re: Tyrann Mathieu contemplated suicide while behind bars.

I think it was the Washington game a couple of years ago at TS.

TM was sitting in the stands as a fan for about a half.

My wife and I had taken our sons to the game ... for our youngest (at the time), I think it was his first game.

At any rate, my kids loved the "Honey Badger" ... the videos (minus the commentary, of course) ... the play on the field by the "little guy."

A lot of folks were approaching TM to take photos and such, especially little children. I could not resist the urge to take one of my boys over there.

Even in the aftermath of getting kicked off the team, I thought that TM was very gracious to all of his fans, even the ones that he'd disappointed.


But, my family has always rooted for him....and, quite honestly, we've used his story as teaching points for a couple of things:

1) Don't do drugs. You'll ruin your life.

2) Be smart about whom you associate with. Know who your real friends are.

3) If you fall down ... be a man. Have some accountability and pride, and pick yourself back up. Keep moving forward.


I wish him all the best.

Not trying a fake field goal on 4th and 13 against Bama and taking the ball out of Mett's hands at the end of the game prevented us from winning a championship.

Its funny because people say if we would have ran the ball instead of passed it against Clemson we would have won. Funny how coaches make bad decisions when they don't go our way.
