OT Johnny Football attempted suicide.

He was diagnosed with a mental illness when he was with Cleveland, not sure if it was bipolar or not.

Affluenza? It’s endemic in Yexas…

Even if it did happen, it was merely an attention-seeking publicity stunt like a great deal of them are anyway.

Really bad post

Really bad post

Not really we don't know the guy and he could just be seeking attention. So both sympathy and skepticism is warranted I think

I’m sorry but I have zero sympathy here. Dude got to play a kids game and made millions when he was already well off (correct me if I’m wrong but pretty sure I heard he’s loaded from the trust fund). Then boo hoo got an Oxy and coke monkey on his back? Oh poor him. How about he give me the $ he bilked off the Browns? I’ll get an Oxy and blow habit but I won’t stink up the Browns like he did. This reeks of a poor me /woe is me story. Oh he’s bi polar? Probably shouldn’t be doing coke then hmmm? You made your bed Mr. Football…then shat in it…now you get to lay in it.

Some people are dealt a better hand than others. But our culture often helps make gifted athletes beds. Young impressionable kid's mental states can altered because we don't hold them accountable for their behavior. We like their skill set more than their mind set.

I was in Houston, TX having dinner with my ex brother in law. I was wearing something Pats related and a Texas AM position coach came over to talk to me. He knew Bethel Johnson and Gerard Warren and he told me that he spoke with them now and then. Told them how lucky they were to get drafted by a team like NE and to have Super Bowl rings.

Anyway, Johnny had just been drafted by the Browns and the pre season was set to begin. So, I asked the AM coach about Johnny and if he thought that he would make in the NFL. He told me no, because Johnny came from big money and that he was surrounded by yes people that kissed his arse. He told me that Johnny rarely listened to anybody on the AM coaching staff.
