Rex "The Distraction" Chapman

When I first heard the Rex Chapman story, I was trying to figure out how he could have stolen $14,000 in Apple tech in one fell swoop, but apparently he pulled this "self checkout" scam on SEVEN separate occasions.

Talk about going to the well once too often.  Another report says he is earning just over 44k a year with his NBA pension.

What could he have going on that he can't live off $44,000?  It may not be the kind of scratch he made as an active player, but it is certainly above the national average.

Is there really nothing left in the bank from his 12 seasons as a player or the subsequent years as a front office exec or television analyst?

Does Chapman have a gambling problem?

Drug or alcohol addictions?

Maybe he’s a cartoon goat with an appetite for really fancy paper and he’s actually eating the money.  I don’t know WHY Rex Champman got himself into this situation (or why he can’t seem to keep a job since his playing career ended) but I do know this…

Somewhere in America, there’s an NFL player beating the shit out of his wife and kids, who’s happy Rex Chapman is distracting the media for a few minutes.
