There is always at least one fool in every crowd. Thanks for making the fool in this particular crowd so easily identifiable.
No surprise, but sad.
Wow. You hope he suffered?
Sad. What was it Robin Williams said, “Cocaine is God’s way of telling you that you have too much money.”
His victims and their families are suffering.
Yup some forms of stupid can’t be fixed
Drugs and alcohol and then he gets the bright idea to go drive in this case a boat. Most folks aren’t doing any of that....suggesting that someone needs to get out more tells me you run in dangerous circles
Same goes for the hypocrisy of all those who did similar or even more stupid things when they were young.
You are encouraging, cheering, and promoting risky suicidal behavior? Man, you move up immediately to the top of my dead-pool team.
I never drank and drove
Most folks out there don’t behave that way whether you know that or not
I was referring to all those who DID drink and drive when they were around his age, and possibly worse, perhaps even still today, yet, acting holier than thou, pounced on him for doing it. ie, hypocrites
He was just working on his goof ball.
I don’t know what others stories are. I do know that fewer people did that than I thought from amongst people I know
Yup. The guy worked his butt off to become one of the best pitchers in the world. He could have had all the raw talent in the world, you aren’t performing at his level in MLB without tons of grueling work. Baseball at that level doesn’t allow it.
That said, he apparently had a hard time adjusting to the newfound wealth his efforts brought. There but for the grace of God go I, if I was somehow famous and wealthy at 24. I sure did enough dumb stuff without being famous and wealthy for sure. It could have ended up just as bad easily.

Our son has been a financial adviser for some very high profile athletes, almost all NFL,. An absolutely thankless job, in fact he hired an assistant to take “Monday morning calls” from these guys to cover weekend expenses, ranging from expensive new cars to posting bail for stepfathers. These were just kids thinking the big dollars were forever......so sad. No matter what he did to secure their future after football, it never worked.
“What a F’n moron. F’ him.
Hope he suffered.”
You really don’t mean that, right?
You’re a pig.
