LOL... been a while since I posted here.... for some reason, I caught a bunch of crap a couple years back!
Don't know Brad's father, but blaming him for his son's decisions might be a tad misguided. While I've always taught mine to be responsible for his actions, and not to hang out with the wrong people, there comes a time when you can't blame your parents for how your life turns and twists!
Going to college on a football scholarship guarantees you nothing! If you don't graduate with a solid "Plan B", as in a solid degree, you gotta look in the mirror and admit you made big mistakes! Last fall, and this one as well, my son is taking 17 credit hours toward a degree in Civil Engineering. IF, and I know its a BIG IF, he does make it in the NFL, that will be great for him... If he doesn't, he's got a solid education and a quality degree to become a successful person and tax paying member of society!
I never had an ill thought toward Brad Wing, and I still don't. I wish him well in whatever he chooses to do with his life.

This is a great article on professional sports careers, how short they can be and how unprepared most athletes are for life after sports.
