    It's a real shame that he was blessed with such a natural talent, yet chooses to completely waste it.

    I think it was his 3rd game as a freshman he pushed Coach Tressel on the sidelines, on national TV, for taking him out. When he was fighting to get into the NFL his sidekick/advisor/mentor was Jim(Do you know how many people I've assaulted)Brown. He tried to pal with Lebron James but his people knew Clarett was trouble. Disappointed parents. Disappointed they didn't get to live off of him. He was a failure from day one because he had no parenting.

    It's never a good sign, travelling with guns, vodka and a lint roller. What a waste.

    That was a really nice lint roller too.


    Apparently he was headed in the direction of a guys house who was going to testify against him in a robbery case the following week.

    I heard he had just graduated this past May from the Lawrence Phillips/Marcus Vick School of Disciplinary Action and Self-Composure...

    Man, what a shame, all these guys have to do is behave for a couple of years, and they could have it made if they sign a contract with a handsome signing bonus.

    What I'd have given for that god-given ability these clowns have (or had).

    You've never seen Pai Mei's lint roller technique. It's quite deadly.

    Not to trumpet peoples' failings, but it's examples like this that need to be shown to more young kids. Show them that, no matter how talented they may seem to be, nothing is guaranteed. Get your "stuff" together, focus on the long term picture and seek out good mentors, not sycophants.

    I agree with Gilles to an extent - it ought to be trumpeted - for a finale, present the Loser with a Has-been Trophy.

    The arrest will not affect Clarett's status with the team, Terry (The coach)said.

    "We gave him a chance and now we'll wait to see what happens," he said. "I've seen far worse situations than this."

    FAR WORSE???? The guy was driving around wearing a bullet proof vest with a couple loaded guns in the car. The only way it could get worse is if he had the AK-47 out the window shooting at people while swigging on that bottle of Grey Goose.
