Some guys just don't know when they're freakin' lucky!! All the talent in the world can't cure stupid. I would be more sympathetic if I knew that the NFL wasn't trying to coach players up in their rookie seasons as to how to run their lives, budget money, pick their friends, etc., and I'm sure the team itself is rife with advisers, psychologists, etc., to help give these guys every chance in the world of making it big.
Of course, I know that a couple of years being rich and privy to help might not always trump a lifetime in the hood, either. I sure wish it did, though.
Still, I had high hopes that this young man would have gotten his life under control. Darned shame that this is the result. At least if he gets a year's suspension I hope the Whiner powers-that-be make certain that he HAS to go to LOTS of classes in decision making and substance abuse. Of course, it probably won't be courses put on by the Whiners but by the California Penal System -- and that is a damned shame.
