In a league,where bank robbing is held to a minimum,with perception,marketing,and kick #### college stats, these players were able to make a bank full of money.The players on this list might be cut or still on active rosters and I have nothing against these guys,I applaud them, but they are robbing there teams blind. David Carr former number 1 pick,he has made a truck load of money and has never been good in the league.He is more famous for having long hair ,than throwing a football.Robert Gallery,former number 2 pick he plays and even starts but he is nothing more than a average lineman,Mike Williams former USC stud wide out ,he got his 10 million in bonuses and ballooned to 260,how he hung around for 4 years is unbelieveable.Chris Simms average in college,remember Major Applewhite he shared the job with him ,and in all fairness Applewhite was just as good as Simms,he hasn't done anything special in the league,he been employed 6 years and someone will pick him up for the 2008 season.Troy Williamson, lightening fast comming out of South Carolina,put this way there are lineman who catch the ball better than him,I heard he looked good in camp,though,Joey Harrington ,good guy but not a good pro player he was able to rob for 6 years,Ashley Lelie switches teams same results he isn't a good reciever but he made his money.Cedric Benson,got his 17 million in bonuses and he became the new Blair Thomas,by him being released in June and no one signing him that tells you how bad he is.Alex Smith former number one pick,he loss his job to P.T Barnum,I mean J.T Sullivan,and Alex can blame it on injuries and learning a new system ,but he just is not good at the NFL level.I can name 50 more players but I have other things to do,like monitor the Cowboys,search for another reciever
If Brett takes the money over playing he's the biggest fraud to lace up a pair of cleats.Brett you cry and moan for a whole month claiming you want to continue playing,now the idea of you
mulling over the 20 million or 25 million ,shows me you really don't want to play in the first place.If you want to play you turn down the money and insist to be reinstated pronto,if your intentions were to suck more money out of Green Bay for not playing your plan borders on genius.Shawn Andrews if your holding out for more cash ,I understand because humans are greedy by nature,but to sit home and say it's not about your contract,then somethings up,I read somewhere where you said it was personal well you had all off season to take care of personal business.Once again guys loose focus win they get too much money too early some of them anyway,if he wasn't rich and worked as a truck driver he would take his personal problems with him on the road with him.Shawn remember if you live to be 70 years old your going to need money to live,for your sake you might want to stick it out a few more years so your pension is taking care of and you put a way enough money to sit around for 40 years It's kind of hard going from 7 figures to 25k a year.
Javon Walker you want to retire go right ahead,and if you do decide to retire please go and get some help.it's evident mentally you are damaged goods,any man willing to give back 11 million in bonuses ,after a few bad practices something wrong.Javon practic e is for getting better you had a rough off season,give it time,maybe Al Davis can be a father figure to him,and help this guy out,but my guess he won't last more than a couple years the t in Oakland anyway.Young QB bad offensive line ,it may be a challenge to score points with consistency on offense anyway,and were aware of your diva ways ,so good luck.Steve Smith kicking your teammates butt isn't a good idea,especially a teammate that might help get you to the playoffs,and a player thats going to war for you ,not war but you guys know what i mean.You haven't met your match yet,but you keep punching guys in the eye eventually your going to catch a bad one.
Stephen Jackson smart for holding out one more injury and you will get a Kevin Jones contract .You might want to come to practice and go light,until the ink dries on a new deal can't fault you for hold out though.
Believe or not Peyton Manning is the reason for the bad fortunes of the Colts,he has stunk up the joint the last 2 weeks.You can blame the injuries for the Colts recent slide ,but Peyton Manning has to play better,he is the one who has to rally the troops and hold the fort down until the players get healthy.Six interceptions is unacceptable,I don't care if your playing with pop warner kids,your not going to when many football games fumbling and throwing picks.See Peyton is taking too many risks ,he sees the players dropping like flies and instead of playing cautious he is playing like Rex Grossman,I'm not saying Peyton isn't great but he needs to stops taking so many chances.
FIRST OF ALL , THE NAACP SHOULD BE FIGHTING THE CASE IN LOUISIANA WHERE THE BOY IS FACING 22 YEARS FOR DEFENDING HIMSELF AGAINST SOME UNRULEY YOUTH.They should not be backing Mike Vick because , Vick has lawyers for that and he plead guilty,move on Let Mike Vick do his time and move on with his life ,plus he's never playing for the Falcons again,thats wishful thinking,hey NAACP,theres a case in Georgia where a straight A student is facing ten years for recieving consensial #### sex between 2 teanagers.That is more important,than Vick who is going to be alright ,when he gets out.
The thing is this organization who did great things in the 20th century is trying to find itself in the 21st century,but this isn't the way to do it.
On the surface 45 million dollars is alot of money,but if you consider what the top 3 picks in last years draft got and the second and third picks this year got and these drafted players may pan out but they are not the caliber of Larry Johnson.
We know the stats over 750 carries the last two years almost 4000 yards basically the only bright spot in a anemic offense.With Larry feeling guilty about holding out in the first place, he might of jumped the gun,he should of demanded more guaranteed money ,think about it Calvin Johnson got 27 million in guarantees,Reggie Bush got over 20 million ,Mario Williams over 20 million,Vince Young over 20 million and there not proven players yet, Larry got a good contract but he could of did better.Like slightly less than than L.T. Think about it Frank Gore just got 14 million in bonuses, for having one good year ,and with him hanging around 2 years he''ll make more than 19 million.Duece McCallisted contract is valued at 50 million..
If the Chiefs dont get better play out of there qb LJ will carry the ball 420 times this year,and he will take a beating,8 man fronts will take a toll on your body.He will see the 19 million but HE WONT SEE 45 million,in that offense ,Brodie will have to develop in a hurry so he can take some pressure off LJ. There first round pick Bowe is going to contribute in his rookie year there no 3 year plans when your a high paid player the team wants results right away.and they have to replace Will Shields.
1.Duane Thomas was drafted by the Cowboys in the first round in the 1970 draft,even though he led the team in rushing with 803 yards he was a malcontent from the start,he helped the Cowboys win Super Bowl 6, but he lasted 2 years with them and two years with the Skins before retiring in 1974.
2. Bam Morris was drafted by the Steelers, in 1993 and paid dividends from the start, Bam a load to bring down ,and quickness to match started getting into trouble in 96, with a guilty plea for marijuana possession,he was promply cut by the Steelers,after that Bam got another shot at Nfl glory with the Ravens but he could not stay clean and was suspended for substance abuse, then assault charges and the big one Drug T rafficing he played a grand total of 75 games.As of 2006 he was playing in Indoor Leagues.
3.Stanley Wilson Sr, Primarily used as a fullback by the Bengals,he is known for his disappearing act during Super Bowl 23,he was found in a shower the day before the game on a cocaine binge,he never made it to the game ,he managed to play a total of 4 years he was suspended for the 1985 and 87 seasons, I believe now he in Prison doing 22 years for burglary.
4.Lawerence Phillips,drafted 6th overall by the Rams,in 1996 he didn't last long, lets say 2 years with the Rams ,and he was cut after refusing to attend a meeting,he started getting into trouble at Nebraska ,and he started piling up offenses more than yardage,assault,assault with a deadly weapon where he ran over some kids after losing a touch football game I believe he facing 20 years in Prison. He is one of the greatest college running backs of all time .He played for the Fins for two games ,CFL,49ERS, but trouble always followed
5.Ricky Williams ,Heisman winner,in 1998 drafted with the 5th pick by the Saints,World Class Talent ,but something happened along the way ,weed got in the way of possibly a Hall of Fame career,after the suspensions, by the time 2004 rolled around Ricky retired from the Nfl,he wanted to travel the world he said and smoke weed,he also practiced Holyistic Medicine in California,and he is reportedly a Hindu.Ricky came back in 2005 played 12 games and in 2006 failed another drug test and was suspended for the 2006 season .In 2007 he failed another test in April of 2007 ,there are other like Curtis Enis who got a check and seemed like he just didn't care anymore,Barry Foster had one outstanding year then got a new contract and promptly retired soon after Chuck Muncie could of played longer he had a nose problem,Mike Rozier,last I checked he was in his home town of Camden ,N.J wear he was shot not to long ago.
I ask this because americians kill people on the regular and beat the charges or they use the crutch that there crazy.Hell I can rattle off case after case where people have killed people and said they were mentally impaired at the time.How about the lady in Texas , I believe she drowned all 5 of her kids and I believe shes in a mental hospital being observed.
How about the lady who shot her husband in the back,her husband was a preacher , I BELIEVED he wanted kinky sex with his wife ,and that was enough to set her off..She got no time.The nerve of the guy.
What about the inhumane way SOME Preist treat lil boys,and they go from one church to the next to continue there inhumane ways.There not even charged with a crime,now this brings me to Michael Vick.I believe he is guilty as sin but if he goes to prison for dog fighting you have to ask yourself is a dogs life more important than a human beings, what he is charged with is a crime I'm not debating that but ITS DOGS ,DOGS AREN'T PEOPLE,
THERE talking up to five years in prison ,5 years for for transporting dogs across state lines and fighting.Some murderers do less time.Hell if you were white and killed a minorities from 1860 up until 1970 and you hailed from a southern state 9 times out of 10 you wouldn't been charged with a crime at all.IF you think I'M rambling look at the history,oh I forgot the justice department would open the case again 40 years later when the assailants were old or dead.
NOW you have the FBI and Congress trying to put famous athlete in prison for dog fighting ,this case is getting the same attention as O.J Simpson and you know what I DON'T KNOW IF jUICE DID IT,BUT I FEEL HE KNOWS WHO did it,and I believe he beat the charges once again is a dogs life just as important,as a humans because people kill people for all sorts of reasons and plenty of them beat the charges or get slap on the wrist.
OKAY the neighborhoods are filled with criminals,the schools are failing,the country is in war,gas prices are out of control,there is a health care crises, immigration,and you have a congressman looking to prosecute Mike Vick for his alledged dog fighting.Im at a lost for words,well not really,then it sounds like Congress is trying to bully the the local sheriff Goodell.
Yes dog fighting is wrong a felony,but this is a little too much,if half the players were fighting dogs then you have a situation where congress should interact.This isn't the case but once again our government and it's officials are off base.This is totally different than steroids steroids is wide spread through out baseball and the USA.
This congressman is trying to get props or #### points,or votes he probably could care less about dogs.There is too much going on in the USA , congress must be really bored if there going to put alot of effort in Michael Vick and his dog activities
Let the local authorities handle this investigation, and the NFL will make a decision on what the local authorities find out.Hey congress i live in nj and my property taxes are outrageous,can you investigate ,and there are businesses galore that pay taxes so whats up.Hey congress va vets need upgraded hospitals can you investigate,hey congress there are tons of illegals walking around looking for work can you investigate,NO YOUR NOT BECAUSE THERE NAME IS NOT MIKE VICK .What a joke
That Brett Farve showed up for mini camp,i guess the people in Green Bay,they are a young outfit who are going to struggle to win 7 games.By the way i don't care about all the records he has achieved he is not a better quarterback than Marino.If Don SHULA WOULD OF CONCENTRATED ON DEFENSE Marino might of won a couple of Super Bowls.In his latter years as a coach Shula and his coordinators were clueless on defense. Dan Marino was a cool customer he had a flair about him,he still is cool and magnetic ,this #### guy I mean Farve guy is a brat and a whiner ,nothing cool about him,he is talented though.
That T. O has bought in to Bums son, program after week one if T.O gets two balls thrown his way the real T.O will show his real colors,he is all about T.O so when he runs all threw Wade Philips remember where you heard it first.
That the Raiders made improvements on paper they have a rookie coach and a wooden qb named Walter who is going to lose his starting job by week 4 ,to Russell,see Walter is slow footed and the line will still stink.
That Mike Vick is totally involved in the dog fighting business ,he's going to pay a fine and maybe be suspended a few games and proceed to lead the Falons to 7 or 8 wins.Then Vick will be on his way to another team.Can't blame the recievers this time because Joe Horn is legit,and a healthy Alge Crumpler should be enough.
That Keyshawn Johnson is visiting the Titans ,if the money is right he''ll sign he''ll play in London if the money is right.Siberia etc.
That Floyd Landis continues to lie and lie and Lie,
That Paris is going to jail , that LOhan is average actress and Britney can't sing a lick
That Floyd Mayweather is lying about retiring he can't do nothing as well as he fights
That Antonio Bryant is blowing his career
That A-ROD is considered Mr.April April Rod
That Clemens will never retire as along as he can pitch ,
That there showing the movie Brokeback Mountain in elementary schools across America
That Rocky has a statue in Philly ,and Bernard Hopkins, and Joe Frazier doesn't
