Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Unfortunately, professional sports are full of guys who make millions and spend it all. Although I have no idea about Darrent.
Stuff, bad investments, etc.
Such a young guy probably thought he had a lot more time to worry about such things.
And trusts are only as good as the investments the money is in. A trust with all the money in stocks has no protection, where one funded by commercial real estate (for example) has that, and can continue on indefinately.
Darrent put some money in a music promotion business I think. If he put it all into that, and has nobody else competent to run it in his absence, all that investment might dry up pretty quickly.
Also, alot will depend on the kind of lifestyle those kids live. It wouldnt take all that much to spend a few million pretty quickly on non-essentials.
A huge house, a few expensive cars. All thsoe expensive things take a lot of cash to keep up, and when that runs out, have to be sold. A house can increase in value, but an used Ferrari is just an used car worth a fraction of it's original cost.
Lotto winners blow much more than athletes and end up flat broke.
First let me start by saying, I think that it is wonderful that so many people are giving, and the Bronco organization has gone above and beyond in doing things to help Darrents children. Now they are auctioning off Super Bowl tickets and a stay at a hotel in Miami which should bring a lot of money to his kids. My question is, Didn't he have money in the bank? He played 2 full seasons in the NFL, surely he put some money aside for his kids. With all the trust funds and money being made they are going to have so much money by the time they turn 18 they won't need to go to school. How much is enough? I would have expected them to have already been taken care of.
