Clinton Portis: wanted to murder financial manager
Ex-Redskins RB Clinton Portis was ready to commit murder until friend talked him out of it
Former Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis contemplated killing one of his former financial managers after losing millions of dollars in various investments, helping to wipe out part of his NFL fortune. In a story published by Sports Illustrated, Portis recounted a night four years ago in which he sat in a car outside a building, holding a gun and awaiting one of the managers he felt had ruined him financially. Portis had made $43.1 million in his nine-year NFL career, but most of it had either been spent or lost through investments or, as one lawsuit asserted, bank withdrawals without his consent. An anonymous friend, a television producer who had been trained as a family therapist, talked him out of committing murder. But Portis said he went there, sitting in his car late at night outside a building in Washington, D.C., with one purpose. "It wasn't no beat up," Portis told Sports Illustrated. "It was kill." The story does not specify whom Portis was awaiting that night in 2013, saying he was looking for one of several managers who had handled his funds. But Portis told the publication that if he had seen the person before settling down: "We'd probably be doing this interview from prison." http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/1...r-fortune-lost |

I haven't read this but heard it being discussed on NFL Live Podcast
Santana Moss is apparently quoted as saying something to the effect of; I (Moss himself) had 11 Cars and that was not nearly as much as Portis had. |

If you ask me, more people need to be in the bottom of the desert for intentionally screwing people over. Accidental, no. But if you steal a fortune from someone on purpose, can't really for sorry for you if you get whacked.

I'm sure the dude squandered a great deal of money away on bullshit (don't we all?), but it sounds like he was legitimately taken advantaged of as well.

Shit, if I had the kind of money those guys did I'd have a warehouse full of cars. But they wouldn't be blinged out high end pimpmobiles that they were likely rolling with.
