re: TM7 will remain at drug rehab center (in lieu of playing FB) for the near future

Takes a lot of courage to do what hes doing, ALOT

If he turns his life around, gets clean and then returns to LSU and is allowed to play next year it will be an amazing story. ESPN will be drooling for that story. That being said, most important thing is that the kid just gets his life in order. Good luck, Honey Badger.

You know what....frick LSU football. This kid, whether he's serious about it or not, is taking a road I never would have expected. He could enter the draft and get paid...or could play for a small school. He apparently elects to do. Neither...but rather to go. Somewhere to address his problem head on. How can anybody on Earth criticize him for this??? Hell, this is an incredibly mature and smart decision. If he can hld true,I now believe he should get a shot.

I do think this is awesome too. But don't get carried away, doctors, lawyers, whores and hookers. Drugs don't care. Just because someone stands to lose a family, millions of dollars or their life even means very little if anything with someone on a tear (not saying tyran is). It's going to be very tough for him, I have all the faith he can succeed, but he has been around so much negativity his whole life the odds are not very good.

I have been to many rehabs and behavior modifications. They never worked, when I had enough I quit. Clean for over five years. Sometimes it takes a perfect storm, I met an unbelievable women, got married and got put on the right medication that almost killed my cravings. I get real sad when I see the poor, or young hoods with nothing. No role models around and no one to take care of them. They don't tand a chance for the most part. Tyran has more then enough support but that never determines the it come. It does help though.
