Need help filling out a few rosters

[Godfather]

I'm working on what a 28-team XFL would have been like. I'll be using BASEketball names for some teams, except the Dallas Felons are now the Cincy Felons due to the Bengals' police blotter woes being more timely.

The Felons are intended to be an all-star team of the worst offenders. The Miami Dealers would ideally be actual dealers, but in the interests of having a full roster I'm willing to settle for users. The Detroit Lemons are the biggest busts, either in the draft or free agency. A team I created is the New Orleans Drunx. The Drunx are mostly DUIs but anyone with an alcohol-related incident can make the team,like Namath did for being drunk on Monday Night Football.

Anyway, if you have nominees for the blank spots on these rosters, let me know. Same goes if you have a better candidate than someone already listed. Thanks.

Cincinnati Felons

QB1: Ookie Mexico (aka Michael Vick)

QB2: Art Schlicter--Kicked out of NFL for gambling, in and out of prison repeatedly for financial fraud

RB1: O.J. Simpson--We all know about him

RB2: Lawrence Phillips--More arrests than career touchdowns

RB3: Cecil Collins--Less familiar name. Kicked out of LSU for breaking into a coed's apartment, transferred to I-AA McNeese, probation revoked for wacky weed, drafted by Jimmy Johnson's Dolphins, serving 15 year sentence for multiple repeats of the initial offense.

RB4: Maurice Clarett--Armed robbery to complete his career meltdown.

WR1: Rae Carruth--Possibly the most despicable member of the team. Put a hit out on his pregnant girlfriend.

WR2: Reggie McNeil--Chronic police blotter appearances

WR3: Chris Henry--Walking police blotter. Four arrests in one year and the poster boy for the new personal conduct policy.

WR4: Fictional character in The Longest Yard, protrayed by Michael Irvin in a case of creative casting.

TE1: Mark Chmura--Underage girl.

TE2: Billy Cannon--Former Heisman winner, converted from running back during his NFL career. Busted for fake $100 bills in 1982.

O-Line: LG Barrett Robbins (fight with po-po), RG Chris Terry (wifebeater), RT Justin Strzelczyk (died in a high speed chase), need LT and C.

Miami Dealers

QB1: Todd Marinovich

QB2: Wade Wilson--Suspended recently for HGH even though he no longer plays

RB1: Bam Morris--Fired from Steelers after getting busted with a massive amount of dope

RB2: Jamal Lewis--Served 4 months for arranging a drug deal. In the offseason so his career wouldn't be interrupted. You or I would still be under the jail.

RB3: Mercury Morris--Former Dolphin did time for running coke

RB4: Toney Converse--Never made it to the NFL. Former Tulane running back serving a 19 year sentence in state prison for dealing.

WR1: Michael Irvin--It was his brother's crack pipe, of course. But his brother can't catch.

Brian Blades could be safety instead of Atkins. He was convicted of the shooting murder of his cousin but a judge overturned it. Still he did kill the guy.

Interestingly (or sadly) his older brother Bennie is now a felon and Brian isn't. Bennie had $300,000 of unpaid child support.

Nickname team.......

Two way center/MLB earned his nickname in blood. *Dick Night Train Lane – Credited with forcing the league to banish clothesline tackling. *Jerome The Bus Bettis – remember him? *Kordell Slash Stewart -- at least he had a cool name. *Vanderjerk – The name given to former Colts kicker Mike Vanderjagt by teammate Rodney Harrison. *Shawn Lights Out Merriman *Dan Big Daddy Wilkinson. *Torry Big Game Holt *Javon Kearse the Freak

Sorry for the overkill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jstout]

The current DUIs that I could think of:

RB B.J. Sams

WR Antonio Bryant

WR David Boston

TE Jerramy Stevens

TE Dominique Byrd

LT Khalif Barnes

CB Deltha O'Neal

CB Brian Williams

FS Marcus Coleman

[sois]

No criminal team should be without Leonard Little. Why is this guy not in prison? He is worse than any other NFL player, EVER.

[COA Elway]

Najeh Davenport added to the list for domestic violence and skipping court.

Travis Henry also for drugs again!!! Dumb ass.

[mickeyshuler]

John Abraham can be aadded to the drunk team. he had a DUI in NY.

Eugene Robinson (FS) can be added to the felons- soliciting prostitutes thee night before the super bowl

If you need o-line for biggest busts ever, you can use Dave Cadigan -he was drafted by the Jets in 90 (I think) out of a California school. In fact, just use all of the Jets draft picks up until Keyshawn in 96 (you already have Blair Thomas -what about Roger Vick????)

One other idea - you could also create an all concussion team, with trent Green throwing to Wayne Chrebet. Teddy (Alzheimer's)Bruschi could anchor the defense...

[BO FB Offtackle Left]

I skimmed through this so not sure if you got them already, but Amobi Okoye, Calvin Johnson, and Gaines Adams have all admitted to using marijuana while in college.

Of course they did.

They went to college.
