    Former Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns running back Jamal Lewis has filed for bankruptcy in Atlanta with debts of more than $10.5 million, TMZ.com reported on Sunday. The website cited court papers in reporting that Lewis, 32, claimed assets of $14,455,854 and debts of $10,566,764. Lewis rushed for 1,364 yards as a rookie with the Ravens in 2000, when the team won the Super Bowl. In 2003 he became the fifth man to rush for more than 2,000 yards in a season when he totaled 2,066. Lewis also set the NFL single-game rushing mark that year with 295 yards against the Browns (it was broken by the Minnesota Vikings' Adrian Peterson, who rushed for 296 yards in a 2007 game).

    Any one watch mike n mike on espn? Golic said something that seems dead on. In high school they get taken cared of,Told what to do when to do it. In college its the same thing but you get a little bit more freedom same in the pros. Some one is always looking out for your best interest in all levels Until they're finished with you and you are on your own. Its sad really.

    That is why they should find a woman and settle down. Let the woman run the place and they go enjoy something not many of us can afford. Have free time to do whatever you wanted.
