Breaking: Clinton Portis, Carlos Rogers among 9 players charged with scheme to defraud NFL Healthcare program

Supposedly he is being charged for getting reimbursed for a few thousand dollars in equipment he didn’t need medically. This is so stupid. Presumably Clinton Portis is a millionaire from his time playing in the NFL. Presumably, he makes pretty good money currently.

When you’re doing so well financially, why risk everything to essentially steal chump change?

It has been well documented that shortly after his retirement, he was essentially financially ruined by having his financial advisors basically clean him out. There was an article about that like two years ago. Today he lives in a small apartment in Ashburn, and he lives far from a lavish life.

Just one of the many articles about what happened to his money after football.

Portis' pockets ain't straight no more.

So shocking, Portis was always very responsible and ethical with his money. :rolleyes:

He's not the first athlete to go broke in retirement.

Def. not looking good for Portis on this one. I also see a couple ex-Redskins too like Carlos Rogers and Robert McCune.

If it's true what an absolutely poor choice by this group of guys.

Assuming he's at least making 6 figures. He shouldn't feel the need to commit petty fraud for extra cash. Its just so stupid.

If you are not into winning but love drama man this is the franchise for you or daytime Soaps.

A despicable act. Since the program they defrauded has a finite amount of funds available they stole money that could have been given to people who really needed help.
