...many moons ago, on my first of 3 run ins with cars where they all tried me out as a hood ornament while on a bike ride....i got blasted by a teenage driver while i was literally on a sidewalk for that portion of the ride, busted my helmet is several places, looked terrible, shook me up, but I was fine. Kid got a ticket. I could have sued for whatever the policy limits were and gotten them, with no lawyer, as I happened to be a self employed claim adjuster at the time. I settled for the cost of the bike, helmet and clothes they tore...
..while I was signing the settlement papers the guy from American Family said this is very rare and appreciated my honesty on the subject and I thats when i worked in i was a self employed adjuster and i'd like to discuss doing biz with them when they needed my kind of service...dude told me he knew all he needed to after the accident and how i handled it and i landed them as my biggest client the following week. did work for them for years, maybe a decade? literally fed me and my family for a decade...and it happened cause in the end i didn't chase the fast buck
..maybe this kid is missing a similar opportunity. play out the season, go public, in a classy way..be a spokesperson for other athletes and help make them aware of getting everything in writing, be a poster child for how it can go wrong, Vegas is full of million dollar business's who's appreciate that kind of attitude and integrity. I wouldn't be socked f he could turn this into an amazing opportunity to help land a great job after college, and we know how much business's love to hire higher profile football hero's.
I just wonder if he's considered the long game on this. Cause they way he handled this now, doesn't make him very appealing to many business's later i wouldn't think.
