To be clear, I have 0 info on Manning’s hours. My hunch is based exclusively on watching him on the sidelines and my attention to the work ethic of everyone else I know who has banked 50 mil.
So by watching him on the sidelines you can tell he doesn't work 40 hours/week? Ok. Just admit that part of your comment was BS. There are plenty of valid criticisms to be made without making crap up.
People that are hugely successful in life are often different. I personally know several people who have made more money than I ever will and more than they can spend. And yet they continue working their asses off. I don't really understand it - I would be playing golf everyday until I got bored of that and then I would travel and then I would play more golf and then I might work on a few fun projects or something... But that is one of the reasons why I don't have that kind of money and never will - they are different. I won't guess which bucket Manning falls into because I don't know - but I won't assume he's not working hard just because he made a lot of money.
