What people don’t realize about the life of an NFL player, is that for the majority of players it is very short live. Very few become so ultra famous that once their playing days are over they are still known to the general public.
Most players after they spend a few years in the league just Fade to Turkey with Allen Iverson.
Such is the case of LaDairis Jackson who played two years in the league and just disappeared. His former wife though still wanted those good insurance benefits and tried to scam the league out of them.
TMZ has the details:
According to court docs filed today in L.A., the NFL Players Insurance Plan is cracking down on Bobbi Jackson — ex-wife of LaDairis Jackson, who played sparingly in the NFL for the Redskins (2002) and the Bengals (2003).
The NFL P.I.P. alleges … after Bobbi and LaDairis divorced, Bobbi falsely claimed to be his dependent in order to get in on his NFL health care benefits.
The lawsuit claims Bobbi received medical benefits totaling $88,764.40 — until they finally caught on in January 2009.
Doesn’t say why “Bobbi” couldn’t get a job and get her own benefits, but I digress.
I am sure she will be on a reality show in six months.
