Why? Was it all the humanitarian work he did during that time he was playing a sport while getting his school and meals paid for?

I'm a former player, but I don't condone the free passes for being a Tiger when it comes to moral responsibilities.

this this this

Look I get wanting to help a human being in need, but the "he's a tiger damnit!" so he's entitled to help over others type posts are just stupid. He's not a war vet or someone who selflessly devoted his time, he got a scholarship to play football, received a degree, and got a shot in the NFL.

Do these people on their high horse scream for action to be taken about all alumni who fall on hard times or just the ones you remember from football? Why don't you care about the other people named in that article who clearly need help? They didn't play football so tough shite?

good grief, can you read?

I said he should get the benefit of the doubt as a former Tiger and you're talking about condoning free passes....

is it really too much to ask that we as LSU fans assume the best instead of the worst about our own?

It's a very sad situation when a young man, through hard work and dedication, has set himself up with great deal of opportunity, and somehow loses it all. I don't know if it was by his hand or others, either way, it's still a damn shame and I can't imagine what is gained by anyone to have LSU people beat our own when they're down (unless it's Curly Hallman).

you really going to argue against my position that we, as LSU 'fans', should give LSU players the benefit of the doubt
