sprewell.JPGDon S. brings us news of the continuing saga of Latrell Sprewell, who has certainly had his share of karmic payback after the whole “feed my family” thing. The latest news, posted on TMZ.com: Sprewell is being sued for not paying about $23K in credit card bills. From the site:

The docs allege that the baller and his company, Sprewell Motorsports, haven’t paid their credit card bills since September 29, 2007. They owe the bank $23,600.12, plus interest. And late fees, of course.

According to his credit card application, Sprewell used to make $1.2 million a month! His $23,000 bill is for less than he made in one day.

Yeah, remember how you used to make $14 million a year and then you lost it all? Oh, wait, you’re getting your life confused with Sprewell’s life. That said, with Sprewell and J.R. Rider in the news for legal offenses in the same week, the slate has been wiped clean and we can now safely take guesses as to which one will be the first to make news again.

I hope I’m never too proud to turn down $1 million a year…let alone $7 million a year for 3 years. Statistics show that I’ll never be tested on that statement.

As posted earlier, speaking of players struggling to pay the bills.

By the way Sprewell made $16 million in the last year of his deal.

How long before Brewster brings this guy to MN? He’s perfect for the “Spread”. Dave I’m looking at you for answers.

Latrell is from Milwaukee and therefore deserves only pity.

I can see why Canseco is getting foreclosed on. If you’re paying 41% in taxes on $35 million, you’re left with $20.65 million. Not 17 or 18 genius.

Jama, we don’t need another talented player to come in and get our hopes up just to get in trouble and screw it all up…

…I’m looking at you Dominic Jones. Watching him was like watching a real person make video-game cuts on kick and punt returns. And he was the only hard-nosed corner that the Gophs had recently.

[redacted] these troublemakers. They’re total heartbreakers as a fan.
