How lucky Cecil is to have someone like you to judge him, his thoughts, feelings and hopes. Maybe his words are honest, heartfelt, and born of experience, self-reflection and his spiritual condition. Stay Close-minded my friend


Will do!

Man I liked him so much. Glad he's got his life back together.

The guy needed a full time baby sitter in high school just to get him to LSU's campus.
So true... I remember reading that Collins even slept at the coaches house the nite before his high school game to make sure he would be there and stay out of trouble...

He will be back in prison or dead within two years of his release.

If Al Gore would have invented the internet about 10 years sooner, Deisel could have yanked at home and probably stayed out of jail. Nice that he doesnt hold a grudge against Al.

No telling how many times he got away with similar acts. Diesel's problem was he couldn't stop even after getting caught multiple times.

He must only be about 32 years old and hasn't taken a hit in 15 years...2013 comeback player of the year! He still has college eligibility left!

If you click the link to the actual Sun Sentinel article, there are some more interesting facts.. like has shed the nickname "diesel" and now is called "LSU".. and almost died from a chicken bone rupturing his esophagus.... also I seem to recall that Louisiana is on record as planning on picking him up after he is released to prosecute him here, but I could not find that anywhere, could be mistaken

Here are some things Collins gained in the past 13 years: A daughter, Zakayla, who was born from his former girlfriend a month into his sentence and wears his No. 34 at her youth softball games; a wife, Elena, whom he met when she and a friend visited another inmate; a 10-inch scar on his belly after a chicken bone ruptured his esophagus and nearly killed him; a tattoo on his left forearm that reads, "Only God Can Judge Me;" and the nickname "LSU,'' for the school he roots for and once played football.
