As a retired Financial Adviser (stockbroker), never give a power of attorney to a Financial Adviser. NEVER!

[@sergiogalindo3024]

Branson Willis- I'm not referring to you...but you don't have to be a financial advisor to know that! Raiders4Life!

[@CheriSTJohn-mh8wz]

I concur.

[@dr.bowdoin3067]

Branson Willis ain’t that what you have a trustee for? I have Raymond James but damn sure ain’t giving them power of attorney

[@humblinghumblrooski]

Who gave power of attorney to someone?

[@dr.bowdoin3067]

Jason Johnson my trustee has power of attorney and is also my cousin and our relationship is great and all of my ventures thus far have been successful. But I’d never give power of attorney to a financial advisor

[@antoniojames9493]

Those miles in college caught up with him once he got in the NFL. His last year in Arkansas he had 497 touches

[@frequentfinesse8904]

Antonio James 497!? In one year!? Jesus Christ

[@antoniojames9493]

Add in catches, Kickoff and him running the WildCat.

[@antoniojames9493]

He was also the QB when they ran the Wildhog offense. They used that formation alot.

[@antoniojames9493]

I didn't say 497 carries I said 497 touches meaning plays he was involved in. Those WildHog plays were he was pitching to Felix Jones and still getting hit dont count on the stat sheet but did on the toll of his body

[@antoniojames9493]

He’s one of the most under appreciated college RBs of all time, should’ve won the 07 Heisman but was robbed by Tebow because he was more popular at the time. Got to see him play multiple times and he was something special, he put Arkansas on the map.

[@kennethlovett6971]

I mean I wouldn’t say never have a power of attorney and there’s reasons why millions of Americans use it as a way to allow for medical financial bank approval of things now should only be with parents or people that you trust they’ve known forever yeah maybe one or two if you don’t have people like that in your life I’m assuming all people you can trust then no but for many Americans it smooths things over especially if the individual is handicapped or physically incapable to make a decision at the time.

Flemlo- I really enjoy the stories you present, and have recently subscribed to your channel. You are obviously a big football fan and you clearly spend a lot of time researching the subjects you cover, making the always interesting but sometimes little known stories that are by turns informative, inspirational, cautionary, incredible & sometimes all of the above, something that I eager look forward to!! In particular, I was moved by the B.J. Raji story because it highlights what a thoughtful young man he is to have made the choice he made... he is an example that everyone can learn from. Thank you for your diligence & keep up the good work!! All good things to you.

Darren McFadden is a success hands down. His college career, his childhood, and then like you said having a ten year nfl career that's success by any stretch.

I don’t understand why this channel hasn’t surpassed the 1 million subscription milestone. Great work man. I swear it - may the old gods and the new serve as witness - As of today I pledge my full support to your channel from this day forth, until my last.

[@danielclutter2890]

D'Mac was everything to AR sports fans during his time as a razorback. I'll never forget watching him bulldoze any & everybody in his path game after game after game. I really wonder what ever happened with Felix Jones, who had some of the most incredible punt returns of all time. Great video! Keep up the good work!

[@chrisedwards5447]

I'm a Falcons fan. In 2008 my dad and I was watching the NFL Draft. He was hoping we'd get Darren McFadden with the 3rd Overall pick. We didnt. We got Matt Ryan. Instead Darren McFadden went 4th overall to the Raiders. My dad then said, "Chris, we just made the biggest mistake. I guarantee you in 10 years we'll look back on this and regret it" 10 years have past and I can officially tell my dad he was wrong.

[@camerondye6108]

Gunner Furr me too man

[@krh0108]

Actually the wildcat concept as stated in a reply to this comment was popularized at Kentucky. However the offense ran by Malzahn at Arkansas dubbed, "Wild Hog" was really just his option package with a RB at the quarterback position. Not some special formation he created for D-Mac. You'll see His QB's running the same formation, same plays. Obviously they added wrinkles to it to benefit the strengths of D-Mac but it really wasn't a Wild-cat Offense

Of course he’s successful. Where he grew up to where we went was amazing. Not many people can do that. The injuries and the financial advisor thing was something no one could expect. I think if the injuries didn’t happen, he would still be in the league. Maybe not a starter RB but on a team. In his career without injuries, he would be (maybe) a 4x pro bowler
