Alk Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Good for him. Hopefully he can get his life straightened out. I never like seeing a young player like him self destruct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSJ Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 I agree ALK I hope he gets his act toghter. This was a good first step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoachTsurfing Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 Wow, I'm shocked. I hope he wanted to do this and was not told by his lawyers to do it. I really hope he can come around and make a positive difference in someone's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 How anybody can root for this guy is beyond me. Yeah, here's to hoping the poor bastard who had somebody from his posse shoot and paralyze an innocent man after smashing a strippers face in to a stage turns around and has a great life. I hope the next letter this guy writes is from a prison in Nevada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made some stupid choices and got in some situations that a person in his postion shouldn't be in but I'm not going to pin the actions of his bodyguard on him unless some evidence comes out saying that he made the guy pull the trigger.

Yeah we shouldnt rush to judge him, yet. He has been given his second chance... let him have it... if he blows it again... everyone feel free to bash him...

I definately think he deserves the one year suspension but the fact that he is using that time off to go back to school is a positive step. There might still be hope for him.

There might still be hope for him. Maybe i'm being a bastard for saying it but... Even if it was his idea to write that letter, there is no way he personally wrote the letter. I think it had much more to do with the lawyers advising him to do so. Furthmore, I don't believe he deserves a second chance, I couldn't possibly care less that he screwed up his shot in the NFL. I was never drafted by the NFL, let alone 3 overall (3 right?) and i think i'll be okay long run...he can do the same thing after the NFL. Good luck to him, but I don't care if it goes well or if it goes bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There might still be hope for him. I saw a special on him where they showed the good things he did in his area... I think he is the classic case of too much money too quickly.... got caught up in the wrong lifestyle... this could be a wakeup call that saves his life and his career... lets hope it does... I hate to see anybody throw their life away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 yeah, you guys are right. I mean, clearly the guy has taken a huge step in the right direction by having his lawyers write a letter for him. Funny how this apology was nowhere to be seen before the guy was suspended. I'm amazed sometimes at how easily people are swayed by stuff like this.

I'm amazed sometimes at how easily people are swayed by stuff like this. I'm totally in your camp on this although I hope were both wrong. I'm sorry but it also crossed my mind that he took out a page add so he wouldn't have to say the words. His lawyer would say them while peanut butter would have been put on the roof of Pacmans mouth so he'd look like he's saying the words. Mr Ed in the modern time.

Green DNA Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 There's no way he wrote this letter because there are no spelling errors. This is a classic save your ass damage control maneuver. He must have realized that Wendy's drive-thru doesn't pay the same kind of coin as the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't feel one ounce of sadness for him losing his 'right' to play in the NFL. Like someone said, Wendy's is probably hiring in his area.

AFJF Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 The guy has had almost a dozen incidents that required police involvement just since getting drafted. Luckily for him he benefits from living in a society that is obsessed with forgiveness because it makes people feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

He'll never park cars for a living. He'll be embraced by certain aspects of the community as a victim of society.

I really hope he can come around and make a positive difference in someone's life. I would think it was prompted by the spin doctors. That being said; I've heard that he's really not that bad a person but he's been hangin with the wrong homies and letting them influence him too much. Like we say back home "garbage attracts flys" . Hopefully this suspension will be a wake up call for him. It'd better be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetophile Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 His lawyer must be a good writer. HAH, precisely. "Walk this way!" "No, this way!" For all you 'Young Frankenstein' fans, the analogy is clear. OK, I'm coming off the worst migraine in recent memory, but it makes sense to me in my woozy haze just the same. Abby Normal.
