McFADDEN’S AGENT CONFIRMS PATERNITY ISSUES
Posted by Mike Florio on February 26, 2008, 10:01 a.m.

With rumors swirling that Arkansas running back Darren McFadden has fathered as many as four children with four different women, his agent, Ian Greengross, confirms that there are three children who might be McFadden’s.

McFadden submitted to a paternity test for a child born last year, and it was determined that he wasn’t the father. But a problem with the chain of custody will require McFadden to take the test again. (Apparently, Kramer spilled spaghetti sauce on the last one.)

Two other kids, one due to be born in July and the other one in August, were allegedly fathered by McFadden. Greengross told the Miami Herald that McFadden will submit to testing after the kids are born.

Greengross says that McFadden has no other children.

As Florio says, there are worse pastimes... dog fighting, etc.

Still you gotta question his judgement if only to know that when women know you about to get in the league, you gotta be more careful, cuz they wanna go to the league too.

As always, thanks for the info WG. Your statement is so true and I never understand why these guys don't realize it.

It will call into question his character. That's only natural given the huge amount of money they will have to invest in these guys.

It has nothing to do with his on field ability but it brings into question his ability to not get himself into situations he should avoid. The nightclub fight coupled with the fact that he has possibly had 3-4 children, with 3-4 different women, and the dude isn't even 21 yet doesn't bode well, at all, for his decision making ability.

I had a child, in high school, and that was all the bad decision making I needed to learn to be a lot smarter about what I was doing.

I'm not saying Dmac isn't a good guy, he probably is, but he's gotta learn, quickly, to make better decisions.

It's not children per se, but the irresponsibility of the Shawn Kemp/Johnny Appleseed act he seems to be on.

Anyone think this positively impacts his draft status?

I witnessed it first hand when I was undergrad. There were a female that I personally knew had to have a restraining order placed against her, because the dude she dated all throughout college dumped her just before his senior year when he knew he was going to the league. She literally stalked him until he left school to prepare for the draft.

Just saying it's nothing new...and he McFadden should've known better.

You're right. I've seen it plenty of times as well. I guess it is a maturity thing for these young athletes. Or maybe a lack thereof.

Here at Arizona a girl went to the Administration and told them to give her a full ride or she was going to "bring down the basketball program."

They didn't take her seriously. A week later she accused one of the players, a 19 year old kid at the time (she was 24) of rape. Khalid Reeves' name got dragged through the mud by the press and her name never once got mentioned that I remember.

Her rape case ended up being dropped by the authorities when 9 of the active 12 players on the team admitted that they had been with her and she liked things "freaky."

I always felt she should have been charged with something and she never was.

I see it as a flaw in our legal system.

It seems when the accuser turns out to be a liar and making a false claim, the case is often-times dropped rather than charges filed against the lying party.

There need to be more ramifications for making up fraudulent claims.

I remember that story vaguely Hos. I agree that bringing false claims or in this case extortion should be pursued more enthusiastically by police and prosecuters in cases similar to this.

As an aside, Khalid Reeves had a nice game. I played against him in basketball camps and in AAU games.

 

[kojak]

Emmmm... nope. I'd secure my money. THEN, I'd "be knockin' up 'hoes' on the regular".

I guess they don't teach economics at Arkansas....

Now dadgummit we just got the electricity and them dad gumb sewer pipes. And nows you all r preaching about econmics? Sheesh!! LIB!!

 

[sbark]

I wouldn't hold it against him but if he's saying he has 2 on the way, and he's in a paternity suit over another one? 3 kids, 3 different women, and the dude can't even legally buy beer yet?

That doesn't bode well for his choice making ability.

Seems like he is hitting the right hole, but is "outrunning" his protection...
.......as far as "choices" go

Other than this travesty you know what I remember most about Khalid? He had a Toyota Corolla that had the steering wheel on the right side of the car. Don't ask me why that sticks out, but it does.

so do you know who the other 8 players were? also was the first paragraph a joke, or did the u of a administration really confirmed that such exchange took place prior to the rape allegation by khalid reeves?

I was coaching there at the time. The coaching staffs of every sport were called to the Administration for a meeting to discuss what was about to happen and how we needed to meet with our athletes.

I know 5 of the players who came forward, but won't drag their names in the mud.

thanks for the info. i remember the case, but i didn't know she was 24. for some obscure reasons, i remember this girl as an under-aged minor. of course that was a long time ago, and my memory is not getting better as time progresses.

 

[BigDave95]

The only question I have is if we package all those picks and trade up and draft McFadden.....do we have any kind of draft rights to all these illegitimate children???

Exclusive negotiating periods?
Right of first refusal?
Anything?

If so, it might be worth it. Any kid with DMac DNA is good enough to play for my team!!

Some people fire out babies like a....

My memory is just as screwed up. I sent you a PM. I was with Don Bacon when I learned of this. I coached with him at Sahuaro High School, so this had to be shared with us at a football seminar at the UA and would be several years before I went there for a year.

Don had 2 boys make it to the NFL, Barry and Omar, but neither lasted long. He also coached the Bates brothers, Mario and Michael. Great man.

My apologies for mispeaking the time ealier. I am 100% sure she was in here 20's and Khalid was like 19. Of that I am not remembering wrong.

It's funny that is what sticks out most. I bet he didn't have that Corolla after the Heat drafted him.
