Yeah....Phil's got a bit of a problem.....

Super dark personality traits. I used to root for him.

LIV really pulled his ass out of the fire. For now.

What did LIV pull his ass out of? No mention in the article of the gambling significantly impacting his financial well being. Frankly if you are placing $1 billion in bets and losing $100 million you are making far more money than you are losing.

I was just listening to a segment on kfan about this. His net worth is supposedly 875 million. A fool and his money are easily parted.

These rumors have been circling around Phil for decades.  Friends of mine who are in those circles know a couple of unflattering ones between Phil and MJ

By giving him a shitload of money. Which he'll end up just pissing away apparently. Frankly, he's a dumbshit.

Why does anyone give a shit what Phil does with his money? It's his business not ours or anyone elses.

He is famous and it gives people something to talk about. I mean it's not like he is starving or destroying his family. If that were an issue then yeah cause for concern. Maybe it's an issue and we don't know. But the lead is the amount of money by a famous person which is an attention grab

Phil choked hard yesterday.....hope he didn't have any money riding on it. 

Yep, Mr. Good Guy:

Ok that is definitely problematic and much more substantial.

Well, apparently he's getting the help he needs. So looks like he finally gives a shit.
