Poor Scottie Pippen.....

Today's MLB releases are as follows: Cardinals -125, Angels -160, and Dodgers +123.

After amassing a total of roughly $120 million in career earnings, it is now time to break out the collection basket for formr NBA All Star Scottie Pippen. Ironically Pippen, who was poor as a child, often times took longer term contracts forgoing more money for instant security. Unfortunately for Mssr. Pippen, the private jet which never made it off the ground, along with several other failed business ventures, put a little dent into his bank account(s). Remember, Pippen's prime was during the late 80's through the 1990's, meaning that his earnings would be even more impressive when factoring in inflation,etc. Okay, enough of me trying to quantify the magnitude of this financial tsunami. In summation, while it is hard to feel bad for someone who enjoyed the fame and riches that Scottie Pippen had, it is even harder to lose what Mssr. Pippen did. Good luck Scottie .....
