This is the time of year where I’m reminded of the great con-artist “Count” Victor Lustig. He’s the man who scammed Al Capone and sold the Eiffel Tower not once, but twice.
Think of Lustig as the agent, the Eiffel Tower as the player, and the top people in the French scrap metal industry as the general managers and owners. It’s not always the case, but too often we see big cash thrown around on a promise that is never fulfilled.
For Malik Jackson, you could argue it was near impossible for him to live up to his 2016 price tag.
