[Quote]According to documents obtained by TMZ.com, foreclosure proceedings have begun on Russell’s mansion because he allegedly failed to make $195,512.05 in mortgage payments. Russell bought the house for $2.4 million in 2007 after the Raiders made him the No. 1 overall pick in that year’s draft.[/quote]

He really didn't spend his money well, did he?
Things just keep getting worse for him.

He got $32 million guaranteed in his rookie deal. Money mismanagement.

Unbelievable. Goodell sends all rookies to that symposium. I know one of the things they talk about is money management. Looks like it didn't do too much good for JaMarcus.

[Ed_Reed20]

He wasted his talent; I'm not surprised he's wasted money.

[JonM229]

He literally ate himself out of house and home

[BloodRaven]

And not a single damn was given that day.

[AwakenTheDemon]

Oh Jamarcus, is there anything you [i]can[/i] do? You cannot play football, you cannot stay in shape, and you obviously cannot be trusted with an easy $32 million.

[Bltravens]

I mean if your going to be an epic failure, you have to go the whole 9 yards correct?

[codizzle]

I believe he bought himself a chain of Krispy Kreme Donut stores.... then bought all their stock and gorged himself.

Thats why they were out of creme filled donuts last time i was there.. That fat «man»

[Clutch Ravens]

Most of the biggest busts of all time have really screwed up their lives.

I guess they suck at life as well as football. Guy never deserved his money in the first place and, as the saying goes, "a fool and his money are soon parted".

He obviously, didn't have the same accountant as Carson Palmer. ;-)

He must've slept right through it.

[MagicianCamille]

This happens all too often. A young kid gets handed millions of dollars and they think "I'm going to live THE LIFE." Little do they know the life is pretty damn expensive.

That or he was too busy at Krispy Kremes and missed it.

[George70]

There are those of you who say, "We knew this was going to happen", but all I have to ask is this - how much more can happen?

[FerrariFan87]

Biggest bust in history? I think so.

[Perfekt]

im hoping something in his head clicks an he learns that what hes doing needs to change. on a side note tho if he got his life together an came back to football in football shape he could be a good story.

Ha! Just a different way of life is all.....

Pretty pathetic how some of these fools act!

Not only that, Ray Ray said he gave Jamarcus his number and to call if he ever had any problems. He never did call.

Ryan Leaf may disagree with that statement.

If not the biggest, definitely in the top 5.

[TDubbs]

Haha, what a waste of athletic ability and a life. Maybe if the Raiders scouting was a bit better, well maybe they wouldnt be the Raiders.

Athletic ability? Id say he can throw the ball a mile thats about it...
And watch out for the raiders.. Couple pieces here and there and they could be something decent

I guess you never saw his spin move against the Eagles.

[DFlo]

This guy is a joke.

[Free Agent]

That is sad. Sad meaning pathetic.
