I was just thinking how much I miss watching Ron Leflore play. Then I was thinking how many other famous athletes were felons first!??

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    Billy Tibbets. Do yourself a favor and check out his story and then watch his Instagram videos. It’s utterly hilarious

    oh wait, I got it backwards.

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    I don't recall the exact sequencing, but Aaron Hernandez.

    Who is the Golf Card Guy?

    Aaron was released soon after being taken into custody. He was never resigned after by any other team

    Weren't the murders committed prior to him going pro or linked him to another while he was in college? Or am I misremembering?

    No he had a few incidents but no murders before going to the Pats. His past was a known risk for any team when he came out of college. All the murders happened while he was a Patriot. Interestingly the Lloyd murder happened about a mile away from my best friends house.

    that is pretty crazy, only a mile away. Hernandez was such a waste. He could have been so great. I remember when they drafted him and Gronk. what a duo. I remember of thinking Hernandez was more explosive and had more potential as a playmaker. little did i know...

    Well, you got the "explosive" part right anyway...

    I'm sure plenty of high school and college athletes who had charges dropped or records expunged because they were top athletes.
