I feel the dad thing is kind of a copout. DJ hasn't had problems. I think the worst thing that happened to him quite honestly was going to Florida. All of a sudden he's in a place where football is so big he gets in trouble and gets away with it. I think Urban Meyer's preaching and denial (which is a constant with that guy) didn't do him any favors. I think the NFL's drug testing program is a joke.
Has anybody ever heard Steve "Bruiser" Broussard talk about the NFL drug testing program? He said it was a complete joke. He knew exactly what day he was going to be tested every year, and he'd smoke weed all off-season, then he'd stop for the required time period to clear his system of all drugs (typically 2 weeks to pee clean). Then he'd take his pee test, go home and smoke a bowl, and continue it through the whole season. He said you just had to basically take a 2 week break from drugs and then you had 50 weeks to do whatever you wanted.
I think we're seeing what happens when everybody turns a blind eye. I realize that pot isn't addictive and this isn't about pot. But this guy obviously worked his way up the drug chain. I think it's fair to say that if a guy is smoking a lot of pot AND acting crazy, then chances are good he's picked up another habit (crack usually, meth, cocaine, but angel dust in this situation). Seems like somebody should have been watching closer. Even if they hired a private detective to see what their 40 million dollar investment was doing.
Basically he is not just immature... he's also a complete sociopath that feels he's untouchable. So he's a narcissist as well. If he beats this rap I'll be sick to my stomach. Odin Lloyd was no choir boy and should have stayed away from this guy, but he sure didn't deserve to die. It sickens me that he might skate.
