This week, we talk about a man from an upstanding family, blessed with all the physical gifts to allow him to be an NFL star.

He also drives while on GHB & maybe other drugs, and is a little loose with his fists, around women! Stare at your physique in a mirror, tell everyone that your "hygiene is unbelievable", and go from a future hall of famer, to a "what could have been" in a mere 5 years with Da ..read more
