So..in addition to being a thoroughly reprehensible collection of mendacious censorious nitwits, the National Organization for Marriage also appear to be a collection of scofflaws in multiple states and legal jurisdictions. I'm shocked I tell you! Shocked...
Warren Sapp, the former Bucaneers and Raiders player, files for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Given that his debts and his assets almost exactly match, I am wondering why he decided to file Chapter 7 now. He lives in Florida, which has a generous homestead bankruptcy exemption (his house is untouchable to pay off creditors). On the surface though, this should be ample material for the 2012 NFL Rookie Symposium...Sapp made a lot of money in his NFL career, but it seems to have mostly been dissipated, with extra-curricular child creation being a significant drain on his cash flow.
On to another football story...former Florida Gators QB Chris Leak, who led the Gators to a BCS Championship, but who then bounced around the NFL and CFL for several seasons, seemingly unable to catch on for any length of time anywhere, returned to Jacksonville to join the Jacksonville Sharks of the Arena Football League. However, that homecoming lasted...one game. After throwing 5 touchdowns in the Shark's opening game, which they won, Leak was told that he would be replaced in the next game by his backup Omar Jacobs. What exactly happened after that is still unclear, but the net result is that Chris Leak has left the Jacksonville Sharks, and that the Sharks, with Omar Jacobs under center, proceeded to lose their next two games and are now 1-2. Just by the numbers, you would have to say that the decision to bench Leak has not worked out well.
