Really he can't afford some shirts....come on man

 

Drafted 8th overall in 09, signs a $2.9M bonus, and makes $425K a year and he's shoplifting? Idiot.

 

Probably just "fell" into his bag...lol.

 

WTF I thought they let athletes and famous people get away with these kind of things

 

I think its ridiculous, even I CAN afford shirts. Just bought a couple for 30 bucks today lol. And I am broke as a joke.

 

this is a real sad story. I mean you make millions why would you need to steal when you have all that money

 

For the fun of it?

 

maybe he was double dog dared?

 

I hear stealing t shirts can REALLY get the adrenaline pumping....
