Yes, he was football coach at West Texas A&M for the WT Buffaloes. Likely making about $70,000 a year or less, but its my understanding he wasn’t stupid with the money he did get while in the NFL. What he was stupid about was how he went about trying to keep his prescription drug habit going. After he fled Amarillo, the Randall County D.A. issued an arrest warrant on charges dealing with him breaking into a players house to steal Hydrocodone and replace it with Midol. No joke. He was arrested while trying to re-enter the U.S., in Seattle I believe, after his “rehab”. Plea bargained it down and did no prison time.
Football NEEDS fall/winter weather! That’s my theory, anyway. I lived in San Diego for two years back in the 80’s; that ‘72 degrees and sunny’ every d@mn day got old REAL fast, LOL!
I need cold weather. I need beautiful fall trees changing colors. I need a break from my garden for 4-6 months each year and the challenge of growing food in this climate. I need snow. I need hail. I need rain and torrential floods. I need tornadoes.
If you’re not battling the elements, what’s the point of living? ;)
Brain stem has nothing to do with behavior but could have a lot do with career.
Wow did not know any of that about him. I do know his fiancee while in San Diego, her father had something to do with investments. I do not know if they ever married. Thank you for this info. Unreal!!!
