I probably would've too if I thought I'd pissed away as much he almost did.

I'm happy he's doing well, but i honestly think he cost us a championship the season he got booted. That wil always suck.

It's tough he had to go through all that. Really puts football in perspective. I'm glad he got his second chance and is trying to help others.

Knowing his situation, I don't doubt it. He is my all time favorite Tiger and the most electric player I've ever seen in purple and gold. I hope Tyrann can continue to do things the right way and lead by example.

Awesome he's starting a foundation tackling that serious of an issue and one that's personal to him. I applaud all pro athletes that use their celebrity status and financial resources to give back to the community.

and frick that football season. this dude had some serious issues - if he succeeds in life then i'm more than happy to have lost a couple of football games. he's had enough pain for 2 lifetimes. the chances of a guy like that really turning it around are slim as frick.

Really a shame things got that bad for him. Glad to see he was able to get his shite together and turn it around and become successful in the NFL.

Everyone thinks about suicide when behind bars. It's a natural defense mechanism. You feel less trapped when you know you can just kill yourself. Speaking from personal experience

Do be honest, I thought about that too. I wasn't concerned if he lived or not.

I contemplated suicide watching Bama score on that last drive knowing Matthieu would have sniffed that swing pass out and stuffed it.

I didn't know he tore his ACL. Hope he can recover quickly
