Money Players
This story deals with NFL players paying a hefty price for allowing people to manage their money. U.S. News examined more than 20 investment deals involving current and former NFL players and found many victims. In exclusive interviews with the magazine, the players described how they were allegedly defrauded. An example includes Buffalo Bills cornerback Antoine Winfield, who was bilked of $1.35 million by a close friend and financial adviser. Other examples illuminate the sometimes tawdry world of player recruitment.

Taxpayers will pay almost the entire $215 million of stadium costs. If that weren't bad enough, now the Denver Broncos' owner Pat Bowlen is pushing for a similiar deal.
