APThere’s actually some moderately good news today about JaMarcus Russell, the former Raiders quarterback and No. 1 overall pick in the 2007 NFL draft who was a huge bust both on the field and off.
Russell has paid the $223,180.05 he owed to the State of California for failing to pay his taxes, meaning the lien the state had has been released.
But Russell, who signed a six-year, $61 million contract with the Raiders four years ago, doesn’t have all his financial troubles behind him. He’s still behind on the payments on his $2.4 million Bay Area mansion, and that home is expected to be sold in a foreclosure auction.
The 26-year-old Russell hasn’t drawn even a whiff of interest this offseason. Last year the Redskins brought him in for a workout, but he showed up weighing 286 pounds and wasn’t signed.

He got 36. Mill. After taxes, agents and hoes he should at least have couple mill…..dumbass
“The saddest thing in life is wasted talent”
How do you get all that guaranteed money and have 0 to show for it and STILL can’t/won’t pay your bills??????
What a joke. I hate this guy.
Good stuff JRoc!!!
Was the term “Dumber than a bag of hammers” created just for him?
Spent it all on bling and purple drank.
all that money he made and he cant pay some bills, not good.
Give it another year or two and he’ll be broke and announce he’s making a comeback.
Sippin’ on some sizzzzzzzzuuuuurp
BUST-ED
Sizzurp ain’t cheap, you know.
286 Lbs? Lol wowww, this fat turd just eats and drinks syrizzurp
Vick was broke too after his big deal in Atlanta. Idiots.
Wow. He obviously spent the money on food.
Sprewell!
He’s a moron and a disgrace.
Do you have any idea how much it costs to “Make it Rain” nowadays? Inflation is a killer. Also missed out on the patent for Purple Drank… Life has been tough for him people, give him a freakin’ break!
His tax bill is still cheaper than his food bill

Come on man, you can do better than that. Do you mean to tell that Vick is the only other black guy, you could come up with? How can you perpetuate a stereotype with only two examples?
It’s sad, but he’ll be homeless, begging for change, and chugging down cheap wine before he’s 30 if he doesn’t get his life turned around. Although I don’t have any sympathy for the NFL players who feel so entitled when they’re part of the game, I do feel bad when I think about them as human beings whose lives are going to be absolutely shattered for who know how long because they never got it together.
Isn’t sizzurp tax deductible?
What a loser!!!!!! Nough said
As an LSU grad, I’m getting to the point where I’m afraid to read either PFT or CFT. Dang.
He’s not broke. he chose to let the mansion go into foreclosure because he’s not living in the Bay Area anymore, but in Alabama. Also, many people have money, and still refuse to contribute taxes like-
The top 2%, Republicans, and Wesley Snipes.
The first sign of smoke was when Jamarcus rolled into Raider Camp in a Rolls Royce his rookie year. SMH
It’s like when Mike Tyson lost his mentor Cusumato..Jamarcus lost the only person that could get him right which was his uncle. Kid just made a lot of bad decisions.
I don’t blame Jamarcus. He had it rough here. Lance Kiffin didn’t like him and set him up for failure.
Tom Cable the dumbest head coach to wear a head set gives him a….
West Coast Offense QB coach in Paul Hackett
Air Coryell Passing Game coordinator in Ted Tollner.
A offensive line coach calling plays, Tom Cable
No Offesive coordinator.
Two rookie WRs…one of his starting WRs had 9 receptions all year.
It had to be hell for him.
And in other news, the local Waffle House reported record profits.
You know your fat when you have a roll on the back of your neck.
He’s gonna get more purple stuff
Difference withVick is Vick actually had football talent.
JR was a bumb on and off the field.
He won’t get another NFL shot.
Who cares what he does with his worthless life???Hes not in the NFL and never will be again.
“Vick was broke too after his big deal in Atlanta. Idiots.”
Vick at least owned property and other assets… Russell went broke renting and wasting money.
Has the money and still doesnt pay his taxes, that is so AA.
J-Bust. End of story. Time to move on.

Seems to me that would make you, Vick, and Russell idiots. Not those of us who pay our debts etc.
He wasted all his money on the “purple drink” and cheeseburgers. Oh, almost forgot one giant diamond encrusted jersey necklace.
fail.
Too bad this “little” piggy will no longer have a house to go all the way home to.
To lexnekst: The top 2% of income earners pay over 50% of ALL the federal income tax collected. Conversely, 50% of the population pays ZERO in federal income tax. Also, about your slam on Republicans, there 36 members of President Obama’s staff who owe over $800,000 in back taxes. Before you throw your dirt, get your facts straight.
