Rod Strickland, Mentor?
Much of this week’s Cheap Seats was ripped from the police blotter during the Chris Webber Era of D.C. hoops, a time when local cops handcuffed more Bullets and Wizards than they did IMF protesters.
Nobody got popped during those years more than Rod Strickland. His rap sheet as an NBA player included multiple arrests for assault, three DUI busts, an indecent exposure charge, disorderly conduct on U Street, ripping a gash in a teammate's forehead in a hotel room brouhaha, and, best of all, an indictment for allegedly KO’ing a waitress in the parking lot of a T.G.I. Friday's in Bowie.
So it’s a little shocking to see what Strickland is up to these days. He's a role model.
I'm not buying it.

Rod Strickland is one of the most underrated point guards in history. On the court, he played the position brilliantly often flawlessly.
11:37 am
Jeff:
did you ever root for a team that traded for or otherwise acquired strickland? if so, i can't believe you'd use "flawless" on the same page. nothing explains Strickland more to me than that behind-the-back-over-the-shoulder-dipsy-doodle turnover that cost his second team, the Spurs, the title back in 1990 or so. nobody can question his talent: the guy lasted, what, 18 years, in the nba? but he let everybody who ever cheered for him down. his stay with the bullets/wizards was a travesty, in keeping with his stays anywhere...
10:15 am
Ok - I pulled your whole comment....The guy played 17 years in the league...brinign up that play in 1990 - one play...is like defining Bill Buckner's career on THAT one play...c'mon - let's not be nasty about this...I know my points are arguable...but the guy ON the court was considered a warrior...he did not trash talk...he played the game right at that position... I mean, look at the respect he has/had from his peers...Iverson's favorite point guard ever...Webber's favorite point guard he played with...that mean's something...no?
12:00 pm
Jeff:
i would only compare strickland's flub to buckner's if buckner had tried to field that fateful ground ball between his legs just to show off, and then had gone out and beat up his wife and neighbors.
again, i'm no GM, but i always assumed strickland's talent was massive, just because he stuck around so long despite being, from what the newspapers always told me, a borderline menace to society. so, perhaps, as you say, strickland was great to play with; he was hard to cheer for.
i do think strickland eventually will be lumped together with the players you cite as his biggest fans -- iverson and webber -- since they were also blatantly gifted guys who decided early in their careers that they needed to project a certain street-tough image.
their reputations reflect those projections.
this trio's legacy won't be helped by the fact that none of 'em ever won a title, either. (i really hate when folks use the no-ring! barb against a player in any team sport, but, what the hell!)
thanks for your thoughts.
10:27 am
No argument....very well said.....
3:26 pm

I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU
11:41 pm
Dontel show that song writer chick you talking about is Arlene De valle
12:05 pm
That's Right..South Bronx NY all day baby. For all those who are just talking, let it be known that you would never say those unkind words to his face, trust me. You would get dealt with up close and personal. Rod is NO PUNK. He is a project dude from the hood hood, not nearby somewhere. I grew up with Rod on 138th, went to all the same schools until he left for boarding school downsouth. Rod took care of all his peeople, never got big headed, didnt put on a front like he was something he wasn't and didnt like phoney people. In other words, he isn't fake like a lot of you haters out there. Just cause you have to go to your bumb 9-5, you wife is probably horse ugly, youre broke as a joke, live at home with your Mom and her new husband and you let people walk all over you, don't get mad at this dude. So what you mad cause he could get the good looking women and you can't? He was rumored to be hittin all the DC chicks? Whats wrong with that? If you could, you would too (no hommo). If youre a female reader/poster , are you mad that hit it or one of your friends? or mad that you didnt become his wife. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease. So he was treating someone bad. Who cares? Like he was the first one to invent this. Pleeeeeeeeeese. Im surprise that a lot of grown men on here act real feminine with their crybaby attitude. Just worry about yourselves. Im sure everyone here has made mistakes or done something they weren't supposed to do (whether you got caught or not), so stop passing judgment on other people. Now that's cowardly!! People love sensationalism and gossip. Those are both characteristics of soft, whimpy, needy people who have nothing better to do than worry about what the next man is doing. You are feeding in to the system fools! Just do what you need to do for yourself and stop worrying about other. This amazes me, especially coming from the guys here who are hating on him. Jealousy maybe?
As far as Basketball goesPlease dont tell me nothing about Rod's BBall skills either, cause he had to go down as one of the most underated PG of all time. Im sure he put it on one of you favorite players back in 90's.
12:12 pm
Dave, you Marshmellow!! Spineless jellyfish. Im sure you would never make it through the "system" acting like this. What color is your skirt? Guys should NEVER been jealous of another guy. Thats rule # 2081. You know this Im sure. Like what guy do you know, that has millions, plays pro sports wouldnt take advantage of his celeb status. So what, you dont think he hated having people bug him all day for money, autographs, time, etc? So its give and take. So he took, so what. So what these women were angels?? Do you know that for sure? Maybe they were out for money? Maybe he was wise and played them first. Well, we dont know the answers to any of this. So like Bronx Bob say, stop acting fem man. Its getting worse in the 21st century, we have everything from dry snitching to flat out ratting to guys having more feminine characteristics like jealousy and envy. Its sad!
1:47 pm
the sad part is regarding rod
is that he appears to be a really nice guy
yeah people make mistakes but you handle your business '
you dont run like a coward then hide behind "oh these hoes are after my money" what a joke
and the guys commit from 138 st yeah yeah yeah your wright rodney is the same hood rat ghetto as thinking fool when he can get away with it ........money dosnt buy class ........stop making kids stop having long term relationships with women as you talk shit about your wife
if your not happy with her leave her ass alone stop humiliating her .....and that writer chick i feel bad for her she got a bad deal and mr rod knows it
we have all seen him with her on many occasions in the last 10 years .....then you make a child with her and claim its a money thing wow wow wow dont forget court is public records fool
yall need to get it write
and this great mentor needs to be there for all six of his kids not just the one he made with wifey poo all of them ......and you want to guide other peoples kids guide your own .......dont claim mistakes accidents and blah blah blah
STAND UP STRICKLAND BE A MAN NOT A COWARD "HOT ROD"

Where is Arlene?? Does She also have a kid with one of the members of Jodeci?
8:03 pm
What happen to Arlene's book deal... about her life with Rod?
7:38 am
good question , from an inside source
she is a very private person so she is not entertaining that offer at the moment but that she has another option at the end of the year
as soon as rod is successful in coaching im sure thell be around to hound her again
7:49 am
its sad that he is flying around mentoring kids when he dosnt even check for his own
i live in her neighborhood and saw her at whole foods with her son and daughter he is one handsome kid
it broke my heart to see this lady with the most respectful kids ....her son grabbed her face and kissed her and said "mommy did i ever tell you your beautiful"
me and my girlfriends almost cried when i have a son one day i hope he is like that .....at one point arlene spotted us looking at her and the kids ....she put the hood over her sons head and left whole foods
she looks like she dosnt play hahah so we ran to parking lot she caught us ....she put the kids in the car and starting walking towards us ...ofcourse we broke out before she got close and boy she didnt look happy lol lol
1:15 am
I also heard that she got a daughter with Devante from Jodeci.
2:52 am
Any info on Rod's wife? Cheryl
3:04 am
How does Rod wife and Arlene looks like.
11:39 am
I personal knows Rod, his wife and Arlene. Rodney does take care of his kids. and to person asked " does Arlene have a kid with DeVante Swing" yes! She does.

6:30 pm
hey rod is that you trying to throw devante in the mix
to throw the heat off you
you dead beat
6:35 pm
i agree good try its either rod or some chicks he has covinced to help him protect his name
but its too late look at rods track record
devante has a pretty girlfriend called ray
and he is very happy poor rod try a diffrent trick
or simply just stepp up money thats easy but being a man a real man .......ah yeah good luck with that
both chyrel and arlene are pretty but who cares they both date a dick
6:49 pm
To the writer KAY in response to the question regarding book deal
well this is the deal and i only know this because
i work for the publishing company
yes Arlene Del Valle was offered a book deal but it has nothing to do with rod
she is simply a talented creative writer and my company took an interest after her songs were published
sorry folks its as simple as that!

7:49 am
Most of the recent comments and RS himself resurfaced after decades no one has been concerned about RS or his personal life in many years! There's a generation gap with a lot of these comments RS has ALWAYS been a CHEAT he doesn't belong to any one woman and that includews his wife and he has many longtime girlfriends that he's involved with 15+years ages ranging early 20's-early 40's they kniw his status as a cheater but don't care their heart isn't in it like that. This internet hype is for the women who think they are in a solid relationship with him,LLS!! Being married to RS or having his kids don't make u his only one! This is old RS news...
8:15 am
The true point about the age range foir the early 20's are obviously recent girls over the past few years, the longtime girlfriends are the ones I'm specificaly referring to that RS has been seeing 15+ years, point being Arlene isn't the only longtime girlfriend, nor is RS faithful to any of these women including the wife. A lot of posters on here are stating facts but others are reaching and pulling info from other sites. When you know the truth you recognize the guessing games! What I'm mentioning is TRUE and if Rod or any of his women past or present are reading any of this they will know what's up and the truth is getting out to the women who are delusional... I don't sweat typos with this BS so if any figure it out cause u get the point... If only Rod's name was as relevant as the Billionaire Tiger Woods some of these women could sell some secret $hit to the tabloids but it doesn't! No one would pay $5 for this old ass news...
3:02 pm
THE TRUTH, I AGREE. THIS IS NEWS TO THE YOUNGER WOMEN IN THEIR EARLY 20'S. THE OLDER WOMEN KNOWS WHAT'S-UP WHEN GETTIN WITH ROD. ROD IS JUST FUN AND GAMES.
11:17 pm
You're right...
To summarize this topic you need to be realistic. It's basically, so what Rod is a cheat; he's not faithful to his wife, his baby momma(s), or his many girlfriends so that's his business, as the saying goes, "he's not the first to do this and damn sure won't be the last". Sorry, but I don't see any shocking news here! If anyone reading internet posts and think you're having a 1:1 with him you should face reality. Some women will marry a cheating man who they know will never change their desired ways; so they marry an abuser and a cheater; have his kids and carry his last name for years, along the way there are many other women he's involved with and a few that have his other children, all of this is tolerated to carry the last name of someone who is mainly known for bad things, IMO that isn't a good look; his wife can keep that all day everyday! It's great that he's coaching and may have nade a few changes but somethings never change.
What's the curiosity about what someone looks like?! Cheating 101: Looks doesn't comfirm that a man won't cheat, some very beautiful women have been cheated on, even if the man is getting the sex every way, when, where and how he wants it. If a man or woman want to cheat they are going to cheat regardless of looks or any other reason. I'm sure it was a general statement because that's always the first thing a man or woman usually want to know is what does the person look like.
Choices are personal; let him deal with this he's only fooling himself if women get wiser; stop trying to be connected with a "who cares" name and get connected with yourself; that's what matters!
12:32 am
Yall trying to make Rod the next Tiger Woods lol!
ohnoboo, um.. ok! I get ya!
8:30 am
LOL That will never happen!...
I already mentioned that... Tiger is relevant news current issues that people and the media are super interested in. LOL This old info been going on so many years ago then all RS talk was on a long pause for years until Rod was quoted in a recent interview that he was married and had kids that's when his women who didn't know went wild on the internet sites-LLS! It's crazy that so many involved with him didn't already know that
Some can try but he will never be relevant as Tiger Woods LOL
Its just being put out there again for people playing catch up on info dating back to 1990
11:35 pm
1 of my girlfriends sent me this in my email, and I would like to know? ...
Why do People think Cheryl and Arlene are the only ones that're seeing Rod? I for once stop messing with Rod after finding the love of my life! My husband, Ladies be careful out there!
11:45 pm
he just recently mentioned he had a wife AND kids he has never said that in public ever .....he got attention not because of tiger but because he said he was a mentor to kids huhhhhhhhhhh
a mentor ??????????????? to kids??????????
rod dear you know the deal its cool to blame the women especially the 2 everyone is talking about
but the true question is are you a mentor to your own kids
??????????????????????????????or are you like 50 cents running around with everyone else kids
BOTTOM LINE ROD GROW UP DONT PRETEND YOU BEEN CLAIMING WIFEY BECAUSE YOU JUST THREW HER OUT THERE TO PORTRAY LIKE YOUR A CHANGED MAN ......MAYBE BECAUSE OF THE NEW JOB OR MAYBE EVEN YOUR NEW KIDS LOL
KARMA IS A BITCH DONT YOU FORGET IT
GET WRITE BROTHER STOP BEING A DRUNK
STOP FUCKING YOUR WACK 1ST BABY MOMA WHO IS A DIRT BAG
STOP CHEATING ON YOUR WIFE OR LEAVE HER
TAKE CARE OF ALL YOUR KIDS YOU DEAD BEAT
AND MAYBE YOU CAN DIE HAPPY
11:49 pm
RODNEY IS A LOST SOUL
TAKE CARE OF THOSE KIDS ALL OF THEM YOU JACKASS
11:54 pm
RODNEY DOSNT USE A CONDOM WITH ANY OF THESE WOMEN
AND THE ONES THAT ARE ON THIS SITE CAN CONFIRM THAT
YOU GUYS SHOULD GET TOGETHER AND CHARGE HIM WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER
BECAUSE AS I SEE IT HE IS PLAYING A DANGEROUS GAME
12:07 am
IN THE MIND OF A CHILD A CHILD SUPPORT CHECK MEANS NOTHING
BE A DAD ROD
I AGREE WITH RODGETALIFE IT MUST BE YOUNG GIRLS ON HERE THINKING THEY PICKED A WINNER ......NOTTTTTTTTTTTT
ROD IS OLD NEWS HIS WIFE IS NOT THINKING ABOUT HIM AT ALL
THE ARLENE PERSON I SAW AT NOBU SHE HAD A BIG ROCK ON HER FINGER SO I GUESS SHE MOVED ON

IS RIDICULOUS
ROD IS A LOSER
A DRUNK
A JAIL BIRD
A GREAT LYER
A DEAD BEAT
AND HE IS REACHING AND SO ARE YOU
ROD DONT PLAY WITH FIRE
12:24 am
I RATHER TALK ABOUT TIGER WOODS
12:43 am
Let me attempt to be the sacrificial lamb in all of this! I share similar lifestyle traits as RS and I make no excuses about that, NO CUTCARDS, but the major difference would be I am a hundrednaire while he is a millionaire!
1st off, I was married and still maintain a nonsexual (mutual attraction tho) relationship with ex and we have several children we both love tremendously! I come from the 'hood', se dc 2 be exact, just like RS and that defined me and bought me a long way! It is the very thing that attracts multiple 19-25 year olds to my 38 years....that swagger, confidence and tuffness cannot be BOUGHT, TAUGHT OR FAKED! Those of you who are HIP no what I'm talkin' bout and I say this to say men like myself and RS, women are our weakness and we have no problem SATISFYING THAT WEAKNESS!
SO what we can still get em' and get it up at this age, it's a testiment to our ALPHA MALE OLD G STATUS!
Its quite ironic that the HATE comes from cornball,fanatical individuals who live a stuctured, rigid and boring life of stouffers microdinners, internet pornC beer and mandatory EXILE TO THE COUCH OR BASEMENT imposed by your wives!
RS and I aren't those guys, we play by our own rules, do it our way and make no excuses about it! I feel his pain and WE LOVE OUR KIDS, it's the broads who are the problem!
They (women) know what it is when they get involved because we are take tt or leave it kinda' guys who like our women young, sexy, freaky and READY! Quite simple and it works until there is an AGENDA which is most certainly often times!
ROD was a player on the court, off the court and in life, he is what he is and you don't have to like it, JUST DON'T PROJECT YOUR MEDIOCRITY upon VARIETY!
This life is to be lived so go live yours and stop makin' his life y'alls entertainment.........WE LOVE THE KIDS, but women as well!
1:27 am
Tiger and Dwight Howard are the most talk about thing in sports not Rod.
1:34 am
How do you know his wife don't love him and Arlene is in engaged.
2:23 pm
@Truth4Real since u chose to spinoff from my User ID its too bad u didn't correctly comprehend the context of my statements. I'm not blaming anyone for their choice to be involved with Rod who's character you described in exact detail that I also agree with. However, I'm not Rod or one of his "chicks" I'm smarter than that. I'm certainly not "reaching" for anything regarding Rod; he can cheat everyday that his problem and any women who chose to allow themselves to be used by him and that includes Cheryl Strickland, Arlene Del Valle, Judy Cruz and all of the other women he is currently sexually involved with.
@DCStillhere LOL ur wild with the words but a lot of keepin it real points
@TruthBeTold IMO, If anyone needs to believe at least one post about Rod on this site or any other sites; what u mentioned about "Rod doesn't use condoms is VERY TRUE! Several women in the Real World NOT the internet said this about him. I'm not going into details about that but will mention a few of them have reasons to be concerned! When someone knows what they know before getting involved but choose to do what they do; it leads to a very risky situation; they can have that dangerous game!
Rod and his Randoms! Who's fooling who when ur putting ur health/life on the line
5:38 pm
I hope arlene write that book, I hope she talk about Rod in the book. maybe she can make that money like... superhead and carmen bryan did. i will the first one in line to buy thay book.

dont know judith but chyrel is very pretty and so is arlene you hater
7:11 pm
It doesn't matter what any of them look like; this doesn't change the well known fact that Rod is a cheater; he's not faithful to his wife Cheryl Strickland LOl! About the posters who are selectively spelling this easy name incorrectly to avoid an interet trail on her name;) no one cares that she's married to Rod; like this is something to be proud of. He's a poor example of a husband; she can have that title she's had it this long knowing her hubby's pattern with the women. Cheryl should ask him about one of his recent under the age of 24 JO's from Memph who found out she wasn't the only one LLS! so naive!! Running her mouth to her GF's (we all know how that goes) bragging about being seriously involved with him... REALLY?! Bragging about what!
11:49 pm
Funny, I just saw rod and arlene together not that long ago
11:22 pm

Blazers Top 40: No. 23 Rod Strickland
23. Rod Strickland | point guard
Ht: 6-foot-3 | Wt: 185 pound
Seasons as a Blazer: 5 (1992-1996, 2000-2001)
Statistics in Portland: 16.2 points, 8.2 assists
Back to Trail Blazers Top 40 home
Drive and dish led to 20 assists – twice
Growing up on the playgrounds in The Bronx, New York, Rod Strickland would often find himself going one-on-one with his opponent.
"It's like you were on an island, and he is trying to embarrass you, and you are trying to do the same to him," Strickland remembers. "So when I went to the basket, I was thinking 'I'm making this business."'
Fearless drives in traffic, finished off by a slick assist or a twisting layin with great spin off the backboard became a signature of Strickland, who had the difficult job of replacing Terry Porter at point guard.
"I remember his ability to get to the basket – him going coast-to-coast and finishing around the basket," Porter said. "He was one of the best guards in the pick-and-roll because he could split double teams."
In five seasons, Strickland vaulted to third on the team's all-time assists list (he has since slipped to fourth), and he still holds the franchise mark for assists in a game – 20 – which he did twice , against Phoenix in 1994 and at Houston in 1996.
In 17 NBA seasons, Strickland played for nine teams, but he says his time in Portland was his favorite, even though he led the league in assists with Washington.
"In Portland, we won," Strickland said. "Losing never feels good."
Strickland arrived as a free agent in the offseason of 1992, weeks after the Blazers lost to Chicago in the NBA Finals. It became an odd time in Blazers history, as the team's championship window quickly closed amid injuries to the aging Clyde Drexler, Jerome Kersey and Terry Porter.
"I remember when I first got there, they still had Clyde, Terry, Buck (Williams), and I was coming off the bench with Mario Elie and Cliff Robinson thinking, 'Wow! We have a helluva team'," Strickland said. "But then Clyde got hurt and everything changed."
Strickland moved into the starting lineup, Porter moved over to shooting guard, and the Blazers salvaged a 51-win season despite starters missing 58 games because of injury. Coach Rick Adelman used 21 starting lineups that season.
By 1994, Strickland was the full-time starter, and he turned in some of the flashiest point guard play in franchise history. Never afraid of a play that involved a high-degree of difficulty, Strickland twice had franchise-record 20-assist performances.
The only problem is he can't remember them.
"I would guess that Cliff had a good game, Terry and Clyde hit some shots," Strickland said laughing. "My thing as a point guard was if guys got hot, you continue to look for them."
Today, Strickland is using his point-guard experience to teach one of the best point guards in college basketball, Kentucky freshman John Wall. Strickland is an assistant coach for the Wildcats, who are ranked No. 1 by the Associated Press.
"I love coaching because I like dealing with players," Strickland said. "It's rewarding to help kids on and off the court, because I feel like I have a lot of experiences I can relate to them – both good and bad."
As a former point guard, Strickland spends a lot of time with Wall, a phenom who is expected to turn professional and be the top pick in the NBA draft this summer. Strickland said all the hype about Wall is warranted.
"Oh my God, he is the truth," Strickland said. "He is very, very impressive. He's a go-getter. He's not a guy you have to push to get into the gym. But we talk about the NBA game as the situations come up, and I try to give him advice. But he has his eyes on the prize. He knows what he wants."
Strickland, 43, is married to wife Cheryl and has four kids: Torin (15), Tai (10), Terrell (8) and Tanner (4).

UK assistant basketball coach pleads not guilty to DUI
By Josh Kegley - jkegley@herald-leader.com
A University of Kentucky assistant basketball coach has pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence of alcohol.
Rod Strickland, 43, of Lexington was arraigned Thursday in Fayette District Court. Strickland did not appear in court; his attorney, Jim Lowry of Lexington, entered the plea on his behalf.
Strickland was arrested about 3 a.m. Sunday at Tates Creek and New Circle roads after an officer saw Strickland run a red light, according to documents filed in Fayette District Court. The officer administered several tests for alcohol intoxication, and Strickland failed, the report said. The officer noted in his report that Strickland smelled of alcohol. Strickland refused a breath test, according to the report.
Strickland also is charged with disregarding a traffic light, failure to maintain insurance and improper registration.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 12.
Rod Strickland has been charged with DUI four times in the past 12 years.

Thank you so much for giving my cousin all the free publicity. TD Jakes says that you should thank your critics for giving you air time you dont have to pay for.
As I have read all the comments that have been blogged and posted from last year until the 6th month of 2010 I am appalled that you guys have so much time on your hands that you could be spending trying to accomplish half of what this man has done in his almost 47yrs coming in July on this place that we are blessed enough to live on God's earth. He has given us all the same ability. To live a life more abundantly. While you guys are gossiping and telling half truths, Rod is laughing all way to the bank. I am going to give you all a brief history lesson on Rod Strickland. Our late grandmothers are sisters. Yes he was reared in the Harry Truman Progects in the Bronx. He came from very humble beginnings youngest of 4 children, Not even the best baller in the family his brothers Steven & Byron were better than he was. But Rod was the chosen one yes married to Cheryl five beautiful children , one before marriage an adult son whom he has always provided for. He is adored by the whole family. Yes we all make mistakes Judge lest ye be judged.. Rod the business man who made wise business choices whose millions are making millions.... What better man to mentor and be an assistant coach to teach young men tough lessons from his own past mistakes? HOW CAN I TEACH YOU SOMETHING THAT I HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED? Rod is not like most NBA players he came from a two parent home mother was
head rn nurse emergency room Harlem Hospital and his Dad was an ac/refrigrator technican. Folks I am simply saying that we all make mistakes we all have skeltons in our closests. SOME OF YOU HAVE WARM BODIES FROM LAST NIGHT...
It takes a miserable person to put someone else's garbage in the street. He is going to make more mistakes and unfortunately 4 u guys longevity runs in our family. So you will be here this time in the next decade speaking about Rod and his 5th DUI and whatever other mistakes he may make. But one thing you must keep in mind he can afford to make them how about you? OLD PROVERB 6 MONTHS TO MIND MY OWN BUSINESS AND 6 MONTHS TO LEAVE YOURS ALONE, YOU LIVE IN YOUR HOUSE AND I LIVE IN MY HOUSE. CAN YOU GUYS AFFORD TO RETIRE AT 40? REMEMBER BABY ROD DIDNT SPEND LAVISHLY WHILE HE ACQUIRED HIS WEALTH, HE LIVED MODESTLY. HOW MANY OF YOU GO TO WORK JUST BECAUSE? STOP THROWING THEM STONES, DIG A DITCH FOR YOUR BROTHER MAKE SURE YOU DIG 2 ONE 4 YOURSELF.... GET A LIFE PEOPLE AND MAKE SOME WEALTH FOR YOURSELF WHILE WE LIVING IN THIS RECESSION BECAUSE ROD DONT HAVE CARE IN THE WORLD. DO YOUR RESEARCH IF THEY FIRE HIM HE IS LOSING 1200.00 A MONTH NO BENEFITS PEANUTS BABY.............

CandyCane:
Get ur facts straight you may think you know Rod.. I dont care how many yrs you think you may have known him, your facts are inaccurate trust me baby he is far from broke. And if you little tramps are stupid enough to believe that then you all need to go to Wall Street and buy some stock from broke ass Goldman & Sachs. Like I said before you got too much time on your hands to worry about Rod and his millions. Get a life and stop counting somoen elses money...

rodneys cousin truth of the matter is yes he made alot of mistakes , but you do have to be responsible for what you created ,you just cant call a do ever once your child is here, its very convienient for this rodney guy to have his family members rally for him,and he tries to have people downplay his childs mother on the net while he hides as if he is the victim ....and you have the ordasity to qoute scriptures ....now he is a mentor to other peoples kids while his kid is alienated. what type of man wont even speak to his child ....obviously a talk is important , i mean thats what he gets paid to do these days .....oh and its great that he comes from a hard working mother and father but where are they in the life of this child ?????? can you answer that , where is the god in pretending the child dosent exist .... this man has that much control over people that even his own family are to afraid to hit him with some truth ..........bottom line is that your cousin is merely a coward .....and that sad part of it you know that to be true .....god is head of all and your cousin will have to answer to him since your family are so afraid to ruffel his feathers ..
