So why is it that they have a hard time making similarly good calls off the court/field/pitch/track, even when afforded time they could never dream of while playing. Athletes get ticketed for stupid crimes, fall for money-hungry jersey chasers, and make horrendous investments. One of the worst investments: custom cars.
