i just talked to a buddy of mine and he told me mcfadden could be in trouble for his bowl game for receiving money and a car from his agent. is this even remotely true? if so does this kill mangini's desire to get him? we all know he wants angels and this doesnt resemble his kind of player?
You heard right but its just rumors........ They said if he actually did this, he would be unable to participate in the Cotton Bowl, meaning he would consider staying for his senior year if his advisor(s) tells him this could lower his stock. But I dont know, it sounds oddly like that Reggie Bush case with his apartment. Maybe the 2 guys are similar both on and off the field, though I think McFadden has done a bit more considering the help or lack of he got in Arkansas.
The agent claims he hasn't even been in Arkansas in a while so it couldn't be true, and his family says it isn't true, too. I'd buy that. He has been in bar fights in the past though. That would trouble people about character more than his agent helping him to buy a car (notice that even the rumor which is probably false only says that he was helped in buying a car).
Whats with the love fest for Mcfadden? This isnt noted to the thread, or the thread starter. But everyone seems to think were gonna take him guarenteed. We better win on sunday.
This has to be lies, as soon as a player has an agent he's ineligible. You must mean a "potential" agent.
Here's the "skinny", all details and now you be the judge..... Arkansas probes report as TV station issues apology ESPN.com news services Updated: December 29, 2007, 10:23 AM ET * Comment * Email * Print Arkansas officials are looking into allegations that running back Darren McFadden received a car from an agent, as the agent and McFadden's father denied the report and the TV station that initially aired the story issued an apology. The report alleged that McFadden had received a Cadillac Escalade, a luxury SUV, with the help of an agent, Mike Conley. Graylon McFadden, Darren's father, insisted Friday that the reports were "a bold-faced lie," adding that the car belongs to McFadden's mother. The junior two-time Doak Walker Award winner has been borrowing the car, he said. Conley, who said he does not represent McFadden and is not a certified football agent, also said the report was untrue. Conley is registered as an agent with the NBA and represents his son, Mike Conley Jr., and Greg Oden, who was the No. 1 overall draft pick in the 2007 NBA draft. "I got a call and was told that somebody is saying I walked into a dealership in Fayetteville with Darren and helped him purchase a car," said Conley, a former track and field star at Arkansas. "I haven't been in Fayetteville in a while, and I certainly haven't been in any car dealerships with Darren McFadden." Arkansas, however, is still investigating the allegations, as they could affect McFadden's eligibility for the Cotton Bowl against Missouri. According to NCAA rules, signing with or having improper contact with an agent could affect a player's eligibility. "We always want to take the higher road in any of these situations, and whether they're rumors or not, let it play out in the arena it needs to be done," Arkansas interim coach Reggie Herring said, according to the Dallas Morning News. "They're going to get to the bottom of it as soon as possible so everybody can rest easy." Meanwhile, KARK-TV of Little Rock backed off its report, issuing a public apology on its Web site Friday. "We have already personally apologized to Mike Conley for our poor standards of reporting," the station said on its Web site. "And we want to publicly apologize to Mr. Conley for any distress he has experienced. And we also want to apologize to Darren McFadden and his family for reporting details of this story that were not accurate."
Who cares? There is virtually no chance the Jets will draft him anyway. The need for a RB is way down the list. The Jets will almost assuredly draft a front 7 defensive player with their first pick.
:up: .........2 SUVs are now on there way to KARK-TV as a way of thanks for the apology. Meanwhile the appearence and sudden vanishing of the Cadillac Escalade, and luxury SUV still have not been explained , along with the crop circles that were found near by Alledgedly
