Found this on AOL this morning. Thought it was pretty cool. Shows about 105 college football stars in their playing days and what they are doing now.

    I didn't look at all 214 profiles but of the ones I saw most of them are living decent lives, many connected with sports in some way
    mostly behind the scenes.

    There are some that have hit rock bottom but I don't think they want to profile them, they did have OJ Simpson of course and
    we know what that situation is right now.

    One thing I noticed is that winning the Heisman is no guarantee of a great NFL career, in fact there are many embarassing failures
    in that category.

    Guess you guys didn't make it to the Nebraska troika of Jason Peter, Lawrence Phillips and Thunder Collins. Not to mention Todd Marinovich, who apparently enjoyed rehab so much, he now works at a center.

    Or he wanted to help others out?

    No, I only got to around the #40 or so.

    So you've had this conversation with him before?? Since you seem to be answering these questions so positively, you and Todd must be great friends. Unless you have some sort of insider info, there's no way to tell if he is clean or not, or if that was his motive for becoming a lecturer at his recovery center.

    If I were to truthfully reply to this statement 100%, I would likely be banned because I have been involved in a situation like this and for such a general statement to be thrown out here, I find it horribly offensive. Instead, I'm just going to say that prejudging people is possibly one of the worst things you could ever do in your life.

    Probably sounds lame to you, but you certainly need some of the Aloha spirit ...... have a good day.

    Goot, you're an earnest young man. I realize that tongue-in-cheekness isn't always evident online, but I think most detached observers would see that I am not really serious in my suggestions that Marinovich either a) really loves rehab or b) is just looking for a place to score, and that poking fun at Marinovich is not the worst thing I have ever done in my life.

    And trust me, you don't have a monopoly on suicides, drug-related deaths, rehab stints, etc.

    Goot. You're getting yourself worked up over nothing here. 90% of the posts here are just tongue in cheek.
    I don't really believe that all Yankees and their fans are blowhard, self-centered, egotisitcal morons.
