Because majority of pro athletes spend their money foolishly and quite frankly are not very smart.

Not too shocking that a guy who scored a 6 on the Wonderlic test doesn't know how to handle money.

Is this a surprise to anyone? Mr. Young scored a six (6) on the Wonderlic. Why would anyone expect him to actually know how to manage his finances?!

It's a shame that these talented young athletes aren't surrounded with people who have the athlete's best interest at heart when giving out advice. But there is only so much you can do to "help" someone. If an adult surrounds himself with individuals who are just looking for a piece of the pie, then this is what should be expected.

I know VY scored that low and know he's retarded, so this one in particular is not surprising to me. He is just the latest in a long line of professional athletes that go broke QUICKLY after retirement.

I don't understand how it's so many of them.

agents, lawyers and taxes end up with more money than most of these guys spend/waste buying things.

The first person mentioning the 6 on the Wonderlic got repped. The rest of you didn't.

Sorry.

I assume scoring six on the Wonderlic means you generally do not make smart decisions?

Considering a 10 is the threshold to suggest that a person is literate. A 6 is pretty low.

The wikipedia page for this is actually kind of interesting with some studies comparing the correlation (or lack there of) of wonderlic test scores and success in the NFL.

I once did a test for work that, if not the Wonderlic, is at least the same style/format as it. 50 questions, xx minutes (can't remember...between 15 and 30). They're multiple choice; kind of like a quicker ACT/SAT sort of thing where the goal is to answer as many quickly in as short of time as possible to show an ability (I guess) to make quick and accurate decisions. To get a 6 on it means you might barely be one step north of retard.

Are you implying that a persons IQ is correlated directly with their latitude? Interesting theory...

Does anyone know what his Wonderlic Score was? Maybe that would give us an idea of how he went broke. If we knew his Wonderlic Score.

I asked the internet and was told to "GFY" and "You're retarded" was the only answer found.
I think Yahoo Answers needs an Infraction.
