shawn306 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Sad Story ? Why ? Sorry I'm not buying it. The guy had made his money. He was one of the best OL of his era and I'm supposed to be sad that he got busted for drug smuggling ? Nope. No sadness here. He got what he deserved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that but after he gets busted once he gets busted again six weeks later ? Yeah your right it is sad. Sad that he will never see the HOF. Sad that some of that dope he dealt may have been involved in some person dying. The only problem I have with him is that he is out of jail.
