Clinton Portis files for Bankruptcy

I just mean that he isn't going to make enough doing that to pay off all of his debts

He won't have to, that's why he filed for bankruptcy.

He was on ESPN980 and explained what happened. It's a sad deal.

The best thing he could probably do is attempt an NFL comeback, but i'm not sure how that would work because he sued the NFL in the concussion lawsuit. I think he would probably make a good backup RB, and he for sure was a beast in pass blocking, but i'm not sure at 34 would he have the work ethic to keep in shape and attend practice. He would not be babied on another team like he was here. But, i think if you sign him at veteran minimum he would not be any risk.

he's way to old now and probably out of football shape. you saw how well cooley's comeback went.

RB is a young man's position, nobody would want him at this point.

Not to say I don't need to lose a few (or dozen) LBs, but Portis was looking a little chunky last time I saw him on TV. Typically it seems like the skill players get fat post-football and the linemen get all skinny.

a lot of those linemen aren't naturally chunky and are basically force feeding themselves. the ones that want to live past 60 do the smart thing and ditch the extra weight.

Yeah, I heard that radio segment as well.

1. He said he bought his mom a house paid in full. Then someone took out a mortgage/loan on it that he didnt even know about and the mortgage/loan defaulted. Czabe pressed him saying "how can you be responsible for a loan you didnt even sign or see?" ... portis said that is what he is fighting right now.

I am guessing only the people named on the home's title could take out a loan, im guessing his mom took out a loan on the house.

2. casino investment went wrong. apparently lots of star athletes on this deal but clinton was named as "primary" or something like that. he said he was the lead guy bc he was making money back then .... he is currently suing the investment dealer guy.

sad to see but not unexpected. money goes quick.

The ultimate trifling move. This is why some people don't deserve shit. Probably went to the government for a handout modification afterwards.

Mark Brunell also wound up filing for bankruptcy a few years back as well.

brunell got suckered into a bad real estate investment scheme of some kind. he talked about it on 980 a while back, but i forget the details.

as for his mom's house, if he paid it in full and signed it over to her (bad move), then someone could trick her into signing a mortgage and the house could be taken without his signature or involvement, and he could be trying to fight it as predatory.

i don't really care enough to look into it.
