years with a victory at Arizona on Friday, given a huge boost by rookie outfielder Austin Slater and left-hander Andrew Suarez.

At 17-10, the Giants are having their first winning month since June 2016 Jace Sternberger Jersey , and with a victory in the second game of the three-game series Saturday, they will have one more victory than they had that June.

Slater had three hits, including two RBI doubles, in a Giants 2-1 victory on Friday, his sixth day back on his fourth recall from Triple-A Sacramento this season. Suarez gave up one run in six innings and ran his streak to 13 starts without walking more than two.

“He really has that composure out there,” San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said of Suarez. “He’s got some savvy out there. He knows when to make his pitches. He knows when to be careful, too.”

The Diamondbacks will send right-hander Shelby Miller (0-1, 12.27 ERA) to the mound Saturday for his second start since returning from Tommy John surgery in an attempt so salvage another series win.

The D-backs are 5-0-1 in their last six series since losing two of three at San Francisco from June 4-6. Giants rookie right-hander Dereck Rodriguez (2-1, 3.82) will make his sixth start of the season on Saturday. Rodriguez has never faced Arizona, but he allowed just one run and four hits over seven innings in his most recent start, on Sunday against San Diego. He did not get a decision but the Giants won the game 3-2.

Miller, who underwent Tommy John surgery last May, made his first start of the season in Miami on Monday Dexter Williams Jersey , when he gave up six hits and five runs in 3 2/3 innings while reaching 95-96 mph on the radar gun.

“The fastball command was outstanding,” Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said. “I know he is working on his secondary stuff. That’s to be expected. Knowing that he has taken a 15-month journey to get to this point, it’s not going to be a perfect science right away. The secondary pitches are feel pitches, and I know that he is working hard. Landing the second stuff is something that we are hoping to see. We know we see it in bullpens and at different tunes. I know that Shelby is going to be ready for that challenge.”

Miller, the key return in the trade that sent Ender Inciarte and Dansby Swanson to Atlanta at the 2015 winter meetings, used words of encouragement from Patrick Corbin and the Arizona training staff to get through rehab. Corbin underwent Tommy John in the spring of 2014 season and missed the whole year.

“I talked to Corbin a lot,” Miller said. “The guys in the training room, day in and day out they were giving me reassurance. What to expect. I leaned on them and relied on them a lot. They were big. I am definitely feeling good.”

Miller admitted to feeling some nerves before the Miami start.

“For sure,” he said. “It is different than any other game. It is a big day. I had some minor league rehab starts, but those don’t even compare to the games that are mattering up here. I definitely had some jitters.”

Miller is 2-5 with a 3.51 ERA in nine career starts against the Giants.

Slater has been tearing up the Pacific Coast League in his time between stints in San Francisco. He is slashing .344/.417/.564 with 24 doubles and five homers in 53 games with the River Cats. His 24 doubles were second in the league, and his batting average was sixth when was promoted again last Saturday.

With third baseman Evan Longoria expected to miss at least another month, manager Bruce Bochy mentioned the possibility of giving Slater more time, especially against left-handed pitchers.

Slater is hitting at least .300 against righties and lefties in Sacramento this season Rock Ya-Sin Jersey , and during his short stay wth the Giants before a leg injury in 2017 hit .333 in 38 plate appearances against lefties.

“We’re missing a right-handed bat, and he could provide that,” Bochy said. “Not that other guys can’t, but you look at what he did tonight and what he’s been doing. He’s going to help stretch out this lineup and us some added offense, which we need against lefties.”

Even with veterans in the outfield, “You have to go with the guys who are swinging the bat well,” Bochy said. “They dictate their lineup.”

Slater has made three starts since being recalled the most recent time Saturday.

“The first couple of times up and down, it is easy to lose focus,” Slater said. “But for me it was try to prove a point that it wasn’t a fluke, that I was here to stay.”
