Will they ever grow up?
[From Yahoo sports]
Former NFL rushing champion Ricky Williams tested positive again for marijuana last month, which will delay his return to the league until at least September, a person familiar with the case said Friday. Williams sought to end a one-year drug suspension last month when he asked to rejoin the Miami Dolphins.

Michael Vick has distanced himself from an alleged dog fighting operations.
The Atlanta Falcons quarterback refused today to discuss the case, and he has reportedly sold the house in Virginia that was the center of the dog fighting controversy.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell already met with Vick and could impose a suspension if it’s shown that he knew about dozens of mistreated dogs that allegedly were used for fighting.
The animals were found at a home owned by Vick in Smithfield, though he said previously that he rarely went to the house. He has had drug issues too.

[From me]
I dreamed of playing in the NFL but there wasn’t much need for a slow white cornerback. The pro athletes are given so much money it is amazing. They don’t know what to do with their fame and money. Josh Hancock of the St. Louis Cardinals was killed 2 weeks ago in a car accident. Turns out he was drunk and had marijuana in the SUV he was driving. Sad.
Will these athletes grow up and realize the privilege they have in playing pro sports? What a waste of talent.
What do you think?

The odd toke on a joint I can cope with quite happily, and have been known to indulge. But mistreating animals and driving under the influence are no-no’s.
Too much money and too much fame = living life like a spoiled brat.
That’s one of the reasons I much prefer college sports, but even those are being corrupted by the flood of money and the touch of fame.
