Title: Pro Athletes in the Penitentiary-How Many Do You Remember? Post by: Marshal Dillon on April 15, 2015, 04:19:37 PM Some surprises on the list for me.
Quote Mookie Blaylock Blaylock, once an NBA All-Star, struggled with alcohol addiction after his retirement, and last year was sent to prison for seven years for vehicular homicide related to a crash in which he killed Monica Murphy in a head-on collision in Atlanta. Blaylock was a first-round draft pick out of Oklahoma in 1989, and played 13 years in the NBA, mostly with the Atlanta Hawks. Popular for his unselfish style of play, his name was briefly used by the band that became Pearl Jam, which named their first album, "Ten," after his jersey number. Quote Dave Meggett Once an electric running back and punt returner, Meggett was sentenced to 30 years in prison in 2010 for criminal sexual conduct and burglary stemming from an eencounter with a college student at her house in North Charleston, South Carolina. Meggett played in the NFL from 1989 to 1998, mostly with the New York Giants. http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/aaron-hernandez/players-turned-prisoners-ex-pro-athletes-who-are-behind-bars-n342056 :dog: |
