8-Ball Jamal cant retire During a difficult season with the Cleveland Browns, veteran running back Jamal Lewis decided he'd had enough; he began openly talking about retirement. But with Lewis not officially retiring, the team opted to cut him loose. And though it's possible that he might never play again, he apparently has more than 25 million reasons to consider an eleventh NFL season. A reader has tipped us off to a December 2008 civil judgment against Lewis and two other defendants. It appears that the plaintiff, Stillwater Asset Backed Fund, L.P., had at some point obtained a judgment against Lewis and two other entities in Georgia, and that an action was filed in Ohio in the hopes of pursuing any local assets of Lewis and/or the other two defendants. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/02/17/jamal-lewis-might-not-be-able-to-retire/
