Court issues arrest warrant for Clinton Portis over unpaid child support

Posted by Mike Florio on August 21, 2021, 11:24 AM EDT


Former NFL running back Clinton Portis made $43 million during his career. He’s currently facing imprisonment over failure to pay child support.

According to Jennifer Cabrera of the Alachua (Fl.) Chronicle, a court order has been issued for the arrest of Portis. He has failed, based on court documents inspected by the Chronicle, to make a single payment on a monthly obligation of $1,937 for a child born in March 2015.

The court reportedly found that Portis owes $147,962.49, plus interest. The court also concluded, per the Chronicle, that Portis has “the means and ability to pay, has guaranteed income, and has substantial retirement assets.”

Portis filed for bankruptcy protection in 2015. Child-support obligations generally cannot be discharged, however. And there’s no indication that the amount owed by Portis was in any way diminished by his bankruptcy filing.

The nine-year NFL veteran, who played for Denver and Washington, has more immediate legal issues. His trial on criminal fraud charges is scheduled to begin in a federal court in Kentucky on Monday, August 23. Portis is accused of conspiracy to commit health care fraud and wire fraud in connection with the health plan available to retired NFL players.

NFL schedulers be damned.

WFT plays from w14-17 -- eagles, cowboys, eagles, cowboys.

Ravens play in a three week stretch -- browns, steelers, browns (not as bad)

Most TD receptions per game played.


_----------_

I believe it's Don Hutson - 99 in 116 games (.85)
**
And his touchdown record stood for 50 years until Steve Largent broke it
**
A lot of times the praise of "it's like he was playing a different game" can be an exaggeration but it's not with Hutson, he was literally the first guy to run actual routes in the NFL. Defenses had no idea what to do with that
**
Hutson also got the benefit of playing during WWII, was not a good run blocker at a time that was considered to be important, and was playing in a non-integrated league. He was obviously an outstanding athlete, who did tremendous work refining the position that became WR, the routes, and by himself would have been the best passing offense in the league at times. He held the TD record until Steve Largent took it 50 years later after massive increases in the passing game, and only a small handful of players have surpassed it even today. However we should be sure to properly frame some of his achievements.
**
Also helps that a lot of talent was deployed in WW2 when he played.
**
He led the league in touchdowns six different times before WW2
**
His numbers *really* exploded during WW2, yes, but he was ridiculous even during peacetime
**
He featured a .671 ratio prior to 1941. If you include 1941 it rises to .706. He only has the record due to the decreased competition during WW2.
**
There's no reason not to include 1941. The season finished before Pearl Harbor. But yes, WW2 weakened competition did indeed put him over the top, but a 0.706 TD/game ratio is absurd in itself in an era where the league average interception rate was more than twice as high as the league average touchdown rate.

Trubisky real sharp opening drive in a revenge game against the Bears. Singletary scoots in for a rushing TD from 10 yards out.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Geez, jaylon johnson is good

 

[Exe Gesis]

Another long sharp drive by Trubisky. TD pass this time. 14-0

 

[Exe Gesis]

Wow what a catch by Rodney Adams from a long bomb by Dalton. 70 yard TD. Bills now 28-6 (missed pat). Bears been carved on D, but had some unlucky breaks that contributed to that.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Field looked good.

Zach Wilson now Jets Packers and looks very composed, hitting deep strikes.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Tho he locked on to his receiver there and almost got picked

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

What a dart on the move by Benkert

Edit:

 

[Exe Gesis]

Some team (Houston?) will sign Benkert off the Packers PS if they dont sign him to the 53.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Zach Wilson is playing like a seasoned starter. Staying in the pocket, processing and throwing quickly, and if he has to go off platform can nail them. Sometimes he locks on, but mostly hes going thru reads very well. Throws a Td now

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

 

[J Shuttlesworth]

Both Wilson and Benkert lighting it up

Jets Defence got some real work to do though, getting ran over.

 

[Exe Gesis]

#62 Packers Lucas Patrick is a bit of a liability. Stepped on Benkerts feet twice in a row from under center. Then committed two flags, holding, ineligible. And really shouldve been flagged again for ineligible reciever downfield there.

Benkert with the TD pass there finally. But a super drive by him, many 3rd and longs converted with precision passing

 

[Exe Gesis]

Offensive shootout now between Wilson and Benkert. TDs after TDs

 

[Exe Gesis]

Saleh is cursed. Lawson and Rankins in camp. Some others in camp. Gerard Davis leg injury this game and another lineman leg injury.

 

[Blacky]

Zach Wilson is bae

 

[Exe Gesis]

Waddle maybe serious knee injury

Up and walking, assessed in tent. Hopefully minor
