It appears that the Mailman forgot to mail some child support checks

The Buffalo Bills drafted Demetrius Bell in the 7th round of the NFL draft last weekend. It turns out that Bell spent his entire childhood without any support from his father…..who turns out to be NBA future Hall of Famer Karl “The Mailman” Malone. But as bad as being a deadbeat dad makes Malone look, the following excerpt from Allen Wilson’s column in the Buffalo News makes him seem much, much worse. http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/columns/story/334471.html
Bell is the son of Malone, but the Mailman had no role in Bell’s success except passing along athletic genes.
The two have had very little contact during Bell’s life. His mother, Gloria Bell, reportedly was only 13 years old and Malone a college sophomore at Louisiana Tech when Demetrius was born. Malone might have served jail time had her family asked the district attorney to file criminal charges.
And I thought it couldn’t get any worse for the Mailman after his appearance as a wrestler with the WCW a few years back. I guess I was wrong.
