Coming to you a couple of days late, but still here for your enjoyment. Here are your nightmare clients of the previous week.
1. The Cincinnati Bengal organization
Instead of naming every Cincinnati Bengal that had been arrested or suspended before the 2006 season has even started, I am just going to go ahead and say that if you represent a Bengal, you better watch your reputation. Unless of course, you are Carson Palmer’s agent (#5 on The Fortunate 50). Anyway, there should be no shock by any sports fan that this past week, another Cincinnati Bengal found himself in trouble and his name in the paper. Odell Thurman has been suspended for 4 games for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policies [Suspended Thurman to miss Bengals’ first 4 games]. The Bengals have only had 4 other players arrested recently. If you represent a Bengal, now is the time to beg your client to not take any illegal substances or do anything to get arrested. America is watching.
2. Albert Belle
Who knew that stalking is considered a felony? Now you do, and so does former Cleveland Indian slugger, Albert Belle. He recently pleaded guilty to stalking his ex-girlfriend and will be sentenced right before he turns the ripe age of 40. The cherry on top is that Albert Belle used a GPS device to track his girl [Albert Belle pleads guilty to stalking ex-girlfriend]. Technology is a bitch.
