I'd have to think about former players, but I definitely know of a couple former coaches. :)

Maybe, but it seems like a man like Butch Jones can find a lesson in almost anyone's story so if that is what is happening, then I have no issue with getting a photo along with the lesson.

Yes he messed up, but He's a VFL and that makes him family in my book! What type of person would Butch be if, when he has the current players say family at the end of practice, he turned his back on players that messed up and made mistakes.

I see a couple things wrong with this picture...

1.) You need to get rid of AT&T
2.) I find it interesting that you have this picture saved

Jamal was a coke dealer? Or, did he send money back to the homies in atl and they chose to use it to buy dope? There is a big difference.........

That's a grand attitude as opposed to literally hunting or fishing for something negative to say or imply about someone who fell down but had the gumption to get back up.

Perhaps I'm too sensitive to this issue because of experience. And how it taught me how readily people are to cast judgment and basically be spiteful. I was once identified as a person who had committed a horrifying crime, I'd never do. Nevermind I was not only out of town but about 1,400 miles away in another state. But people I knew and some I was only acquainted with swiftly demonized me. Only when I flew back and saw I was being sought on TV did I even know about it. Long story short, plane fare, hotel receipts, and eyewitnesses who interacted with me quickly removed me as a suspect. Only two haters ever apologized for their rush to judgment and the disgusting things said and "I always knew he was no good, dangerous etc." So I try to be very slow at looking down my nose at people who actually did do something wrong and then turn themselves around. Now, the imbeciles who utterly refuse to learn from their trouble and insist on repeating it, I'd stay as far from them as possible. No sense in knowingly putting yourself or others in danger when such a twisted way of cognitive failure is blatantly evident. Or being associated with them.

I read after his jail stint that it was really a setup by some low level drug dealer trying to stay out of jail. For what Jamal was supposedly trying to do, he didn't have much jail time. I really don't think he was actively pursuing the ability to distribute drugs.

Jamal was a big time coke dealer but he paid his debt by spending time in prison. Everybody deserves a second chance but he will always have that "enigma" around him.

Lol. He is quite an enigma. That's why I call Jamal Lewis the Riddler.

So, are you agreeing with me, I'm confused. Glad things worked out for you.

Yes, I'm agreeing. I believe I said your attitude was grand. Then went on to explain why I, me, myself think so. I think the persons who claimed I was the culprit had a vendetta. I do know they ended in court themselves for a false police report and actual accessories to the crime. The haters who never apologized, last I ever bothered to pay attention, they lost a lot of credibility in town and several moved away. As for me, I TRY, really TRY to not be so fast to judge especially our players. I learned that much if not much else.


Peytons Forehead, little joke that has truth in it. You do, do cocaine. You'd be surprised that traces and sometimes a bit more is part of medicines and even some foods. If you ever went to a dentist for major care, you received it as a pain deadening agent. Or if excessive bleeding is occurring, it's applied to stop or restrict that.

good question Fade... UT has Goodrich,Stallworth and Little who have all drank and gotten behind the wheel and killed someone after they got to the NFL...but I've also heard them speak about their situations and counsel people on the bad decisions they made... but if they have shown contrition various times,I think it makes it easier,and you definitely don't want to turn your back on them... you would like to think you have people there to support you...and you could have them back to speak to the younger players and recruits,to give advice and such....some of those players are going to be in the NFL and will face the same pitfalls...now an Aaron Hernandez type situation is something else entirely...

I would agree with this.
