As a retired Financial Adviser (stockbroker), never give a power of attorney to a Financial Adviser. NEVER!
Branson Willis- I'm not referring to you...but you don't have to be a financial advisor to know that!
Raiders4Life!
I concur.
Branson Willis ain’t that what you have a trustee for? I have Raymond James but damn sure ain’t giving them power of attorney
Who gave power of attorney to someone?
Jason Johnson my trustee has power of attorney and is also my cousin and our relationship is great and all of my ventures thus far have been successful. But I’d never give power of attorney to a financial advisor
Mcfaddens net worth is right around 20 million a far cry from 200 but my man is not hurting for the bread. He is a major success in my book. Great video
Considering he didn't do shit in the NFL
@@kendallevans4079 I never heard of you.
@@BlackJesus8463 I've Vince Evan's little brother....he had a pretty long career in the NFL
@@kendallevans4079 Ya, but you aren't Vince. Again, never heard of you.
@@codymoore5387 And NO ONE has ever heard of you so touche'....I win!
He’s one of the most under appreciated college RBs of all time, should’ve won the 07 Heisman but was robbed by Tebow because he was more popular at the time. Got to see him play multiple times and he was something special, he put Arkansas on the map.
He should have won the heisman trophy instead of T bow could not grow in college he only got the-trophy because he played a Florida He hair receiver a round him that could Catch those ugly passes alone with his to your jump path Is that the 10 yd line Which made him look good a loan with the Sports announcers A was robbed Of the heitmann by the SEC is cell
@@kennethlovett6971 Stay in school bro.
SlurpMeSlower for real man. Hopefully it's a kid and not a 40 year old cause that was one cringe after another reading that dudes comment 😬
@Skunk Ape Tebow wasn’t a walk on...
@@kennethlovett6971 what language is that that you are writing?
Darren McFadden is a success hands down. His college career, his childhood, and then like you said having a ten year nfl career that's success by any stretch.
Even tho McFaddens career was surrounding in injury, I will always say he's a Raider for life. He ran his hardest every damn game he played with us and never wanted to let Raider Nation down. You never let me down McFadden, I still wear your jersey with pride!
Remember Matt Jones? He was the QB at Arkansas and was drafted in 2005 by Jacksonville as a WR. He was 6'6" and ran a 4.3 40 yard dash.
Ryan Hanna yeah and came back in town just to get caught with crack rocks lol 🤦🏾♂️
He petered out man! I'm from Ar...he was too gangly, awkward in the pocket!
i was a fan no cap
Matt Jones he was hard. 🔥🔥 he gotta do video on him
From what I remember, as soon as he got paid he stopped working hard and just wanted to go out and have fun.
Thats my cousin!!! He still winning right now!! Our whole family was generation of Football players but only 2 made it to the NFL.
JCoburn Investments, LLC his fam still eating, comfortably?
bobeezy he was on a team just months ago so even with the bare minimum he'd have 500 grand so I'd say they can live nice lol...he could live nice for 10 years on that alone
bobeezy yea. He had other money invested in other places. He wasn’t stupid like most NFL players are while their in the league.
seheadhunter50 exactly $500k is a lot if you know how to spend it.
JCoburn Investments, LLC you stole the money?
Those miles in college caught up with him once he got in the NFL. His last year in Arkansas he had 497 touches
Antonio James 497!? In one year!? Jesus Christ
Add in catches, Kickoff and him running the WildCat.
He was also the QB when they ran the Wildhog offense. They used that formation alot.
I didn't say 497 carries I said 497 touches meaning plays he was involved in. Those WildHog plays were he was pitching to Felix Jones and still getting hit dont count on the stat sheet but did on the toll of his body
@Andres Rivera Didn't have to count it the announcers keep repeating how many times he had the ball in his hand. Rev. Nutt was trying to get him the Heisman. You dont remember that offense?
As someone who went to Arkansas, we still brag about him all these years later
Fax, I’m from Arkansas and he’s the goat
I think basil Shabazz was better than RDMC
D dawg the GOAT
Fun fact: Never give anyone power of attorney💯
Your videos are legit. Some news company should hire you.
I mean I wouldn’t say never have a power of attorney and there’s reasons why millions of Americans use it as a way to allow for medical financial bank approval of things now should only be with parents or people that you trust they’ve known forever yeah maybe one or two if you don’t have people like that in your life I’m assuming all people you can trust then no but for many Americans it smooths things over especially if the individual is handicapped or physically incapable to make a decision at the time.
Ie a durable power of attorney is very useful. I wouldn’t say never
I'm a Falcons fan.
In 2008 my dad and I was watching the NFL Draft. He was hoping we'd get Darren McFadden with the 3rd Overall pick. We didnt. We got Matt Ryan. Instead Darren McFadden went 4th overall to the Raiders.
My dad then said, "Chris, we just made the biggest mistake. I guarantee you in 10 years we'll look back on this and regret it"
10 years have past and I can officially tell my dad he was wrong.
Chris Edwards yall blew a 28-3 lead
ShankWitItEnt© that's relevant to Darren McFadden because???...
Oh you just wanted to be an internet troll because your parents never gave you any attention so you seek it in the internet from random strangers? Nevermind. That makes since now.
Chris Edwards who hurt you?
Chris Edwards 31-28
easy to say in hindsight...but mcfadden would have been an elite running back if he didnt get injured so much. Watch the his game vs the jaguars when he was with the raiders..its the most madden-esque performance by a running back.
I remember playing NCAA Football 08, and I would always play as Arkansas because Darren McFadden was rated around a 98. He was a monster.
You a real one
Crazy how many players just fade away
Especially in the nfl damn
So glad I got to watch him in college wps! Probably the greatest Razorback of all time.
Been a hog fan forever bein born and raised in Cabot. Glad to see you cover a razorback, Darren could have been great if he didn't get hurt so much.
Edit: when you said Wild Cat formation for him at QB (not to be smart) it was originally the Wild Hog under Gus Mahlzon and became Wild Cat when other schools adopted it
479!!
Gunner Furr me too man
Actually the wildcat concept as stated in a reply to this comment was popularized at Kentucky. However the offense ran by Malzahn at Arkansas dubbed, "Wild Hog" was really just his option package with a RB at the quarterback position. Not some special formation he created for D-Mac. You'll see His QB's running the same formation, same plays. Obviously they added wrinkles to it to benefit the strengths of D-Mac but it really wasn't a Wild-cat Offense
Hog Wild..Go Hogs!!!
Nobody cares if you were born and raised in cabot
D'Mac was everything to AR sports fans during his time as a razorback. I'll never forget watching him bulldoze any & everybody in his path game after game after game. I really wonder what ever happened with Felix Jones, who had some of the most incredible punt returns of all time. Great video! Keep up the good work!
*FlemLo would be a dope signed language interpreter lol.*
Kuji Chagulia lol
Kuji Chagulia lol
I'm studying to be an ASL interpreter. 😎👌
That’s what I said during this video man this guy talks a lot with his hands
i remember he was supposed to be the next Adrian Peterson.
I’ll never forget and how he torched LSU in 2007 but this dude is more successful than most ever could. We all have had some mishaps. Hopefully he still has some of his nfl money. Could be worse he could have became a product of his environment
I'm glad you brought up that game. I became a fan of Darren McFadden after watching that amazing game. LSU was trying to throw everything including the kitchen sink at McFadden during that game, and he still torched them. I miss those iconic LSU vs Arkansas games when they played after Thanksgiving. Those two teams had something special for a time.
@@toddsands6000 omg I remember being a teenager watching those games in my mommas living thinking is there anything this cat can't do like dead ass
@Creme De La Creme ur referring to the 49ers Patrick Willis??
“you can tell I didn’t graduate lol” that shit had me dying😂😂😂😂
Of course he’s successful. Where he grew up to where we went was amazing. Not many people can do that. The injuries and the financial advisor thing was something no one could expect. I think if the injuries didn’t happen, he would still be in the league. Maybe not a starter RB but on a team. In his career without injuries, he would be (maybe) a 4x pro bowler
Adrian Chavez he is n the league
Unless he retired just today
If he hadn't been injured he would've taken a lot more carries and had a shorter career
I just found all your “ what happened “ videos and they are alllll lit bro you the man ✊🏽always good to see what happens after someone falls off . The crazy part is most of them falling off wasn’t even their fault more than half the time !
Bro this dude is from little Rock my hometown i know him well and played ball aginst him
The Official Empire Little Rock...501
Did he truck you?
Be honest
The Official Empire SIKEEE
The Official Empire im from little rock to
VI•III•Chief Whis Naw.. Hella Stiff Armed tho .. I was there.
I remember as a 10 or 11 years old and turning on the tv to see Darren mcfadden balling out. Crazy to hear how many "second place moments" he had
One of my favorite players, McFadden never had a o line in Oakland. Also, Dude had alot bad luck.
fuckoff.. dude was shit making mistakes galore.. dummy
@@thecastle09 who are you???
I’m 18 about to be 19, I remember watching this cat tear it up when I was 6 years old, this man has made the no.5 famous in the state of Arkansas. When you see the number 5 you think of this man and the legendary years her had playing for the razorbacks. Much love and respect to this man
The vids have got 100% better great stuff
I love when you come across a TH-cam channel and it quickly becomes one of your favorite channels
Great vid bro the new set up looks roomy
Thanks bro...got some more stuff to add to the background in the upcoming days
Flem lo should definitely join the dumpster fire
Colin Kaepernick?
COLLABORATION
You made it, to the end of this video.
What makes Flem so good is that he does journalism the way it’s supposed to be. Even his negative comments are said with caring and restraint. MSM should take a note. Love Flem and KTOs content. Thanks
Don't worry about D Mac... fam own a whole block and then some
Your videos are legit. Some news company should hire you.
Nah. He should continue growing his brand and give those mainstream companies a run for their money.
What happened to Sinorice Moss? (Santana Moss’ brother)
He's acting now. He's not big-time, but he has been on the Black film scene for a minute.
Shit haven’t heard the name Santana Moss in years
Santana Moss disappeared so long ago I forgot he had played in the NFL no funny shit.
Edgar Ramirez I know who you are Edgar
He has a podcast on TH-cam
Great video Flemlo bro! 😎✌
"that was the year Chris Johnson ran ... SECOND Place again" 😂😂
Now that's a fun(ny) fact
It took me 2 or 3 of these videos to really appreciate how good they are. GREAT CHANNEL !!
He got out of that life and became a college football legend. Definitely successful
Been really enjoying your content man keep up the great work.
You'll raps... can we get a Eric Crouch story? One of the baddest option quarterbacks to ever play the game
Flem lo raps, u do a phenomenal job on these critiques, reports, whatever u prefer to call them. I love how u always try to be objective and unbiased. I support u and i respect u because u respect other people. If more men followed your example it would make the world a safer and all around better place to live. Im 34 years old, born and raised in Chicago all my life, u promote positivity for the culture by doing the work that u do, keep it real, keep it raw, but most importantly, keep it fair.
I think mcfaddens biggest problem was that he ran with the ball high
his biggest mistake was actually not killing that financial advisor. that's 226 million. he would have definitely be the most successful NFL player ever
Suspence58 on the football field that was his problem running high but u are right that’s more than what he would have made playing football that would’ve been a nice retirement present 🎁
gmon228 201 no look at Eric Dickerson. McFadden had stiff hips no moves ran straight
He broke records so he did it right. He's tall so it looks higher....
No, he was just tall and long levered. Notice Derreck Henry runs the same way. Why? Because he's 6'3
Came across this channel last night. Couldn't wait for lunch today to watch some more Flemlo content. Thanks for the great content G.
What happened to felix jones?
Slevin right I forgot about him
Good quest., hes from Tulsa, where I live, hadn't thought bout him since the Cowboys. I'll try to find out
Flemlo- I really enjoy the stories you present, and have recently subscribed to your channel. You are obviously a big football fan and you clearly spend a lot of time researching the subjects you cover, making the always interesting but sometimes little known stories that are by turns informative, inspirational, cautionary, incredible & sometimes all of the above, something that I eager look forward to!! In particular, I was moved by the B.J. Raji story because it highlights what a thoughtful young man he is to have made the choice he made... he is an example that everyone can learn from. Thank you for your diligence & keep up the good work!! All good things to you.
Bro I've been waiting for a vid, Thank You!
I'm back bro
His dad had the pull out game equivalent to Antonio Cromartie.
Antonio "Johnny Appleseed" Cromartie
LOL
Couldn’t pull out of his own driveway
Most definitely McFadden was successful. Like in my opinion if you make it to the league that’s BEYOND successful but that’s just my opinion. And as far as the financial advisor goes , I’m surprised McFadden ain’t in jail right now cuz if I were him you already know I would’ve collected in some way, shape, or form 💯💯
Real Talk homie
@ST 23 not only is the deck stacked but it's made worse by the fact that these players frequently come from poor backgrounds & suddenly in their early 20's find themselves with money they could only dream of before & no idea of how to manage it, or how to choose someone who does, to help them.
@ST 23 your Dad was a very wise man!! Lottery winners constantly prove him right too!! How many stories have seen about them winning millions & ending up broke or dead in a few years? I don't think I can count that high!! I can, but ya know what I'm saying...
How do we “already know?” I don’t know you LOL
Facts
Darren McFadden will always be good in Arkansas. Legend.
He wasn't a bust
Jeffrey Grissom not at all, I thought he would have been a lot better in the NFL though.
Jeffrey Grissom yes he was
Blake Harris he was a bust. I think some of y'all don't know what the definition of bust is. A lot of these top players be top 10 picks or first-round picks and have below-average careers and y'all be staying they're not bust, I don't get it.
Jeffrey Grissom Not at all. Super talented, hard running ball carrier. Injuries are a b💰tch
Not a bust just a busted team at the time.
FlemLo, my dude. Your channel is dope. Your content is always well presented and well researched. The fact that you have more interesting sports content than multi-million dollar production companies like ESPN, sportscenter, get up and first take says a lot about how talented you are. Somebody sign this man!!
Much respect, Mr. Raps. 🤙
Ion know about you cats but if someone cost me over $200M, it'd be really hard not to take that discussion back to old testament resolutions. Just saying that that's the kind of dough that can catapult a whole generation of family to a better place.
💯💯 a generation and a city that advisor would of got an bounty
Who was it?
If I was robbed of 200 million. The body of that financial advisor would be found washed up on a river bank
Well, either the adviser get it or Joe Biden😜
You may not have graduated but you are definitely highly intelligent and have a solid work ethic. Hard af to self motivate to build a YT channel.
McFadden was legit next level talent - reminded me so much of Eric Dickerson- similar running style upright w break away speed
My oldest brother used to work as a card dealer at Graton resort and casino in Rohnert Park, CA. Just an hour North of San Francisco or even just an hour north of Oakland depending on where you want to go. It turns out he once dealt cards to Darren McFadden back when he was on the Raiders. Awesome!
Sad to say Oakland Raiders ran him to the ground. Dude was my favorite player on the team on the team but the team failed to put talent around him.
I found this channel two days ago and this is the 30 video in a row I’ve watched from him these are some of the best videos in how he breaks down everything
What happened to David garrard
GOOD 1
This is my 1st time watching your pod cast/channel and it is by far the BEST I've ever seen!!! Keep it up my man!!!
I'm here after he fell asleep in a Whattaburger drive thru. Dude was hammered.
Lol
@Christopher Palmer Never been so drunk I've fallen asleep in a car like that. Let alone with it running and not in Park.
Being in the league for 3-4 years is a success. 10 years, consider yourself very fortunate. It didn't workout like most thought it would turn out to be but having that longevity in a sport that is violent and has a short season is a blessing.
That's a lot of siblings.
average mexican sized family
McFadden was a GREAT talent. It is a shame that he was injury prone because he could have had close to an Adrian Peterson career. He was incredible at Arkansas.
@ALex Klassing damn you wylin 😭
@@rhgamecock1 Man he was a beast at Arkansas. He was so fun to watch on Saturdays, it's a shame we were not able to see what he was fully capable of.
@@unholydiver1095 that's a lot of tacos...
You should do a story about Ryan Perriloux, #1 high school quarterback in the nation around 2006-2007. Broke all kinds of records in high school. He then signed with LSU. There was alot of hype about him being next big star and future Heisman when he was coming out of high school.
Still got my raiders dmac jersey hangin in the closet. Lol
I still have his t-shirt
What about kahlil Mack's jersey
You just gained another sub. Your thoughtful approach to your videos is perfect.
I'm very impressed with the amount of research that goes into your videos. I want to give props to you and your team (if someone helps).
Even as a Seahawks fan, that Dallas resurgence was one of my favorite stories.
Darren my cuz bro Nd its cool to see someone make a vid tlkin bout his life the dubs Nd l’s and u ain’t tlk bad on him thnks
Wow is this English?
I was wearing my white Raiders jersey with the #20 and a guy said without looking at the back of the jersey "#20 Darren McFadden". He was a talented running back and he is still remembered by the Raider nation.
So bitcoin just hit around 40k, your talking around a billion dollars now smfh
Now it’s up even more
This is what I like about college! Kids will play their asses off because they love the game! When they get to the NFL they realize it’s a business not a game anymore!💯
One of my favorite Hogs. Also
Cedric Cobb
Clint Stoerner
Tony Bua
Kenny Hamlin
Ahmad Carrol
Peyton Hillis
Felix Jones
King Ragnar don’t forget about those guys from warren AR. Greg Childs, Jarius Wright, Gragg, & That boi Joe Adams Along with Ryan big arm mallet. With Bobby petrino lol Arkansas can’t ever get right all the way. It’s always something lol
I just watched your Dez video which led me to subscribe/like - I’ve liked literally less than 20 videos in 8+ years of lurking TH-cam and subbed to less than 10.
I don’t understand why this channel hasn’t surpassed the 1 million subscription milestone. Great work man. I swear it - may the old gods and the new serve as witness - As of today I pledge my full support to your channel from this day forth, until my last.
Hi keep up the grind
Always
For a channel that talks about football,I have yet to see a video where I say to myself nope this is garbage.What was he thinking actually putting this out. I'm for real I sometimes watch 5 videos in a row. You are a hidden gem. You have a good ratio of seeing you talk and showing clips of the topic. Keep up the good work. I hope you hit over 1mil subs. Take care
Aye FlemLo you a real one
Preciate it bro
You’re a great newsman. Great research, presentation and editing...the editing is exceptional
Still got the hog dmac Jersey signed hanging up.... 501 stand up
FlemLo i jist found your channel like 2 days ago and ive watched probably 20 videos. Best research, facts, presentation I've seen yet.
My guy got snugged out of the Heisman by Mark May always talking about his bar fight. Dude deserves it went twice and could have won both at least deserved one of those
As a big football and nfl fan, I got to say I love your channels and your features on players past and present. keep up the good work. :)
Update-Darren was found passed out at a fast food drive-thru, dwi, Jan 2019 in Dallas
I foubd the channel by accident and now love it. On the nature of weird injuries, three of the most bizzare come from the world of soccer. 1) Santiago Canizares, Spanish goalkeeper. A few days before joining the national team for the World Cup was shaving in his bathroom. The aftershave bottle fell, broke and one piece cut his achilles. 2) Rio Ferdinand, English defender. He was at home watching TV (or playing video games) with his leg on his glass coffee table. Reaches for the remote, table brakes, cut achilles. 3) Darius Vassel, English Striker. There was a spot on his big toe that wouldn't leave. He decided to use a drill on his toe to clean it.
MY 5 what happens to i want to see in no particular order
1.. Byron leftwich/ David Garrard they have amazing parallels ...played against each other in college and competed aginst each other on same team for qb spot ....
2. Cedric Benson
3.Kellen winslow Jr.
4.Ian Johnson (Boise state running back who scored 2 point conversion to win the game)
5. Braylen Edwards ......WR michigan lol.. you remember him
Andre Wilson wow those names are throwing me back
KWJr was convicted of rape not too long ago
Braylen Edwards
He a success. He did more than most of us ever will
Do a video on Ron Dayne. He was a star at Wisconsin!
Alex Muehling Lol that's the story. He went to Wisconsin. The End.
My boy got recruited and was Daynes backup his freshman yr. But knew he wasnt ever gonna see anytime with that beast ahead of him. Transfered to Delaware and still didnt shine.
Yea his kid played in my high schools conference and destroyed us everytime
You have the right voice for this. Keep grinding bruh
Dude real talk I wish you never ever have to do a video of “what happened to” for Joe Burrow! I hope he takes your Bengals to places!
He was wearing slides when he was kicking the guy at the club. He missed and kicked the curb and dislocated his toe.
Houston Nutt called him at the hospital, and the first words out of his mouth to McFadden weren't, "Are you okay?".
They were, "Thank you for ruining my season". I got that story from someone very close to Darren.
Bs
@veritas2145 LOL
Glad you know more than the people close to him, dipshit.
You’re the reason I’ve started to find football interesting again 👌
Bro D Dog and I are from the same neighborhood. Thanks for the forever reminders of how special he was as a player
Btw if he signed power of attorney dude had 100% call on finances so if he didn’t invest guess what shouldn’t have given him power of attorney not sayin it don’t suck cuz it does but power of attorney contracts are signed with witnesses and notaries for a reason when u hand over power fully u can’t be pissed at choices that are made , well u can u can be pissed at ur self for signing over power of attorney and taking itself out of the equation
Man I can’t believe I found this channel. My man you kill it !
I seen this dude at Dallas gentleman's club or strip club throwing trash bags full of money. Him, shawn marion just throwing money. Smh lol
As a Raiders fan I feel for McFadden, always that 2nd place I think played with his mental, and being injury prone. Hope he's doing well now in 2021...Hope he get recouped for several million $....
What Happen Too Wide Receiver Mike Williams From Syracuse And Mike Williams From USC?
Keyvis Moore and now from clemson
Keyvis Moore I played with mike from Syracuse he from Buffalo
Keyvis Moore Mike Williams was a bust!
The MW that played for Tampa Bay? I always wondered that, too. Thought he was pretty good.
Keyvis Moore don’t one play for the chargers
Being from Arkansas, I love Darren McFadden and only wish him the very best in life and success.
Do one on Peyton Hillis next PLEASE
Peyton owns a sporting goods/gun store in Springdale, Ar now, did some high school coaching here too.. good dude.
He made it from the mud to the league something most people will never do, bruh is definitely a success
What happened to Mike Williams who played for the Buccaneers
That's great to hear Calvin, Thanks for sharing it.
