Karl Malone's Forgotten Son

I must admit that I was always a fan of Karl Malone when he played in the NBA. He lived quietly in Salt Lake City, Utah (which is not easy for most young millionaires) and made the Utah Jazz a contender. He likely would have won a title or two if not for Michael Jordan dominating the sport at the same time. Nevertheless, he's a two-time league MVP and one of the greatest power forwards to ever play the game.

Now comes the news that a football player named Demetrius Bell - recently drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the seventh round of the NFL Draft - is the son that Karl Malone had with a 13-year old girl when Malone was a sophomore at Louisiana Tech. 13-years old! He could (should?) have been arrested for that.

Here's a link to a blog called With Leather, and the lurid story that will change your opinion of Karl Malone forever: Karl Malone Liked ‘Em Young.

The original article about this story came from Allen Wilson of The Buffalo News.
