From WP's link...

"Goodson has been sued by three different women for child support for a total of six children he fathered with them. He also didn’t pay a $56,465 bill at a jewelry store, and after the store sued him, the amount he owed was garnished from his Raiders paychecks. And when Goodson was playing for the Panthers, he failed to pay his rent so often that he was sued for it three times and received two eviction notices. Goodson was also sued by a man who sold him a $49,000 Mercedes and said Goodson didn’t make the payments."

Yeah you can tell it's the dead time in the season when PFT is moralizing over this

Odd that Gantt didn't write that you think the guy with old panthers connections might be better for this story but I guess they need him on the Jimmy Clausen joke beat.
