for all of the unsold Chad Johnson jerseys
Apparently it’s going to cost Chad Johnson somewhere around the $4 million US dollar mark in order to buy back all of those worthless C.Johnson/Johnson jersey’s Reebok invested in—otherwise those Ochos Cinco jerseys (which would most certainly be a hit) will never get printed for him…let alone for the masses.
Does anyone else have the sneaking suspicion that this is all a scheme by Reebok to unload the shitty Halloween orange Chad Johnson Bengals jerseys?
I think Reebok needs to lighten the fuck up. First of all those jersey’s cost them no more then $2 each to make in China or Mexico. Second of all it’s more then likely that a Miguel “Ochos Cinco” Juarez had a hand in making one of those jerseys. Third of all slapping “Ocho Cincos” on the back of those tacky jersey’s would be the best thing they’ve ever done to them. And last and completely unrelated Vince Young is a total pussy and just needs to give up the game of football forever.
And Youre the Minnesota Vikings
You know you shouldn’t…but
ESPN
MINNEAPOLIS — The Minnesota Vikings have declined to comment on allegations by the Green Bay Packers that they made inappropriate contact with quarterback Brett Favre.
Vikings spokesman Bob Hagan issued a two-sentence statement on Thursday that said the Vikings “are not commenting on the issue. These types of matters are handled by the league.”
The Packers filed a tampering charge with the league, contending Favre, who has asked the Packers for his release, has been talking with Vikings offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell. The two became friends when Bevell was an assistant coach with the Packers.
A source in Green Bay told ESPN.com’s John Clayton the Packers believe they have a strong case against the Vikings. First, they believe the Vikings were willing to talk to Favre in order to cause chaos within the Packers family during the summer.
Another source suggested Favre might have had a conversation with Vikings coach Brad Childress.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Wednesday the league had no comment. The Vikings open the season in Green Bay.
Childress has said in recent days that the Vikings are content with Tarvaris Jackson as their starting quarterback.
On June 20, Favre, who retired on March 3, called Packers coach Mike McCarthy and told him he had the “itch” to return to the NFL. On Saturday, Packers general manager Ted Thompson said Favre could return to active status on the Packers if he comes out of retirement, but his role would not be determined. During Favre’s retirement, Aaron Rodgers has been considered Favre’s successor.
If the Packers can prove the Vikings tampered with Favre, they could be subject to fines or a possible loss of a draft choice.
And like the Vikings…everything it
Michael Vick Files for bankruptcy protection
This is all crazy to me because a judge allowed him to keep $17.5 million of his advance money even though the Falcons wanted it back. So where did that $17.5 million go? Don’t tell me this guy had $17.5 Million dollars in outstanding bills on top of what we learned today!
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Imprisoned quarterback Michael Vick filed for bankruptcy protection while serving time for federal dogfighting charges, saying he owes between $10 million and $50 million to creditors.
Vick filed Chapter 11 papers in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Newport News on Monday. The seven largest creditors listed in the court papers are owed a total of about $12.8 million.
Vick is serving a 23-month prison sentence at the U.S. Penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan., after pleading guilty last year to bankrolling a dogfighting ring. He was subsequently suspended indefinitely without pay and lost all his major sponsors, including Nike. He also faces state charges related to dogfighting.
The suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback “will seek to rebuild his life and career” upon his release, according to the filings.
The debt includes part of a signing bonus that the Falcons are seeking to recover.
After the plea on dogfighting charges, the Falcons tried to recover about $20 million in bonuses Vick earned from 2004 to 2007. But a federal judge held that Vick is entitled to keep all but $3.75 million of the money paid to him for playing football through the 2014 season.
According to the filings, Vick’s other debts include $4.5 million owed to Richmond-based Joel Enterprises Inc., and $550,0000 owed to Radtke Sports Inc. for breach of contract.
In May, a federal judge ordered Vick to repay about $2.5 million to a Canadian bank for defaulting on a loan. The Royal Bank of Canada had sued Vick in September, arguing his guilty plea to a federal dogfighting charge — and the resulting impact on his career — prevented him from repaying the loan.
A default judgment for $1.08 million also was entered in January against Vick and a business partner in a lawsuit brought by Wachovia Bank over a loan for an Atlanta-area wine shop and restaurant.
Taking loans from Canadian banks? Is that normal? Or had he tapped out every American bank. Were the Canadians the only ones stupid enough to give him a loan based on future NFL contracts? Or did Vick take out the loan despite his HUGE NFL advance. Maybe he just “forgot” to pay it back.
Michael better be taking his weight conditioning seriously while in prison because an NFL backup career is probably his only shot at being able to live comfortably once again.
