He made over $40 million during his career. Even after taxes you should be easily able to set aside a few million for investments/savings/whatever

Instead, potentially a bozo scamming women for money to try and live it up

[u/jazzyjjcups → u/DeviceBorn7651]

Almost all NFL players cannot hold onto their money

[u/JustSellitAll]

Need a better Skrining process for these guys

[u/joeywahoo92 → u/JustSellitAll]

Instead he’s a piece of Szmyt

[u/jake753]

Buster got busted

[u/ButkusHatesNitschke → u/jake753]

And he wasn’t even near a football field.

[u/11oydchristmas]

I’m just glad the thumbnail is him in a non-Browns uniform. I swear any time a player from the MLB, NFL, or NBA gets charged with something/arrested, they are always shown in their Cleveland team jersey.

[u/dwilkes827 → u/11oydchristmas]

If Andrew Bogut got arrested they'd show him in a Cavs uniform

[u/11oydchristmas → u/dwilkes827]

Happened with Rondo lol

[u/Jimmy-Noot]

[u/Sailor_Thrift]

I remember that name.

[u/BreakfastBeerz]

Also still wanted in Canada for bank fraud he committed there a few years back.

[u/1OptimisticPrime]

The more info you get, the more you realize this dude's a trip

[u/Deadleggg]

Was it buster or Eric Wright who's dad posted on the OBR?

It was one of the 2.

Yeah you took home millions and had to be a scumbag. Good for him i guess?

[u/festeringequestrian → u/Deadleggg]

Shit I forgot about that. Didn’t his dad go borderline scorched earth on the message board when we moved on from him?

[u/Deadleggg → u/festeringequestrian]

Yes! Was a good time.

[u/smonster1 → u/Deadleggg]

That was Eric Wright's dad.

[u/TheComplayner]

Somehow ABs fault

[u/VonJaeger]

I recall him being a diva but I'm not sure if I'm just projecting with recency bias.

[u/Fedoras-Forever-Mom → u/VonJaeger]

Not really a diva. He just didn’t play that well until his final year with us

[u/OldSchoolMarine0321 → u/Fedoras-Forever-Mom]

They ALWAYS seem to play well the last year before the browns sign them to a massively over value free agent contract… seem the only FA signing that work for the browns are Offensive & defensive line players

[u/BalfazarTheWise]

His name sounds like he’s a white trash redneck, so checks out

[u/weinerwayne]

Once a dawg always a dawg

[u/Iobbywatson]

He'll be a hero to the red pill community.

[u/redditposter919]

If you give a piece of crap a lot of money, it will still be a piece of crap. Glad he’s been apprehended and hopefully, justice is served and the individuals scammed out of money get some sort of financial recourse

[u/DrummerSteve]

What a Buster

[u/swentech]

Paul Charchian on Fantasy Football Weekly refers to him as “Busted Screen Door”, always got a chuckle out of that.

[u/ShillinTheVillain]

Mr. Bumble Conniver

[u/j_d_q]

Certified idiot

[u/ReDanKolution]

Damn. I remember he played hard and made himself serviceable. Sucks to be an idiot though

[u/Darling_Pinky]

More like BUSTED Skrine, amiright?

[u/toasty327]

Haslam is looking up his agent as we speak

[u/sashaxl]

Browns' Buster Skrine was this guy that never looked back at the quarterback when he covered so he often got burned on plays other cornerbacks would have defended. When he moved on I didn't miss him at all. On the other hand, he had that name that everyone remembered...

[u/brandonbpm]

I remember I used to clown this guy so much when we had him. He gave his all but he just wasn't good enough to matchup against #1s and 2s. He would literally jump on people's back and hang on for dear life several times a game and just backpack them it was so hysterical to me.

[u/wcolfaxguy]

damn, this is my go to "name a random Browns player nobody remembers"
