The Ohio State U's, Super Awesome Buckeye, Maurice Clarett Already $1 Million in Debt

[-Slap-]

I found this on SI.com, quoting from an original story in the Miami Herald.

According to two sources, Maurice Clarett is already $1 million in debt from legal fees for his fight with the NFL and other costs. According to associates, Clarett even turned down a traditional signing bonus of $413,000 in his original contract with Denver because lawyer David Kenner wanted incentives that would pay Clarett if he became a star. That all backfired after a series of off-field events resulted in Clarett being cut. He reported to training camp at 248 pounds (at least 20 pounds overweight), was slow to return from an injury, had run-ins with coaches and was even found drinking alcohol in the team's weight room.

[Hotrod]

Holy Crap no wonder Shanny cut him. That kid is done.

[RhymesayersDU]

Wow. What an idiot. I wanted him kept on upside, but if he was boozin' while at work, he deserved to go.

Him and Shawn Kemp may have a bright future together.

[Sir Mawn]

Prolly trying to get Q drunk...

[Sir Mawn]

You guys not interested, RR? Seems he'd be a nice fit.

[bronco militia]

booz'n and benching....a killer workout

[Garcia Bronco]

What a dumb ghettio kid...good luck moron.

What a total waste of an opportunity........he has no common sense and a bad lawyer. That's not a good combo.

don't forget a sense of entitlement too

[Crushaholic]

He has nobody to blame but himself. I'm not about to feel sorry for him... :pity:

[Raidersbane]

I can guess how much effort he put into classwork at Wisconsin. The moron had a free ride and a bright future and he's pissed it all away.....he's got his head screwed on backwards and he seems to like it that way, example: chuggin a 40 in the Bronco weightroom....

[footstepsfrom#27]

I guess he went the "tastes great" route.

[westcliffe]

I saw that on SI.com as well, but I don't know if it is actually true or not. Story taken from the Miami Herald. If it is true, it is very sad for him.

[telluride]

Remarkable.

Well, perhaps he and Lawrence Phillips can now become roomies, to save money.

[GreatBronco16]

Well I couldn't be happier for the kid. Just wait, he will be on some show asking for handouts saying that all of this isn't his fault.

[Nuggets4]

He has nobody to blame but himself. I'm not about to feel sorry for him... :pity:

Exactly.

[Bronx33]

Let him fade off into the sunset and begin his life as a grease monkey manager..

[Moon§hiner]

We just wasted a comp pick on him...could be worse...we could be his attorney living on a pipe dream that he's going to hit it big someday and working for free until then.

FADERPROOF probably WISHES he went to Wisconsin... :spit:

[clint7]

I can just picture him walking around the bench press with a brown paper bag around his "40."

I love people who can learn from their mistakes. :alky:

What makes you think he knows how to change oil yet alone manage a grease monkey?

I doubt he has the competence to even be a valet. You might find out he reported your car stolen by unnamed bandits.

He isn't stupid, just incredibly irresponsible. He's the Mike Tyson of Football, except he never even got that far. If you owned a Grease Monkey oil shop, do you honestly think he would be qualified to run it? I wouldn't even let this clown touch my car. Period. If he wanted to carry the rock, he shouldn't of been carrying a 40 ounce Colt in the weight room at 248. Give me a freaking break. He should of shown up at 230 max. His playing weight is 225.

Even heavy, if he gave a crap, he could of at least made a fullback. He is just a lazy slob. If he was drinking malt liquor during weights, I would of cut him on the spot. Shanahan isn't crazy, he knows boys go out and have fun, but when your on the property, you better be ready to compete.

No wonder Rod Smith made comments a week before he was cut. Rod Smith runs that room from what I know. He's like Jerry Rice USED to be. Rod wouldn't of spoken out, and I think he held his tounge.

I honestly think Clarett thought another team would claim him. Look, if he can't make it with the Broncos, he's not going to make it anywhere. File this under D.

For Dumbass.

Now most of the distractions are gone, and hopefully, BVP was bent over and given a good spanking. Now lets go win some games.

If clarence kay can............. ???

[watermock]

I hope Shanahan talks to our QB's so they don't look like a Mini-Me John Holmes and some escaped criminal that just washed up off Alcatraz.

Those two QB's are motley to the max. I can dig it I guess, as long as they don't get in trouble.

We don't put up with that kind of behavior at Faber College.

No way he gets promoted to manager!

Argh... I hate to admit that I was one of the supporters... up until about the 2nd week of camp I really supported him. I'm not to proud to say that I was....... given bad information and all of you took me wrong.

ROFL!

[watermock]

Denver cut a bunch of first day picks. He was just the most stale of the cookies. We have three hungry backs, two hungry FB's. Sapp can run the ball if needed. We will be fine at RB.

[Mile High Shack]

I would be happy with a turnover of any flavor.....

[ro_50]

I gave him the benefit of the doubt when we drafted him. I heard good things during his press conference the day after he was drafted, but he blew his chance.

Shanny was fed up. Do you think if he cant make it here, the running back factory of the NFL, then where could he make it?

[L2M]

Ah, Maurice will do just fine. He just needs to be creative with his resume. Like this:

Maurice Clarett

Seeking position that pays money.

Experience:

2005 - Denver Broncos - Washout

Brought on board with NFL team to bolster running attack. Carried excessive weight for position, and endured long groin massages. Demonstrated persistence in salary negotiations and sacrificed personal profit for goals oriented performance. Practiced weight room multi-tasking to enhance mindset and cope with stressful working conditions. Was released because of superior work ethic.

2001-2004- Ohio State Running Back (Part-Time)

Produced superior numbers with limited exposure while aggressively pursuing position of greater responsibility. Stood for fairness and equality though civil action against large, greedy, discriminating, organization. Persecuted by team members for adhering to personal beliefs.

Skills:

Drinking, whining, quitting, dialing for pizza, acting like a running back.

[SoCalBronco]

Wow drinking in the weight room? Crap.

You won this round, DF.

[Atlas]

I don't understnd. Is it wrong to bring booze into the weight room. You would think the coaches would want it to be a more fun place for the players to hang out.

[SoCalBronco]

I think it reflects a lack of maturity. Your supposed to be focused on working out hard, not drinking. Its not supposed to be friday night, its supposed to be a workout gym, serious business.

So Fader, How many classes did this dumb a** pass at OSU? :)

[Rohirrim]

was slow to return from an injury, had run-ins with coaches and was even found drinking alcohol in the team's weight room.

When did Tuten add that? Ha!

[SoCalBronco]

Well.....you are a bitter biased Ohio State fan, but you just happened to be right as well. :)

[watermock]

Bitter doesn't describe the poser formerly known as DenFan38. As soon as he changed his handle, the curse surrounding Mike Anderson lifted.

Wait till Tate and the Hawks trounce OSU this year....He's going to be seething yet again. OSU will land third in the Big Ten and get invited to the Acorn Bowl where they well be trounced by the Squirrels and pelted from the stands by empty shells. :giggle:

[wabbit]

Remarkable.

Well, perhaps he and Lawrence Phillips can now become roomies, to save money.


Very possible...in San Quentin

Could be lovers too if Maurice plays his cards right

haha, this keeps getting better and better. couldnt of happened to a nicer guy eh Denfan? ROFL!

[-Slap-]

Some people work better when they're drinking.

I heard Ironhead Heyward used to come to practice, almost straight from the titty bar, literally reeking of booze.

Obviously Bobby Layne is the gold standard for alky football players, though. He might tip one at halftime during an exhibition game.

I'm being kind....I can't honestly come up with another two that compare to the brain freeze that led to this pick. There has certainly been higher draft picks that busted but none of them came in with as much known baggage through the door. Only one that comes to mind that was even close was Larry Phillips.

All I am comparing is the idiocy of spending a pick on a known fool. If you still haven't figured out the baggage then there is certainly no need in me wasting anymore key strokes with you.

Maybe insurance fraud, illegally obtaining a car from OSU, getting kicked off the team, suing the NFL, quitting during his combine workout, 2 years removed from football....all kinda seems like baggage to me. I realize the baggage you prefer is measured by the ounce but it is baggage nonetheless.

RB is one position we didn't NEED to draft well. Bobby Turner saw talent in him and gambled that the character issues can be fixed. It didn't happen, but it's not a big deal. Anderson, Bell and Dayne provide all the depth we need to run on anybody...AGAIN...

I'd be more concerned with a team drafting a NEED position (defensive line) with a guy who hasn't seen the field much and won't in the immediate future (Junior Siavii).
