The little feller will be getting lead treatment before he makes 20 years old.

I had lunch 2 1/2 weeks ago with a close friend who is a retired Detroit school teacher. She had Jayru as a student in her grade school art class (don't get me going on grade school art classes) and recounted how he was such a friendly, out going and talented kid.

I told her that kids change, especially if they live in detroit, are raised by a single mother, and excell in a sport where all their private indiscretions are ignored simply because they are good athletes.

This punk literally threw away a fully paid college education with Michigan State and now any other college that may have given him the benefit of the doubt after that first offense, and all the doors that would have been opened to him after college even if he was only a second string quarterback.......

A lot of those kids end up in schools in places like Orchard lake to play sports and they take a lot of problems with them.

While I do think sports are important, they aren't so important that the rest of the kid should be ignored. It just creates bigger problems.

Back in the early 80s my sister had a run in with a Spartan basketball player at MSU who later went on to be an NBA star. He got a slap on the wrist for kicking her front door off its hinges and she was warned about rocking the boat.
