No, not me. Him, Kellen Winslow, Jr. When your multi-million dollar contract stipulates that you not ride a motorcycle, don't ride a motorcycle.

Kevin Winslow? Did the Browns sign Kellen's brother? :roll: ;) :D
Heh, I had heard about this, but the more fun article is the one about Winslow Sr blasting the media (http://cbs.sportsline.com/nfl/story/8533947). My favorite quote is:
"You guys look at it as a moment in time and you blow it out of proportion. This Jerry Springer mentality of journalism, you guys are better than that. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Presidents make mistakes. Senators make mistakes. Journalists, if you still call yourselves that, make mistakes."
Which was followed in the minds of all "journalists," football players, and fans everywhere... "The Cleveland Browns made a mistake (by signing Jr.)." :lowlol:

The guy is a complete moron plain and simple. This is a "pro" player who spent his rookie year out with an injury (broke his leg in game 2 of the season) and lost millions in incentives and contract escalators because of it. Common sense says he should have been "boy in the bubble" taking EXTRA care not to get hurt or aggrivate any old injuries in the offseason. Instead he decides to learn how to ride a motorcycle in a parking lot while wearing no protection whatsoever.
He's getting what he deserves, he's had to return millions in bonus money and is now looking at losing even more incentives and escalators. His original $20 million contract is now down to about a quarter of that, most of which he won't see unless the Browns decide to take a chance on him again next year.
I predict his ACL injury finishes him with the Browns and possibly the NFL entirely. Look for Kellen Winslow Jr. to be selling cars or refrigerators a couple years down the road.

I would pat the Redskins scouting staff on the backs for not taking him. I mean, I would if Sean Taylor wasn't facing felony assault charges.
