  • The Johnny Manziel 30 for 30 10 years from now

    Redemption story or Maurice Clarrett the sequel? I'm leaning toward the latter.

    Looking more and more like epic implosion. Should make for a riveting tale.

        It's always sad to see how people squander the opportunities that life gives them. Any one of us would give their left testicle to be in a position to play a game for king's ransom.

          You see the quote from his Dad? He apparently said that if he doesn't get help he's not going to live to see his next birthday. That's about as dark as it gets.

            He already spent 2 and a half months in rehab.

            Him getting help won't mean squat if he continues to say fuck it after he leaves.
            John Erlichman, one of President Richard Nixon's closest aides, has admitted America's "War on Drugs" was a hoax designed to vilify and disrupt "the antiwar left and black people" when it was launched in 1971.

              He won't be around to see it.

                  More like Todd Marinovich, but even more of an epic crash.

                    The thing of it is, for someone to be helped, they need to want the help in the first place. And there is an ego barrier in some folks that just prevents them from realizing that they can't do it alone.

                    The fact that his agent just washed his hands of their association tells me a lot.

                      Sadly, he may not be. I hope he gets help.

                        He needs to start a few games for the Iggs next year.
                        500 internet fights, that's the number I figured when I first joined igglephans. 500 internet fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate internet-tough guy. You need them for experience, to develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then...after...you realize that's what you are.

                          I could not agree more. I'm glad you get it

                            Dead on comparison.
