Freddie Mitchell goes bust... again

Freddie Mitchell's first career as an NFL WR didn't exactly work out that well. Unfortunately, the self professed people's champ's second career as a restaurateur doesn't seem to have worked any better...
Former NFL player Freddie Mitchell must turn over the keys to Brothers' Bar-B-Q in Lakeland, Polk County Judge Anne H. Kaylor ruled Friday. Mitchell had entered into a lease-to-own agreement with the owner, Mary Harris, court records show. The former Philadelphia Eagles player paid about $15,000 but still owed $80,000, according to court records. Harris sued to get the now-closed restaurant back.
In case you're wondering, this is the same restaurant that a package was sent through FedEx(to FredEX!) full of marijuana....
There was also his career as a substitute teacher...
Suffice to say, Freddie's post football career has certainly not gone well. The tone of all this is jokey... but honestly it's kind of sad what's happened to him.
I wonder if he'll somehow blame this on Donovan McNabb as well?

Thats unfortunate. But honestly, I don’t feel bad. At one point he had money, regardless if he was in the NFL for a long time or not is irrelevant. You blow your money and go bankrupt. Its on you. We are all out here working an honest days living.

I feel bad for him and wish him luck. If he’d known when to keep his mouth shut, he’d probably have still been on the roster in at least 2005 and at least still able to scrap around the bottom of some NFL rosters.
TO’s a bigger a pain in the ass, but super talented. Freddy was just enough of a thorn in Andy (and probably really Donovan’s) without the level of production to get him a bunch of chances.
But yeah, he should have invested that first-round money better. Anyone’s career can end at any time, but NFL players are always 1 play away from being unemployed.
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
Do you remember when Steve Smith went on a campaign against Freddie Mitchell
for being drafted ahead of him, It was classic.

Yeah it was a 50% coffee, 50% viagra blend I think. Nothing like pitching a tent at 6 am.

Yeah, there a lot of "jailbaite" out there man.
I don’t advocate any RKelly stuff, but some of those girls look 25+. Must be something in the food that getting these girls to look older sooner. Or maybe they all just want to look like tramps.

Philly overlooking Chiefs???
Dropping in to see how much dialogue there is on the Chiefs coming to town. It appears that everyone is overlooking us. I am encouraged and feel like we can get a steal. We want what your franchise has, sustained winning. Good luck this Sunday. interesting storyline that our HC and DC came from the Cardinals who you met twice last year and in the playoffs. Do you expect 10 wild cat plays for Vick like Peter King is reporting?

I’m certainly not in Andy Reid’s head, but if I had to guess I would say Vick gets 8-12 plays.

don't expect to get off easy
the birds got flat out embarrassed last weekend. andy isn’t going to have that happen again if he can help it. So long as Cassel is no Drew Brees (which he’s not), we have less to worry about right off the bat.
I do, Andy rarely losses 2 in a row.
This week is major revenge, somebody is getting a spanking.
Kolb will shred this team. Don’t worry guys, this is gonna be a laugher. They are gonna let a lot of frustration out on the Chiefs.

I just hate getting to confident, especially after we just got raped last week. But I obviously know we have a very good chance at winning, but nothing is definite. Its true though… Andy rarely loses 2 in a row

this may or may not be news but just because the fans of a team aren’t talking about the next opponent doesn’t mean the actual players are overlooking that opponent.
With that said, the Chiefs are considerably less scary without Tony “Greatest TE on Earth” Gonzalez and the fact that you are going up against a defense that just got embarrassed last week does not bode well for the Chiefs.

I'd like to thank my hands for being so good
Evidently his ribs weren’t as good as his famous hands.
And he hasn’t updated his website since July. Freddie, where are you? We need to hear from the people’s champ!! Could he be busy trying out for a UFL team?
Sometimes it's just fun to take the family for a spin around the lake in the old boat. Even if it's not your family or your boat, and they're screaming for you to stop.

One of the best lines ever
