Karl Malone


Recommended Posts

I actually have to give kudos to Allen Wilson for his insightful piece on Demetrius Bell (7th round pick). Karl Malone fathered him when he was a sophmore in college and his mother was only 13 years old. Malone later told Bell at age 18 that it was too late to be his father and he would have to "earn his money on his own."

 

Karl gets my vote for worst human ever and I wish Demetrius all the success in the world

Karl gets my vote for worst human ever

 

Um...I think that there were some that were worse. Knocking up a 13-year old and not being there for the kid is pretty low on the scale compare to other atrocities committed by people throughout all of history.

I think I heard some time ago that the Mailman's deliveries approach Travis Henry's numbers.

 

Malone is a real jerk for treating his son like that. As a father of two sons, I could never imagine doing what he did.

Beat guys don't typically draw the attention lavished on columnists, but Wilson's better than some people might think. He wrote an outstanding column when the Golf Channel stuff hit the fan over the winter, his Tuesday Replays are always worth reading, and he nailed the top of the Bills draft in the Sporting News a couple of weeks ago:

"DRAFT BUZZ: The Bills want to add a big wide receiver but are skeptical there is one worth taking with the 11th pick. Even if they can't land a veteran wideout in a trade, they won't reach for one in the first round.

 

"TARGETING: The Bills want a wide receiver big enough to win jump balls, make catches in traffic and be a presence in the red zone. They would at least consider taking Michigan State's Devin Thomas in the first round. Indiana's James Hardy might be available in the second round. There is a good chance Buffalo will take a cornerback in the first round. Troy's Leodis McKelvin or Tennessee State's Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie would be hard to pass up... Up front, the team will look to add depth. The elite ends will go early, but USC's Lawrence Jackson or Virginia Tech's Chris Ellis could slip into the second or third round."

 

He brought the fastball on this piece, too, even if his personal revelation stopped me cold. I'm about to turn 40, and I can't begin to imagine living this long without ever meeting my father.

 

For those who haven't read the story yet, it's well worth a few minutes of your time. And yeah, <bleep> you, Karl Malone: Famous dad a footnote in Bell's life

agree - Wilson does very good work.

People should be more outraged about the THIRTEEN year old part than the absentee father! It's not like you can pass off a 13 year old as an adult, they still look like kids. What a sick pig. Interestingly enough, there are no statutory limitations on statutory rape and child abuse offenses. I wonder why Malone hasn't been prosecuted? Score another one for the justice system bending over for the rich.

He was a college sophomore when Bell was born... so, maybe 19 at the oldest?

Dr. Canadapervstein thinks that makes him cool.
