In an interview with Brian Burnsed ofSports Illustratedon Wednesday, former NFL running back Clinton Portis recounted considering murder as a means of revenge for going bankrupt. <\/p>\n
According to Burnsed, nearly all of the money Portis handed over to a group of men to manage and make safe investments with in 2013 disappeared, which resulted in his contemplating murder. <\/p>\n
\"It wasn't no beat up,\" Portis said.\"It waskill.\" <\/p>\n
Portis discussed sitting in his car outside aWashington, D.C., office building with a pistol in his possession in hopes of confronting one of the investors who squandered his money. <\/p>\n
A trio of financial advisersJeff Rubin,Jinesh Brahmbhatt andFuad Ahmedallegedly steered Portis toward faulty investments that resulted in millions lost for the former running back. <\/p>\n
In his 2015 bankruptcy filings, Portis made potential claims of $11 million against them, but he believes it is unlikely he will recover anything close to that number. <\/p>\n
Along with investment issues, Burnsed wrote in detail about Portis' lavish spending on cars, houses, clothing and trips, all of which contributed to his eventual bankruptcy. <\/p>\n
Despite the losses, Portis told Burnsed he believes he can earn much of it back through a broadcasting career and appearance fees. <\/p>\n
Portis also told Burnsed that he sustained more than 10 concussions during his career and is eligible to receive compensation as part of theNFL's $1 billion concussion settlement if he displays the requisite symptoms. <\/p>\n
Rather than attempting to collect, however, Portis said he'd rather not know if there's anything seriously wrong with him:\"F--k that concussion money. I'm scared. I'm really scared of the results.\" <\/p>\n
The 35-year-old Portis played nine NFL seasons with the Denver Broncos and Washington Redskins and was named to two Pro Bowls. <\/p>\n
He topped 1,000 rushing yards in a season on six occasions, including three campaigns of 1,500 or more yards in his first four NFL seasons. <\/p>\n
Portis last played during the 2010 season and retired having earned$43.1 million, per Burnsed. <\/p>\n
