Too bad we didn't have a Calvin Hill at that time.
Hard to believe he even made it considering the childhood nightmare of beatings and molestation.

Yikes is right!
Poor guy. I wish I was rich enough to help guys like that... To give him a second chance.

There is a good chance that you don't like me, but there is a better chance that I don't care.
If I'm not insulting you, I'm probably not aware that you exist.
Jerry Jones in the draft room is suicide on the football field. The line of scrimmage is EVERYTHING. Something Jerry doesn't understand.

That really sucks.
Man, his mother didn't play around did she?
I am a strong believer that when you raise children in a household that doesn't provide love and doesn't value education, then you are setting them up for a lifetime of failure.
Now, a child can escape that type of negativity but it is extremely difficult and the mental anguish can eat away at you for a lifetime.

I don't know whether to be pissed at him or feel sorry for him. 17 credits from a college degree and skipping child support payments? No excuse for that. He can change his future if not his past.

Is it possible for one guy to have the world's worst mother AND the world's worst brother?

I'm guessing the money he got for those rings went pretty fast. And JJ's "worried about his future" remark proved quite prophetic.

You'd be wasting your money.
People like him would put you from a Honda to a Huffy.
Learn from his mistake,don't try to help those who are beyond help.
He wanted to be a hero...he ended up a zero.

Pretty sad story right there. Bad from the get go, but when a poor person all of the sudden has tons of cash, well, it's a recipe for diaster if no guidence is given...that and drugs, works wonders every time.
Wonder how Quincy Carter is doing now days?

The dark side of NFL success is pretty rough. Man, a sad story.
