diots. Portis career earnings 43.1M in 9 seasons. Was reported broke owing more than 5M in 2015, 5 years removed from league. Yikes.


A girl I went to HS with married an NFL player who lost most of his savings due to bad advice from a crooked investment adviser. He played a lot longer than he wanted to because he needed the money. Not saying this was Portis's situation but it can happen. Very few people are equipped to manage that kind of wealth, so you hand it over to someone who's supposed to be trustworthy. If you choose badly...

Joe Horn was always a Grade A piece of shite. Anyone with a clue knew that.

Yeah.

This has nothing to do with race but these raced obsessed insecure dudes have to make everything about it.

I would never engage in a criminal enterprise with Joe Horn because he seems like the type to rat everybody out when shite hits the fan.

In a fun twist, the 10th player involved is former patriot great (lol) Reche Caldwell. Known for dropping passes while not being covered and having the biggest eyes known to man




Also known for getting arrested almost immediately after getting out of the league in hilarious manner After googling how to sell drugs

quote:

In a frankly hilarious portrait of a criminal mastermind except without the mind part, David Fleming of ESPN details how exactly Caldwell ended up serving a 27-month sentence for a laundry list of charges from gambling to drug importing. But the amazing part of Caldwell’s story is how oblivious he was to the fact he was being arrested multiple times. When he was tracking a UPS shipment of drugs from China on his smart (or not) phone, it wasn’t until he signed for the package that he realized he had been busted again. “I Googled it, baby!,” Caldwell explained to Fleming, when asked how he ended up in a comfortable Florida prison.

When a SWAT team broke down the door of the storefront gambling parlor he was running across the street from an elementary school (with coffee cans stuffed full of cash), he was eating a sandwich and wondering why they were so aggressive. “Damn, man, you blasted the door with a tank?,” he asked. “Why didn’t ya just knock? I woulda let y’all in.”






And ALSO now known for this hilarious story told by Asante Samuel a few days ago

How do these dummy’s not know how this stuff ends? These healthcare companies have wholesale internal audit teams that do nothing but flag and verify claims over xxx value. You will always always be caught.

Of course, if you’re ripping off Medicaid you’ll probably get away with it.

You would be wrong unless they did a major change in the last 20 years.

Wrestler Hacksaw Jim Duggan had the NFL pay for some or all of his kidney cancer treatment in the late 90s despite his NFL career ending in the 1970s after being released by the Falcons.

The list I am seeing-

Portis
Rogers
Robert McCune
John Eubanks
Tamarick Vanover
Ceandris Browb
James Butler
Fredrick Bennett
Etrick Pruitt
Cornell Buckhalter


A lot of these guys were drafted in the mid-2000s, like 2005, and they tend to be overwhelmingly from the southeast like Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, etc.

Ettrick Pruitt is on the list, for example. From Alabama, played for Southern Miss, was a major sub for the Seahawks team that lost to the Steelers. He and one of my HS teammates spent Super Bowl week interviewing each other as a goof because both were getting overlooked by the rest of the media.

Schilling was a big game fan and decided to build his own game studio in Rhode Island with government help plus his own fortune of $50m

It failed. Badly. And that’s why Schilling is not popular in that state, though the SEC charged Wells Fargo and the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation with securities fraud, as both knew the loan given to the company wasn’t enough to finish work but didn’t notify bond investors of that risk.

The league does offer some players five years of medical, dental and prescription drug coverage, up to $5,250 in reimbursement for some joint replacement surgery, two free visits with a psychiatrist and preferred access to top-tier neurological treatment providers. Players also have a pension.

I’ll admit I’ve made some boneheaded money moves in my life, I’m but I hope that if I ever got a windfall amount of money that I’d put it in something that I couldn’t easily get at that would pay me income over time from the earnings.

He pissed away a ton of that cash but Jeff Rubin is also largely responsible.
