BUFFALO, N. Brice McCain Jersey .Y. -- Vince Youngs lawyer disputed a companys claim that the Buffalo Bills backup quarterback defaulted on a high-risk loan and now owes nearly $1.7 million. Attorney Trey Dolezal also raised questions on Friday whether his client was even aware the loan was taken out in his name. Dolezal told The Associated Press by phone that Pro Player Funding never contacted Young, and instead worked with the players former financial adviser, Ronnie T. Peoples, in issuing a high-interest $1.877 million loan in May 2011. "Let me say this, according to Pro Player, they dealt directly with Ron Peoples," Dolezal said. "We believe that Ron Peoples was involved in this loan, contacted Pro Player, was the go-between between Pro Player to get this loan, and Vince never even know this loan was taking place." Dolezal said Young never had any contact with Pro Player, and questioned whether Young actually or knowingly signed the loan documents. "There are some problems with that signature, whether or not, No. 1, its Vinces signature and, No. 2, whether or not that signature was supposed to be attached to this document," Dolezal said. Pro Player Funding filed documents in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan on June 6 stating it was legally obligated to begin collecting $1.695 million from Young because the player defaulted on the loan. The company claimed Young did so by missing a payment in late May, shortly after signing a one-year contract potentially worth $3 million with the Bills. Among the documents Pro Player filed was what was called an affidavit of confession of judgment that included papers signed by Young as proof the player was aware of the terms and conditions of the loan. The short-term loan was to be repaid by January 2013 at an annual interest rate of 20 per cent. That rate jumped another 10 per cent if Young missed a payment. Dolezal intends to file a motion to have Pro Players order set aside, and also stop company representatives from collecting money from Young by attempting to approach him at training camp. "Theyre harassing him while hes trying to make the football team," he said. A message left with Brian Jedwab, Pro Player Fundings managing director, was not returned. Peoples attorney, David Chaumette, acknowledged the North Carolina-based financial planner initiated the loan, but disputed Dolezals claim that Young was not involved. Chaumette said Young was part of a series of three-way phone calls during which the loan was negotiated. At one point, Young faxed his drivers license to a Pro Player representative to make clear that the quarterback was the person on the phone, Chaumette told the AP. Chaumette noted that Young appointed a trustee to approve any financial decisions and transactions Peoples made on the quarterbacks behalf. And he added, the payment schedule -- the money was to be paid directly out of the Youngs NFL salary -- was set up without Peoples input because the quarterback had already fired the financial planner. Peoples and Youngs former agent, Major Adams, are both accused in a lawsuit the quarterback filed in Houston in June of cheating him out of at least $5.5 million. Young alleges the two conspired to commit fraud by forging his signature and falsifying documents to misappropriate money the quarterback was supposed to have earned from his five-year, $54 million rookie contract and through endorsement deals. Adams and Peoples have both denied the allegations. Young broke into the NFL as a high-profile star in 2006 after leading Texas to the national championship. He was drafted third overall by the Titans and was named the leagues offensive rookie of the year. Hes now on his third team in as many years after playing for Philadelphia last season. Public records show that at least 12 other NFL players obtained loans from Pro Player Funding in 2011 during the NFL lockout.

Youth Danieal Manning Jersey . 25 game against the Cleveland Indians from 7:10 p.m. (CDT) to 1:10 p. DENVER -- Jurors convicted Denver Broncos linebacker D.J. Williams on Wednesday of driving while ability-impaired, casting further doubt on the star tacklers playing time this season. Williams was charged with driving under the influence, but the jury returned the conviction on a lesser charge after a trial that lasted less than a day. He was also convicted of driving without headlights, the offence that prompted police to stop him near downtown Denver about 3 a.m. on Nov. 12, 2010. Williams, a defensive force for the Broncos, already is facing a six-game suspension in a separate case for failing a drug test. He left court Wednesday with his attorney without commenting. He could be sentenced in six weeks, although its not clear how much jail time, if any, he might serve. Williams is currently scheduled to be reinstated for the Broncos Oct. 28 game against the New Orleans Saints, although NFL commissioner Roger Goodell could punish him further for his conviction Wednesday. "It will be reviewed under our policies," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said. The Broncos said the team was aware of the situation, and it will be subject to review under the leagues policies. Prosecutors said Williams failed roadside sobriety tests during his traffic stop and refused to take a blood test to determine his possible alcohol level. He was taken to a detox facility. During the trial in Denver District Court, Williams attorney Harvey Steinberg questioned how the Denver police officers handled the traffic stop and criticized them for not taking into account whether concussions or other head injuries could affect sobriety tests given to Williams. Steinberg peppered the officers during questioning about how much they remembered from the night of the traffic stop and called their testimony a "moving bullet." He said one officer said after Williams had been taken into custody that he didnt notice slurred speech and that Williams appeared to be walking fine, contrary to what the arresting officer noted during sobriety tests. Red Arian Foster Jersey. "Thats the evidence that creates the doubt," Steinberg told jurors during closing arguments. Denver prosecutor Brian Dunn argued that Williams knew he was drunk and pointed to his refusal to take a blood test as evidence. "I mean if youre wrongly charged, isnt that the easiest way to take care of things?" the prosecutor said. Dunn told jurors that Williams failed sobriety tests, despite the athleticism he shows on the field. "This is somebody who can absolutely wreck a quarterback, wreck a running back, but he cant walk a straight line," he said. The Broncos stripped the linebacker of his team captain title shortly after his arrest -- the second time in seven seasons that he was detained for suspicion of drunken driving. In 2005, he pleaded guilty to impaired driving. Because of his pending suspension, Williams hasnt practiced with the starters at training camp, so the team can prepare his replacement, which appears to be Wesley Woodyard. Williams didnt do any contact work at camp until Monday when he worked with the second stringers after free agent linebacker Keith Brooking left practice with a pulled hamstring. Williams has led the Broncos in tackles the past three seasons and five times overall in his eight years since joining the NFL as Denvers top draft pick in 2004 out of the University of Miami. His trial was delayed several times, including after he suffered a dislocated right elbow last fall during a game. The case was supposed to be resolved in May, but a judge declared a mistrial after Williams attorney objected to how the jury was selected. Steinberg asked for a mistrial again on Wednesday, this time arguing that the testimony of one officer was prejudicial to Williams. At issue was the officers answer, in response to a prosecutors question, that sober people are not admitted into detox facilities. Williams was expected to return to Broncos practice Thursday while the NFL reviews the outcome of the trial. ' ' '
