Man, where are these dudes finding girls who are willing to drop major bills on em' in 1-2 weeks time? My friend's latest find bought him the new Jordans, a pair of Beats headphones (the noise canceling ones) and paid for a set of new tires for his car. That's damn near $1,000 in gifts... They've been together less than a month and this broad is dropping entire paychecks on him.

older gal?
She's a year younger than me and him, so 23.
Think she's an analyst for a bank in San Francisco
I'm sure I can do that, but then again I play sports often so maybe its not to surprising.
Yeah, she should make close to 6 figures with a job like that in San Fran.

As King of the Short Fat crew I will join you in your New Years resolutions to shed the weight!
After being stuck on the 1st episode of Season 1 for years, I'm finally on Season 3 of Battlestar Galactica. It's damned good so far. Apparently the show turns to shit soon, but I'm going to finish what I started regardless of this sentiment!
I have to say, it's great to see a Mexican in a lead Science Fiction role. Hell, it's good to see a Mexican in a Science Fiction role period. According to Hollywood, they don't exist in the future Lol.

Started watching it on Netflix, think I got to about season 3 and stopped. I just couldn't take it, to much bullshit and filler for me. I might eventually finish it. Check out Caprica if you can, it's the prequel. I really enjoyed it.
Yeah, I watched Caprica when it was airing. Sucks it got canceled. Flawed but incredibly interesting.

I hope Battlestar incorporates Caprica at some point.

I personally found the beginning of season 3 to be amongst the most intense television I've ever seen. The time jump was a brilliant idea. (And I hear that BSG was the first major show to do that) And leaving our characters "occupied" really brought back the notion that they could actually lose every once and awhile (The show was beginning to become a little too convenient at that point...plans always worked, missions always succeeded, etc) It keeps it up for like 5 or 6 episodes before the seams start to split.
A lot of people point towards the "filler" episodes but to me that's not what ruined the show...it's the characterization that begins to fall apart. You'll see soon enough.
EJO is brilliant throughout. In fact, by the time all is said and done, he will likely be the only character that you don't lose respect for. ACTION STATIONS!

Ginger from casino is a good example.
Also I marathoned Sherlock... Best TV mystery show I seen in years even if Moriarty doesn't hold up to expectations.

Something I've always wondered. The average black American sports star, what happens once their career is over? I don't mean the Lebron type but the ones no one really remembers once they pass. Does the money dry up and they become broke?

Most do.A lot are terrible with money.
Yeah, I think most of them go broke (something like ~70%).

ESPN's 30for30 series covered this. Most athletes go broke after they've been out of the league for a while.

A few make decent business investments that allow them to maintain but most go broke. Its all about spending habits.
Most get broke as fuck because they 1) spent money like water 2) didnt finish their education 3) made poor business deals 4) BABY MAMAs.
pick one.
i don't even feel sorry for em
5)They can't say no to family and friends.

Went to go see the Djano movie.
I said goddamn!
I want my broad to cosplay as Django.
Bad mothe- shut your moouth.
EDIT: There are many mask scenes? and I'm very familiar with the fact that black people were treated as sub-humans during that day and age.
Took a African history class back in high school, but I know that don't matter.

What did you think about the masks scene? Without spoiling it for anyone else of course.

Guys like Latrell Sprewell, and Antoine Walker, weren't necessarily superstars, but they are examples of all-stars that have lost their money.
Mike Tyson had Lebron James type money and ended up going through bankruptcy (Everything from having money stolen from him, to lavish spending).
The 30 for 30 Broke episode is fantastic at really breaking it down. It mostly focuses on the NFL. The average salary is like 2 million a year. Remember that a large chunk of that is be taken out by taxes. Even guys that make significantly more than that have to understand that their careers are very short and they aren't just making money for now...they are making it for the rest of their lives.
Say you play 5 years, retire at 25, and you end up making 10 million (After taxes) in that time period. This is likely a lot more money than most guys are taking home during this time period, and most don't even play for 5 years. If you aren't smart, and don't know how to either stretch that money, or preferably, make more money off of it, for another 40 years, you're going to be in a world of trouble. Add in baby mamas, bad business decisions, taking care of family and friends, spending lavishly...
I think the best thing these guys could do would be 1) Freeze some sperm and get a vasectomy, 2) Cut yourself off from friends, and non-immediate family members, 3) Don't fucking get married until after you retire, 4) Just stop fucking buying stupid shit.

Just got back from Django, girlfriend was a bit shook up and shed a few tears at certain parts. I enjoyed it, thought all of the actors did a great job and would definitely put it in my top 5 movies of the year. The scene at the end with the house lady was my favorite. I started laughing so hard I got the whole theater going.

You really can't expect to be the Alpha Simp/Creepy guy andnot have people call you out on it. Ninja was like a surgeon with his cuts, exposing his BS, and Devo just brought the cold hard truth.

Lots of good poster getting caught in OT. Everyone has to remember that keeping it real always goes wrong in the OT. Better to come here link to the thread and then mock the fuck out of it to get it out your system.

Most of the time he got their head fucked up, selling them pipe dreams, and then add the sex game to the mix and she is still young and dumb. Probably got her sprung on the tongue and she don't know what to do. Sad to see females fall like that, dude can flat out cheat on her with another chick in her face and she will still be stuck on him. It usually take a huge wake up call to snap them out of it.

Thanks for the responses.
Hmmm really interesting. Spent the last 30 mins looking for this documentary but couldn't find it. But yeah, I feel a little sorry for them.

Oh man I missed out on some...interesting reading I take it.
Yeah I think that fits better, my bad.
Yeah he was talking to a girl and then got all stalkery with unwanted messages and shit. That's not calling before you get to work to ask what your simple princess wants for breakfast because you're driving past McDonalds. That isn't walking your hot ass neighbor's dog for her because you're going out too.
He might have been a former simp that turned into a creep, but he left simping behind the moment he decided 'no more mr nice guy'.
