Ok, so there are a lot of things going on here, so I'll reduce it to just a few and let others pick out things they see as interesting or pertinent.
Another college sports 'star' who has failed in his financial life.
Couldn't handle the big pressure so he used drugs.
Maybe shouldn't have been there to begin with, b/c maybe just maybe he got academically passed over b/c of his sports talent?
Maybe just maybe needed some kind of life coach/mentor to help him thru the rocks and shoals of reality and big time pressure?
Maybe just maybe he should have had responsible adults watch over him as he was growing up?
Or maybe he's just another curse upon the Detriot Lions who year after year find ways of losing.....(that's a local twist on it...if you're not from MI or follow MI sports, you're just laughing at the Lions for year upon year of losing and failure....)
