You’ve got your Ryan Leaf’s out there. You’ve got your Sam Bowie’s out there. When is the last time you’ve heard of these guys other than in a “biggest draft busts” conversation? The answer is pretty much never (Man do I feel like I’m doing an HBO Sports segment right now). But what about the guys that make something of themselves after football?

We’ve seen the story of Lenny Dykstra and how he owns all of his carwashes. Lenny is considered a stock guru by many despite him still being a complete dick. But what about Heath Shuler? Can’t this guy get his own HBO Special? I mean this guy went from total bust in the NFL to real estate Mogul, to congressman, to yacking it up with dudes like Bill Clinton.

I just want to give a quick shout out to North Carolina Democratic congressman Heath Shuler. A fine American and proof that if you fail in the NFL, there is life after football.

Plus, imagine this guy in a congress flag football game. Democrats, 50. Republicans, nil.

Paid for by Lenny’s Car Wash.
