Haynesworth took the $ 100 million then opted not to let other people knock his brains to pieces.
This sound pretty smart to me.

I know it’s recent news… after the article was written, but Hernandez hanged himself in his cell. This guy should be the #1 “had it all and threw it all away” of any list- not just sports.

You have Lawrence Phillips on here, and don’t mention that he’s spent years in jail for hitting a bunch of kids with his car, and then killed his cellmate in prison???? How is he not #1 on this list?

Actually JPP was not on the 2007 Giants idiots. He was drafted in 2009, so he could only have helped them on one Super Bowl which was 2011. Get facts straight before u publish.

” To their credit, the Patriots released Hernandez within 90 minutes of his arrest” – I disagree. Yes we know now he’s a convicted murderer, but what is the point of innocent until proven guilty if an arrest is being treated as a conviction. Cops make false and wrong arrest.
T.J. Butler says
My guess is a few of the other players knew more about Hernandez than the general public. Patriots do their homework on back round info and probably had many doubts about him from the beginning.

I’d put Charles Rodgers on this list above Vince Young, Young should be at the bottom of this list if on it at all

What about Ricky Williams and his love for weed?
