I would usually file this under the category of "shocking", however, I have a small, personal aside to the story.
I have the misfortune of traveling to NE for work frequently. Last year I was at the airport bar having a beer and struck up a conversation with another patron. Turns out it was Thunder Collins and we talked CU/kNu, games he played in, etc. He talked about how he was trying to make an Arena team or CFL, don't recall. Overall, he was a pretty nice guy. When our plane was called and the bill was handed out, he said, "don't worry, I got it." He pulled our a wad of cash at least 3 inches thick. My immediate thoughts were, "he's definitely into something b/c marginal Arena players don't have that kinda coin." Didn't bother to inquire past that.
Pretty standard kid from a real tough background that was a great football player and when football didn't work out, he couldn't escape his background. Unfortunately, it probabaly happens more than it should.
