How do pro athletes with max contracts blow through millions upon millions of dollars? ESPN Films' latest 30 For 30 documentary, "Broke," lays out just how easily it can be spent. Athletes like former NBA player Jamal Mashburn, former NFL player Andre Rison and former NFL coach Herman Edwards, discuss at length the disproportionate amount of pro players losing all their dough and going bankrupt for a myriad of reasons.


While some of the outlandish spending borders on and crosses into tomfoolery, some cases like that of former NFL player Keith McCants who became a drug addict, can be downright depressing. Then there are cases like dude that had nine children with nine different baby mothers that will only leave you shaking your head.
