Big Papi Getting Sued by Jay Z - How Long 'til He's Broke?


Woke up today to see that Jay Z is suing Big Papi. Big Papi is not really the soundest businessman in the world. Recall that a few years ago he somehow got wrapped up in having his mug pasted on phone cards that were allegedly ripping off his Dominican countrymen.
Now Jay Z is suing his ass for opening up a club in Dominican Republic that has the same name as Jay Z's swanky 40/40 clubs in New York and Vegas. Clearly Papi needs to choose his business ventures better. He also used to hit .300 and 40 homers but now swings wildly at pitches like a 5-year-old kid learning tee ball.

With his diminishing skills and knack for landing in shady deals, how long will it be before Papi will be broke as hell and become a sad, cautionary, rags-to-riches-to-rags tale a la Leon Spinks?

How long 'til we read something like this:

Stuffed into a tattered easy chair in a dust-strewn shanty in this rural Dominican Republic outpost, the once-iconic slugger and star of the 2004 and 2007 world champion Red Sox looks weathered beyond his years and blames the steroid scandal and "bad business dealings" for his current predicament. And so on and so forth . . .

Go Sox . . . (yawn) . . .

Two rings and there wasn't a job available in Pawtucket for this guy?? WTF???


Granted this isn't as bad as when Cecil Fielder turned up broke after making like $70 million or when Leon Spinks was found washing the glass at the St. Louis Blues hockey rink.
And it's not quite as bad as actually seeing former middleweight champ Robbie Sims just walking around Brockton aimlessly.
But still, this kind of sucks:

Doug Mirabelli has joined Coldwell Banker Schmidt Realtors as a full-time sales associate working out of the 522 East Front Street office.Prior to joining Coldwell Banker Schmidt Realtors, Mirabelli played professional Baseball, winning two World Series with the Boston Red Sox. A native of Las Vegas, Nevada, Mirabelli met his now wife, Kristin while both were attending Wichita State, where she was an All-American Softball Player. They have been residents of Traverse City for the past 5 years, and have three children.
