dex Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Is it even possible that Thurman or Henry have enough money left for any scam artist to squeeze out of them? Yes, I realize they were both high draft choices who got nice contracts, but they both went out and bought expensive toys(as most people would in their situation)then they both began getting in legal troubles which of course been huge lawyer fees and then came the suspensions without pay. Seems to me at this point if I'm looking for easy money from 2005 draft picks, I would go after Adam Kieft or Fanene before Thurman or Henry. At the second day guys were probably smart enough to squirrel away a few bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the upfront signing bonus each received (I don't know what it is exactly) was pretty decent I'd believe. Especially Thurman in the 2nd round had to be at least a couple million. So far, Henry's only lost 2 games' paychecks. He's 3rd round - his bonus probably wasn't too shabby either. Oh, I'd imagine there is money there to be had.

ncBengal Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I dont know or care if all this is true this time. If Odell was at the party at all he's just an arrest waiting to happen. If you are driving a car heading towards a cliff and the brakes go out, do you keep pumping the brakes thinking this time the'll work eventually driving over the cliff. OR do you say fuk this sh!t and bail? Thats what I thought. Odell is not worth the trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actium Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 PFT To the Rescue! [quote]POSTED 10:37 p.m. EDT, June 6, 2007 THURMAN CHARGES A MONEY GRAB? A league source tells us that the pool of persons who were allegedly roughed up over the weekend in Georgia by Bengals linebacker Odell Thurman has grown to four -- and that they are willing to drop all charges and put the matter behind them. In exchange for a payment in the amount of $250,000. Each. Per the source, the Thurman camp politely (or otherwise) declined. The quartet then threatened to take the thing to the media, to which the Thuman camp responded by providing the phone number to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Indeed, the charges already have hit the press. Thus, the threat to go public is, at this point, sort of meaningless. Due to the fact that the alleged victims waited until the next day to call the cops, a hearing will be held on Friday to determine whether an arrest warrant will be issued for Thurman. Thurman is currently serving a one-year suspension for violations of the NFL's substance-abuse policy. He could face separate discipline under the Personal Conduct Policy based on the outcome of the situation in Georgia.[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you go to Miami? Or am I mistaken? You should look into their club. But if you want to start playing to fight, you should probably take up kick-boxing. There are too manyplayers of American rugby that just want to hit somebody. They don't get the game at all. If any mods would like to branch this off to a rugby thread, that might be cool.

How can you admit it looks like a hoax and take issue with people defending Odell? The report came about from a rumor based site and I doubt very few people on this board have met and know the people filing the report. It's important to note if it wasn't for the claims that you say look like a Hoax there would be no need to defend Odell. At the time the report came out (from a rumor mill) a professional athlete falsely targeted by individuals trying to make a name for themselves, Prepostrous! So get off your soap box.

Dont you think that if he did do something he would have paid these guys to make it go away? I think the thing I hate about this is that people are so quick to judge someone based on their past and not give them any chance to show they have either changed or grown up. Its "he did it before, hell do it again". That kind of thinking never helps people because they are pigeonholed into "being the bad guy" and they are damned if they do and damned if the dont. That to me is the biggest bunch of BS on this board. Lets hear the whole story before we get out our nooses and pitchforks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
