He has been another low life loser for years. Never understood why people praised him so much. There are a hundred others waiting to take his place on the field.
He had skill and strength and power, he played well, probably understood the game even better than some coaches did. The story was not entirely one of vice, though it was of virtues misused.
In the bible we read the story of supernaturally strong Samson, who let a woman’s whining get to him in the end. His crowning heroic act ended up being a kamikaze act as well.
It is sad. We don’t live in rubber rooms, we can’t head off every possible vice.
This seems a textbook case of needing to get right with the Lord. The Lord allowed him to do as well as he had, but he has to put it all under the right management if he wants to head off a downfall. I pray that will happen.
