JPL7 Posted November 1, 2023 Posted November 1, 2023 we have found the answer to our linebacker prayers, guys! (Sarcasm) https://www.thestreet.com/sports/former-player-wants-back-nfl-trading-card-business-goes-bust?puc=yahoo&cm_ven=YAHOO Haha. I remember reading about his retirement and wondered why he couldn’t just do both? You get a six month off-season during the NFL, so if you’re really that gung ho about selling stupid cards, do it then. 2 Quote
prissythecat Posted November 1, 2023 Posted November 1, 2023 He's trying to come back because he was caught scamming customers 1 2 Quote
DrDawkinstein Posted November 1, 2023 Posted November 1, 2023 No thanks, but this does remind me of the LB we signed from the Texans who then retired once Bernard was named starter. Wonder if he's still interested.... Quote

Big Turk Posted November 1, 2023 Posted November 1, 2023 Guess those Pokeman cards weren't working out as well as he thought... 1 Quote
78thealltimegreat Posted November 1, 2023 Posted November 1, 2023 The Pokémon business must not be going to well…hey he was a heck of a player but he would probably be a highest bidder kinda guy to afford his Pokémon fix like a junkie looking for the purest crack 1 Quote
1ManRaid Posted November 1, 2023 Posted November 1, 2023 Coulda swore we already had a thread on this (I remember someone bringing up the YouTube series documenting him being busted for scamming) but oh well can't find it now. He's as low character as they come, don't want him anywhere near the team. He didn't retire just to sell cards, he thought he could make more money SCAMMING people with Pokémon cards than by being a mediocre NFL player (or at least make the money with less effort). He hired people he could teach to rig and manipulate the carnival style live streams. Long story short, they had ways of knowing what cards were in the packs, and would do slight of hand to rig the bets on what kinds of cards were in the packs being bought and opened live. Got busted and banned despite being part owner of the platform it was on, now wants back into football. Quote

Buffalo03 Posted November 2, 2023 Posted November 2, 2023 It says he just tried out for the Panthers. There's the pipeline 1 Quote
