"Erin needed the money... to help her parents???" |
The one thing that came across really insincere for me was Erin's claim that she needed the money for her parents. For those not in the know, Erin is the youngest daughter of former San Francisco 49'ers quarterback John Brodie.Now, I know that John played in the 50's and 60's and retired in 1973 before the days of "huge" NFL salaries, but in 1967 he DID sign a 4 year, $827,000 contract that made him the highest paid player in the game. After he retired he was employed as a television football analyst, played on the PGA Senior Tour for a bit, and also telecast PGA events. And in earlier articles for the show I read about Erin mentioning how her parents moved to someplace south of SF because there are better golf courses there and that's what her Dad is all about nowadays. ...now we're supposed to believe that she took the money to help her parents out??? What, is her Dad having problems paying the greens fees on his own? -SB

First of all, let's realize one thing: Erin is a DAW's DAW.Erin gave away a sure $1,000,000 (over 40 years notwithstanding) to be on this show again. Okay, so the prize doubles, and more likely the guy will pick her over the green dollar bills, but still... it's obvious she wanted to be on television again, even on THIS show! So Erin's talking about helping out the family... pure talk for the TV camera. In fact, I've been wondering why a daughter of John Brodie even feels the need to DO shows like these. It can only be the attention, the cameras, the sure-to-be name recognition.

I agree with you Dawg (as I posted on the other thread) except for one thing.and more likely the guy will pick her over the green dollar bills WHY? Why is it more likely that a guy would pick her over the money. I think the choice was a slam dunk, no brainer for everyone except Paige on the first go round. If anything, I'd think the guys would be less romantic/naive than Paige was. I'd also be willing to bet that the guys will be cast with that very thing in mind. It will be fun to watch her try though. I think Erin is very attractive, but she really doesn't say a whole lot. She mostly responds with a crooked smirk and a quick "thanks", or "I know". Hopefully, she won't have the same speech writer that Rob did. UGH!

LAST EDITED ON 07-08-03 AT 01:33 PM (EST)WHY? Why is it more likely that a guy would pick her over the money. Several reasons. Erin is a gorgeous woman, and could wow a guy, and the chance to be with her might overwhelm him. Also, guys tend to think with the wrong head at times, if ya know what I mean. Hell, I've seen guys throw away money, marriages, careers, just to get into a girl's pants. So would they pick the girl over an annuitized 1 million? Very possibly yes. Not to mention that one of them might just figure out that he and Erin might win money if he chooses her (correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Paige had that idea last night, that there would still be money in it if she picked Rob instead of the cool million). Again, he might just make that "gamble". Also, Erin knows the whole situation, and can get her info and make her choices with that $2M in mind. She definitely has HER goal set, as well. So unless Erin acts like a total lush fool (like Rob did), I can easily see the winning guy picking her over the money.

If you were really in the know, you would know that Erin's father had a severe stroke a few years ago and is in a full care facility in Texas because he is no longer able to speak. I doubt he is playing much golf these days. John's stroke has been devestating to their family not only emotionally, but also financially. So maybe you should get your facts straight before passing judgement someone you don't even know.

>passing judgement someone you don't even know. Humm... here's a story from 2002 that states he's recovering in California -- how recently did he supposedly take such a turn for the worse and get moved to Texas? http://www.sf49ers.com/community/DisplayCommunity.asp?newsID=633 Read this story on the man's background in his PGA winnings and extremely comfortable financial status (after being a star NFL QB for 17 years, he earned another $800,000+ on the PGA Tour alone -- and brags that he even had to take a pay cut when he quit NBC to join the PGA Tour) http://www.golfweb.com/u/ce/multi/0,1977,3145813,00.html Here's his celebrity tournment winnings where he's earned another $300k+ http://www.cptgolf.com/Statistics/winningsall.asp And for what it's worth, they show him on the 2003 roster: http://www.cptgolf.com/players/rosterclass.asp?class=football And Chris Chandler, another (oft-injured) NFL QB who's earned tens of millions of dollars his own is one of Brodie's son-in-law's: http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl/articles/20010817/336769.html ...now try and tell me that with a straight face that this family needs the money -- if there's any extended family out there that should be able to financally withstand a stroke (one that from all the available reports he was well on the way to recovering from) this would have to be one of them. And if she needs the money so bad, why risk losing it all to go back? Sorry, but the "facts" that are public just don't fit with her stated reasons for needing the money. Erin has to whore herself out on national TV to help her Dad out while her sister Diane is married to a star NFL QB that's earned tens of millions of dollars? What's wrong with that picture... -SB

17. "Another son-in-law" |
LAST EDITED ON 07-10-03 AT 07:09 PM (EST)Not only is DiDi married to Chris Chandler, who led the Atlanta Falcons to the Super Bowl despite his history of injuries, but Brodie's oldest daughter Kelly is married to tennis coach Larry Stefanski, who used to coach world #1s John McEnroe, Yevgeny Kafelnikov and Marcelos Rios, as well as Tim Henman, Sebastien Grosjean, etc. Brodie was a Scientologist during the end of playing career and well into his broadcasting career (I believe he left the "church" in 1982), so at least some chunk of his money was ripped off by L.Ron's crooks, but all of his broadcasting money and pro-golf money (and he made a fortune in pro-ams and corporate events alone) came after that. Financially needy? No way. But it's easy to understand the family pressure on Erin to "live up" to Kelly and DiDi, isn't it? Somehow, I don't think spending any more time with Rob "the Barfin' Rapist" Campos would help her in that regard.
