Darren McFadden creating problems for himself?
[picappgallerysingle id="678106"]
Oakland Raiders RB Darren McFadden is poised for a breakout year in my mind, but he might also be heading for a break up year. According to Mediatakeout.com, McFadden is supposedly in a current relationship with a woman who is the mother of his child.
However, yesterday a different woman who has been doing the endzone dance with McFadden started circulating photographs of a rendezvous with the Raiders running back in a hotel room. She has circulated the pics, and you can see them here.
I’m sure we haven’t heard the end of this one yet. What’s next? A lawsuit because she’s pregnant? A possible shot for a reality show? Money for more incriminating photos?
Don’t these athletes realize by now there is an entire culture of women wanting nothing more than to get freaky with the athlete and then profit from it? Start thinking with the big head.

Bo Knows……..Al Davis

Former Oakland Raiders RB Bo Jackson recently sat down with Bill Shaiklin of the LA Times and spoke about his professional sports career which spanned both football and baseball. Jackson addressed his career in both sports, his hip injury which led to his early retirement from sports along with his playing days with the Raiders.
On Al Davis, Jackson said, “Everybody stands up and says, Al Davis, that crazy SOB. That isn’t so. This is a man who would have fought a lion with a switch to defend his players”.
Jackson also went on to defend the Raiders move to LA stating the conditions at the stadium were below acceptable. “The public just got to see the outside of the stadium which is beautiful. But after the game we had to stand in line to take a shower”. Jackson said only 4 of 25 shower heads were operational.
Jackson was one of the most dynamic athletes I was ever able to watch play. I saw his at spring training with he was with the Kansas City Royals. He was one of the fastest players out of the box and down the first base line I’ve ever seen. I was also able to meet him in person in a non formal setting the year that he was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and refused to play for them. He was perhaps one of the nicest professional athlete I’ve ever had the chance to meet. It’s a shame that his professional career was cut so short.
