“He had so much money, the amount had to be high for it to be a thrill for him,” That is the problem with a lot of well paid celebs who gamble. A nickel on MNF won't do it for them. I quess it is all relative. Good read Rob.

Was an aquaintance of Art's in Vegas.

About 7 years ago he almost had me convinced to cash a bad check for him. A week later he was in jail again for check fraud.

He almost scammed me back in 1994 when he was living in Cincy.

He was smooth. He knew the lines and he used his career at OSU and the NFL to get in the front door.

What a loser, though.
