Mychal Kendricks had just finished handing out a no-holds-barred scouting report on his former team, on HBO's "Hard Knocks."
Then, the federal government stepped in and busted him for actual insider trading.
That's a new one, even for the Cleveland Browns.
According to the feds, Kendricks turned $80,000 into $1.2 million in profit after exchanging Philadelphia Eagles tickets and other services for trade tips. Kendricks faces "substantial prison time" if convicted. (He's already admitted to it.)
Shortly after his arrest, the Browns released Kendricks, proving a white collar crime is a quicker ticket off an NFL roster than some other, seemingly more egregious, criminal offenses.
