Brandon Browner in some serious trouble...

But what the actual fuck is wrong with people, especially these current/former athletes who should at a minimum have the resources to live a comfortable middle class life??

God damn.

It's sad what happens to a lot of these guys. Many of them live as if the paychecks will keep on coming and they don't plan for retirement.

they've been superstars and propped up on a pedestal their entire lives and haven't had to face consequences. They think this is the norm.

LeSean McCoy hired?

I think mdc1's got a theory.

but it's hard to separate with these guys, when they fall into two categories - overentitled douchebags who were used to getting their way all their lives because of their athletic talent, and who just assumed they would get away with any bad behavior versus the guys whose behavior changed after football, with some CTE indication.

Not to waive the CTE wand and clear all of these guys, but we've heard it more than once that sometimes, their behavior changes completely from being normal, decent human beings to being depressed or violent.

someone mentions that athletes as a group are more likely to commit crimes or find themselves in these situations.

For all of you out there who work in an office somewhere... how many of your co-workers in your career were convicted of a felony? do you know of anyone? If you do, is it just ONE Person and out of how many thousands of people who worked in your organization over the years?

those who participate in violent sports and then go on to make a living at it, are violent in nature, so that domestic violence reports with these guys are never a surprise. Disgusting and sick, yes, surprising, no. And as jcn points out, some of it can be directly attributable to CTE, imv

Are you fucking kidding me??

Awesome parallel. I notice you aren't asking let's say people who work in a restaurant if people have committed a felony. Or people in the construction business or waste management.

Most office jobs have a specific requirement that you aren't a felon before taking the job, yet there are a lot of cases of white-collar crimes of embezzlement and fraud, not to mention things like sexual harassment and discrimination.

operation, where 75% of the staff are felons, and typically violent crimes.

I guess you should flip that around and ask if anyone's ever scouted them to see if those guys can play football.

First of all, I was simply asking a question. We will see what the responses are.

Yes of course you have instances of white collar crimes. How many people here have worked with someone who went to trial for that? Not that it never happens because of course it does. Just that the numbers are low. Sexual harassment is not a felony. The point I am making is that it is significantly lower.

If you are saying that because someone gets screened for a felony before being hired and does not have one on record at that time, does that mean that person most likely will not commit one in the future?

that picking strictly office environments is a ridiculous attempt to make a point.

But if you didn't grasp that from my response, thinking you were on to something makes more sense to me now.

A former coworker from my first job out of college is still doing time for molesting kids...another from a more recent job did time for robbing banks to pay for his opioid habit...so there’s 2...

That aside, I get your point, while maybe not liking your style. I don’t know the stats, but it’s no stretch to say a lot of former athletes were used to a life of luxury which included women throwing themselves at them for years, and sometimes struggle no longer getting that kind of attention, much less the kind of income they were used to.

Now, not all who fit that bill turn to violence and end up being scumbag criminals as might be so in this case. Many slowly adapt to a normal life, of course.

Have to do with breaking into his ex house and threatening to kill her. Can someone please explain this to me?

Eric, unless you ask how many convicted felons are currently playing in the NFL.

Otherwise your question should be how many former office workers are convicted felons and that's about as irrelevant as the first question.

Just anecdotally, I worked with a guy who took his corporate credit card, racked up thousands of dollars of fraudulent charges, was fired, and charged with and plead guilty to a felony.

not a violent crime, but felony is a felony on a job application.

it's like something new every other day with the NFL and violence. Jesus Christ.

I can't wait for the next OBJ and SB workout videos with McCoy and Browner.

so guys making millions of dollars, spend millions of dollars. When their playing days and paychecks end, they are ill-equipped to get a "regular" job (no training or experience), can't maintain their posh lifestyle and get desperate.

Some issues at Seattle, and even gave lil Bill a hard time his one year there...which is why the dumped him for Gilmore?

because I know quite a few office workers with DUIs...

who is currently accused of murder, and this guy's daughter is also accused for helping him. The guys sister was arrested also for trying to bribe a witness....Oh....I work in an office

That led the cops right to him....typical."

Very little. The only thing I can think of is that during his career, he gave his ex many expensive gifts including the Rolex. Maybe he feel entitled to getting those valuables back since he is probably out of savings. Just a guess
