Isn't this a violation of his contract? I remember last year when it happened to Kellen Winslow, Jr. They explained that motorcycles are forbidden in most NFL players' contracts. It's even worse that he CHOOSES to ride without a helmet.

Fucking ID-10-T

No shit, I like motorcycles and all but who is stupid enough to trade that kind of income for a thrill ride and some road rash?

I didn't ride mine after my first son was born, and sold it after my second son was born, figured it would be nice to stick around at least until the graduate highschool then when I send them off to college I will get me a new toy.

Jeff Kent (baseball) got in a motorcycle accident. Called a frind to Pick up the bike before any reports were filed.

Then he claimed to have broken his wrist a different way. I think he still smiles and lies about it to this day.

You think he would have learned after Jeff Kent, Jay Williams, or Kellen Winslow.

At this point, you just look like a dumbass.
