Maurice Clarett - What a waste of talent an a life
 

http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/story?id=2297018&page=1

I was going to cut/paste some of the story, but there is so much to choose from, just read it and see for yourself what a waste this is.|banghead|

That's a real tear-jerker.

The BEST part of that story IMHO is:

"...that he'd been Maced and tasered, that he'd been wearing a bulletproof vest..."

I have a feeling the taser doesn't work to well on someone wearing a bullet proof vest |thumb

yeah.. that's when they first found out he was wearing one. They went to taser him and drag him out the car and... hmmm... k, that didn't work.. So they used pepper spray.

Of course it's been all over the news here the last 2 days. Just a bunch of head shaking mostly. Not much more you can do.

He has a total of 6.1 mil in bonds set on him now, between the 2 cases. He won't see the street for a long time.

I can't think of one, but I know there's a Lawrence Phillips joke in here someplace as well.

Thats a good read... great story. Thanks for sharing the link - else I would have never known about this. Now it gives me something to talk about with my football buddies. ;)

I guess my favorite part is the "I’m not even a signed rookie, but I demand you fire this trainer of 10 years". That screams spoiled to me.

Lawrence Philips use to be #1 on wasted talent, but Marice blew past him. Art Schlister and Todd Marovich and Ryan Leaf are still top 5 though!

Art Schlister? We named a drink after him when I was in High School |thumb

And what would be in that? Betting on drinks you dont have?

Two Buckeyes in the top 5. I'm so proud. *sigh*

LOL, you beat me to it... I thought of that as I was mowing the grass.

he had several semi-auto guns and a machette in the car and he was caught a few miles away from a potential witness from his first trial.

i dont think that adds up too well.
