If you have been watching the NFL Combine this week (and I know you have), then you likely have been very impressed with the work of one Darren McFadden, who has been taking the league by storm. His 4.27 in the 40 had the scouts buzzing and may have made him into a Top 3 pick. But speed is not the only area in which McFadden is beginning to make himself into a professional. Having not yet entered the NFL or gotten past the age of 21, Darren has still been impressing in his race to supplant Calvin Murphy as professional sports’ leader in illegitimate children. He is reported to have three kids already, and he hasnt even taken an NFL paycheck…quite a start indeed.
Aww yes, nothing says professional sports like athletes having children out of wedlock. Because nearly every athlete has at some point had some relationship with a woman that is not his wife and has had a kid in the process, it takes a special degree of chutzpah to stand out in this category. But the folks at FanIQ.com have composed a list of the worst deadbeat dads in the history of professional sports. And the list is fascinating in its detail. For instance, who knew that Ricky Williams and Willis McGahee both had 3 such children? And did you expect that Jason Caffey would have 7??? Below are the top 10 offenders, and you may be shocked by the results.
1. Calvin Murphy — The undisputed leader in the clubhouse and the most likely to never be caught. 14 children by 9 different women….no one since George Washington has had a greater claim to being the “Father of our Country.”
2. Travis Henry — Nine kids by nine different women. Add to that a pending drug charge and you have an individual who stands as a beacon to all as to how not live one’s life.
3. Willie Anderson — Former San Antonio Spur with 9 kids…..hard to believe he is now known more for his progeny than his play, but hey Willie, I do have your rookie card.
4. Evander Holyfield — Boxing champ known for his past greatness, his current difficulty speaking and his future lack of an ear. 9 kids…and counting….but at least he is a minister.
5. Jason Caffey Former Alabama great and NBA stiff, Caffey is mighty prolific with the ladies. 8 kids by 7 women….each of whom realize that not only is their daddy a skeezer but he is also a stiff.
6. Shawn Kemp — 7 by 6 women
7. Derrick Thomas — 7 by 5 women and he unfortunately passed away at 33.
8. Ray Lewis — 6 by 4 women and a former murder charge
9. Marshall Faulk — 6 by 3 women….guess that is why he went to the NFL Network
10. Larry Johnson — 5 by 4 women….who knew that Grand-Ma-Ma would act this way.
So ladies, the lesson here is to stay away from these guys….most are now washed up and all have a past….so when Ray Lewis comes knockin, head in the other direction….

How many kids does “Darren” McFadden have? Have you been hanging out with Bryan the Intern too much?
February 28th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
I always heard Rex Chapman had 2-3 kids before he got to UK….2 by Mark Higgs’ sister. She was a track star in Owensboro, if I remember correctly. Also shocked to not see Antione Walker on this list. I knew he was a deadbeat daddy so I figured there were a few kids in his past.
Christian Laettner is not on this list because he is gay.
February 28th, 2008 at 2:24 pm
#2 The Laettner comment is funny I dont care who you are !!!
February 28th, 2008 at 2:26 pm
There are probably no posters that I dislike more than those who come on here and correct trivial spelling errors. Please find something else to do with your life
February 28th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
I’ll take that as a thank you.
February 28th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
I’ve got two kids by one women.

February 28th, 2008 at 2:38 pm
Matt - it appears your list consists of only Black Male Athletes - can you supply some examples of White Male Athletes?
THANKS!!!!!!
February 28th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
Maybe those guys should switch to giving facials to their lady
friends.
February 28th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
At least at FanIQ.com they listed some white guys - not many but a few - plus they didn’t produce the numbers as the famous BMA; I wonder if science and society has made note of this matter.
February 28th, 2008 at 3:01 pm
I just listed the top guys….I dont make the list, I just give it out
February 28th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Just don’t get married, bud.
February 28th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
LADIES STAY AWAY FROM THESE GUYS???????!!!!!!!!!!
THESE ARE PROBABLY THE RESULT OF SOME GOLD DIGGERS
February 28th, 2008 at 3:17 pm
9) You are ridiculous…yeah he was trying to be racist…get a damn life d-bag
February 28th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Where’s Rod “HeHateMe” Smart? Thought he’d be high on this list.
February 28th, 2008 at 3:20 pm
If you take out child support Henry would have to be the least paid player in the NFL…Jesus Christ keep it in your pants
February 28th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
#15 - YFI - I believe the joke is on you
February 28th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
18) Oh in that case…that was soo damn funny, i cant stop laughing?
February 28th, 2008 at 3:44 pm
I think Calvin Murphy may be my dad
February 28th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
I think if I got drafted I’d be getting a vasectomy immediately….
Seriously, I used to work a job that involved collection of child support. One local guy who went on to a local college got drafted and THE NEXT DAY is baby mama called in to report this to the child support people……So you gotta know this: If there’s gonna be ejaculation, get ready with payment information…Sorry Johnnie Cochran.

ppatsweedman = witless dumbass
February 28th, 2008 at 4:12 pm
I heard Mike Tyson caught an STD from biting off Holyfield’s ear.
February 28th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
ppatsweedman, try to write something and not insult other bloggers
It’ll work better for everone
February 28th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Larry Bird is a bum as well. Not sure how many kids he has, but there was an article a few years ago about how he wouldn’t even acknowledge a daughter that he has. I just want to know who would hook up with someone as ugly as Larry Bird(besides Magic of course).
February 28th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
dewildcats…Just dont write ANYTHING..and i wont feel the need to remind you that you’re a dumbass…thanks
February 28th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
And you know…its kindof hard to tell when someone is joking on the internet, being that we cant see your facial expressions or hear your tone of voice…so saying something like that, in Kentucky especially, does not get percieved as a joke…which i dont believe matt got either, maybe im wrong…but like i said even if it was a joke, it was pretty lame.
February 28th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
By the looks of the Evander Holyfield picture, he could probably breast feed his kids himself.
February 28th, 2008 at 5:10 pm
1) I don’t understand what you are talking about–his name is Darren McFadden–Matt spelled it right every time in the post & just like you did in your pointless post. Get a life Merriam Webster!!
February 28th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
Hey boosters,
Step 1: Put together a “Lexington ladies with questionable morals” combine down at the Spearmint Rhino. Get some solid 40 times, broad jumps, see who’s got an arm, swimsuit competition, jugs machine work, and Oklahoma drills. Make the cut at 50.
Step 2: Invite Mr. McFadden to Keeneland, a lot. Continually set him up with the ladies via some Three’s Company type hijinks and hope he slips some past the goalie(s).
Step 3: Sit back and watch the BCS championships come rollin’ in starting around 2026.
It’s almost too easy.
February 28th, 2008 at 6:19 pm
Matt, your last paragraph said “So ladies, the lesson here is to stay away from these guys….”
On the contrary, I think 99% of the time the women are trying to get pregant. Looking for a free ride including child support.
I remember reading an actual memo that an NBA team distributed to its players about 15 years ago, and this is the truth. The memo was a reminder that if a player had an “encounter” on the road, that he better make sure he walked away with the condom. Apparently, a few pregnancies had occurred as a result of left behind condoms that were put to use by the hookup to get pregnant. No kidding.

#31 Your post doesnt sound very G-rated, I had to cover my ears.
February 28th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
I’m surpised Sean Kemp is so far down the list — maust have had a vascetomy. Calvin Murphy has alos been accused of sexual abuse bys some of his daughters. Dirk Minniefield had 3 kids in high school.
February 28th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
I can’t see what I’m typing half the time. I do know how to spell.
February 28th, 2008 at 6:42 pm
Totally unrelated, but NBC is reporting Roger Clemens is under investigation by the FBI for perjury.
February 28th, 2008 at 6:43 pm
Where are all the Vol vans today? Let’s rip Bruce Pearl (cheesy sweathog) some more and get them worked up. Congrats on your 29 hours of fame.
February 28th, 2008 at 7:08 pm
walk away with your condoms???
that’s just jacked…kinda makes me glad i never made it to the NBA…not that i had a chance, just sayin’
in the same vein, good thing they were using condoms…
February 28th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
How is Shawn Kemp not on this list? He’s got what, about 12 child he’s fathered out of wedlock.
February 28th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
