MIAMI -- Former NFL and Miami Hurricanes star quarterback Bernie Kosar has filed for bankruptcy protection in Miami.

Kosar's Chapter 11 filing Friday lists assets between $1 million and $10 million and liabilities of between $10 million and $50 million.

Kosar owes almost $1.5 million in "unsecured debt" to the Cleveland Browns, who he played for from 1985 to 1993. Kosar also owes his ex-wife Babette $3 million and $725,000 (from a personal loan) to the owner of the Cleveland Gladiators of the Arena Football League. He owes a bank more than $9 million for bad real estate deals.

I wish I could blame it on Belichick. I’ve hated that cheater since I was ten years old.

I have to join others in this thread in voicing astonishment that there is actually a living woman named Babette. What are parents thinking?

I'm astonished too, but for a different reason: that FReepers are raising their brows at such a name. What's wrong with a name like "Babette"? All it is is a French name.
