I quit the NFL when Ray Rice knocked the fuck out of his wife on that elevator. Jameis Winston, Ben Roethlisburger, Peyton Manning...naw, I’m cool on it all. They don’t care about anything but their bottom line. Players we know are abusive, crooks, criminals, rapists.....but hey, let’s keep filling seats and selling…

This line pushed me over the edge. Damn.

Beautiful piece, great writing on a truly sad & horrific subject. No one should ever have to go through this.

Don’t forget Cris Carter’s admonitions to always have a fall guy in your crew!

Last night 60 Minutes had a story about Tim Green, ex-NFLer and writer who’s battling ALS, and it was a little infuriating to see him say the cheers from the fans 20 or 30 years ago make it worth losing 20 years of his life now. He’s obviously free to believe whatever he wants, but it does so much damage to other…

He already has pain and injuries that will follow him for the rest of his life, many of which we won’t see for a few years. He may just have fewer of them, less severe, if he is lucky.

And Colts fans booed Andrew Luck for walking away.

This should be mandatory reading at the NFL rookie symposium, instead of having Antonio Cromartie telling them to use condoms and Adrian Petersen handing out his financial planner’s business card.

It truly is the long goodbye.  Thank you for sharing.

Same. This is heartbreaking and I am so grateful to her for sharing her story because it's goddamn important.

Good luck to you and Ron, Debra.

God, that line at the end. Crying at my desk. Thank you for writing and publishing this.

This is heartbreaking, but thank you for telling this story.  It’s important.

And the decision is final once you’ve executed it. If you take pills, someone can find you, you can puke them up, you have time to be saved. With a gun it’s just over.

I mean, it’s a reminder that letting civilians have handguns is a bad idea. Once you decide you are suicidal, taking others with you becomes just a fun bonus option. If you blame your ex, your boss, or society-at-large for your problems there’s really nothing stopping you.

It should go without saying that nothing of this scope would have likely been possible without firearms.

It should, but it never seems to.

Basically, gun owners will kill anybody, at any time, for any reason. And they do it so the rest of us know that guns are safe! It is so logical that we have a blog dedicated to telling stories of gun owners exercising their 2nd Amendment right to kill family members! Check out our cool blog to learn more about gun…

Dearest Mother,

I can’t breathe.

Ladies, beware. Apparently the OJ jury is now administering its so-called justice way outside California, and the she-asked-for-it defense is still largely successful — even in the digital age of overwhelming video evidence.

Well this is upsetting. I don’t understand how, after seeing this, any sexual conduct could have been consensual. How do you go from running away without your pants on, to “You know what, actually I do want to get down, don’t know what I was thinking running around yelling for help.” how could a jury not consider this…
