Millen on ex-Lion Charles Rogers: 'His NFL life is over'

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:26:00 -0500

Just saw these comments Matt Millen made today about former Lions receiver Charles Rogers in a live chat on NFL.com. The question came from "Phil" in Detroit: "Any chance Charles Rodgers (sic) turns around his life and comes back into the NFL?" Millen's response: "I think the answer is twofold: He has a chance to turn around his life and that's up to him. I think he wants to do that. But I do think his NFL life is over. And that's a shame, because even...

Rogers was the second overall pick in the 2003 NFL draft. Woodley was a second-round pick in '07. "Every year I have my football camp at Saginaw High, I made sure that I invite him out ev...

I've stopped laughing at Charles Rogers

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 19:56:23 -0500

When I heard about the latest misadventure (passed out drunk in his car in the middle of the afternoon) regarding the Detroit Lions' former number one pick, Charles Rogers, I knew I'd have to write about it. But what would I say that hasn't already been said by myself and others? So I sat on the subject for a day. The no longer a kid, 28 year old Rogers is a walking train wreck, and desperately needs help of some sort. To add more of my typical snark filled commentary, I'd on...

If you ever wondered how former Lions #2 overall pick Charles Rogers turned out to be such a bust, Jemele Hill of ESPN got the answer from him: Construda. Construda AY-DAY. In the sneak peek of the interview released by ESPN, Rogers tells Hill he smoked marijuana on a daily basis, then became addicted to painkillers after breaking his collarbone twice, in 2003 and 2004.

Charles Rogers Liked Weed and Pills A Lot

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 10:29:21 -0500

Hide your children because we have word of another professional athlete smoking marijuana and taking other drugs! I know, I'm as shocked as you are.

He's the subject of an upcoming Outside the Lines feature. First, to the clip (with some tweaks courtesy of Tirico Suave): Rogers has been a bust in every sense of the word after being selected...

Charles Rogers And Rashaan Salaam Want To Know What The Problem Is

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 00:12:00 -0500

Rashaan Salaam's name should become a verb the next time a professional athlete admits to smoking weed every day. "Player X rashaan salaamed himself out the league." Former Lion Charles Rogers gets us one step closer to sweet verbdom with his admission that he smoked the tweed every day and was addicted to painkillers. He flamed out after his third season in the league. Here's a clip from his ESPN interview with Jemele Hill that will air in its entirety on Outside The Lines August 16.

You have to love Matt Millen saying "something was clearly wrong". Really? Could it have been that he drafted a known problem case or the fact that he is the worst GM in the history of sports? He makes Wes Unseld look like a Hall of Famer for his front office work with the Bullets/Wizards.
