Like I just said on the Alabama Board, The best thing that could have happened to this guy would have been for the judge in Decatur to tell him to GTFO and never come back.

Such a waste of amazing talent.

Give him time. He's only an hour or so into adapting part time gig into a full time post-NFL career. He's really, really good at thugging but it will still take at least a week or so to work up to 'killed in a drive by' status.

The only ones from that list that I consider household NFL names are Jones, Dareus, Jackson, and Smith. Some of the younger guys could be, but they haven't played enough

Why blame a judge, I have ZERO idea what happened with this incident, but it sounded bad at the time. I think in hindsight it shows a pattern of erratic behavior.
------------------------------------------
Rolando McClain has been sued by a University of Alabama student for allegedly hitting him with a vehicle and physically assaulting him in 2008.

Stanford Matthew Mangham filed a suit in Morgan County circuit court last week claiming McClain intentionally hit him twice with his vehicle at an intersection near Bryant Hall on Nov. 13, 2008. The second time caused Mangham to be thrown on the hood of McClain's vehicle, the suit says.

Mangham claims McClain then left the scene "to secure additional members of the University of Alabama football team to provide an intimidating and menacing presence." Without provocation, Mangham was verbally and physically assaulted by McClain again, the suit says.

McClain "intentionally picked the Plaintiff up and slung him to the ground," requiring multiple dental procedures and oral surgery to treat permanent injuries, according to the suit.

In terms of the average NFL fan?

Trent Richardson
Julio Jones
Le'ron Mcclain
Demeco Ryans

Are the ones I think would be identifiable instantly, which is what I would consider a household name. More of your list would be considered if we're talking about College/SEC fans.

You consider a household NFL name as someone who hasn't even played a down of pre-season football yet?

He's an idiot who will be broke before he comes out of retirement next spring. (Assuming he doesn't get himself shot in Decatur first)
