(S12) - PT 2 - Not All on Training

Micycle McCormick buys custom Nintendo Switches for teammates and local holiday toy drive

Dean Jackson is professional football's highest paid kicker by season (heaven knows why... those darned league minimums!), and although money gets tight with his seeming addiction to the newest and most advanced training regimens (which never seem to propel him to the top of the league in terms of kicking skill, but oh well), he also spends it on friends and family. Recently, he sent friend and ex-kicker Micycle McCormick a vintage Xbox 360 console and an unused copy of Madden 12, one of the last Madden games in which you could play a kicker in player franchise mode. He also sent friend and kicker mafia companion Turk Turkleton a framed photo of a giraffe (a now critically endangered species in this year of 202#). Jackson doesn't understand Turkleton's interest in giraffe's, but he respects the man's giraffe activism and enthusiasm. Jackson also bought himself a snuggie. The company had long since gone bankrupt and been bought-out, but somehow Jackson found a sealed package of the ancient 2014-ish meme-inducing product. He is quoted as saying "Man, this is comfy as all heck but it was suuure not worth the cash I shelled out for it." Tragic. Oh well. Jackson bought neat stuff. Thanks for reading about it.

"What would you spend your millions of dollars?” That's the...million dollar question. That's the question almost every child has ever heard and pondered on what would they actually spend it on. Cars? Houses? Shoes? Women? For Yulic Nagasawa it's a lot less flashy and less complicated. “I would not go overboard on myself. I would not go for a huge mansion or the most impressive cars, gain some luxury sure, but nothing over the top. Then I would make sure my parents are well of. They played a huge role in the success that I have gained and I would be glad to pay it back in a way”. “If I did have to go spend on something flashy, I might go and try to restore old muscle cars. I think that would be fun and cool to learn the workings of those beautiful cars. Other than that I don't have a good answer. I would rather have a nice house, again nothing too crazy, a nice car and have the money for when things ever go wrong. You always hear about the sports star that ran out of money or the guy that has come back and work for the team because his savings is starting to thin. I don’t want to end up in that position.”

[Oles]

In the past the Oles family has seen multiple business ventures that utilize the money they earn from football affairs. Tyler Oles was big in the food truck game in Philadelphia and would often have events to feed the homeless, less fortunate, and anyone else who might need a meal but may not have the means to bring one about. Well, Kazimir spends his time a little differently. As an animal lover Kazimir can often be found sponsoring school trips to the zoo, taking classes out to the local zoo (whether it's in Baltimore or San Jose) and even taking them to other zoos a bit out of the way. Along with this Kazimir tends to donate a lot of time and money to the zoos themselves, along with animal sanctuaries, pet rescues, and international animal services to prevent poaching among other things. Kazimir Oles has a focus on education and animals, helping kids find new things they may never have seen before while also giving animals new hope that might not have come about due to selfish nature of some people. By educating the people of the future he hopes to bring about the end of unjust animal practices, but still recognizes the help that hunting and how the circle of life works, so he works on educating safe practices and preventing practices that are simply for monetary gain, like poaching practices.

While Howard Miller is far from a top earner in the NSFL, priding himself on taking the minimum contracts available to help his team build a stronger roster elsewhere, he is nonetheless extremely well off. After his few couple of seasons in the league, he had everything he could possibly want: a brand-new car, a house for himself, countless clothes, accessories, games and gadgets, and enough money left over to pay his parents’ mortgage, give money to his former schools, and give some to charity.

But still, the money kept coming in. More of it accrued in Miller’s account than he knew what to do with, even if he tried to be reckless. He didn’t want to simply waste money, though, and so he sought out an avenue for him to sink his money into that would at least offer him some sort of happiness or enjoyment in return.

That’s when he turned to Warhammer 40K. The wildly popular fantasy figurine game has a steep barrier to entry, even for the richest people in the NSFL, let alone a normal person. What better way for Miller to spend his money – and quickly – and feel as though he’s getting something in return.

It just turns out that that something happens to be a badass Chaos Space Marine army.
