Because he likes having women draped all over him? Yeah, my prayers are with him. :yawn:

Yeah...really....poor, poor fellow. So what he had a few beers, and had a night of enjoyment. BIG DEAL!

At least he isn't out running around doing steroids and lying about it. :eek:

Leave the poor kid alone...who doesn't like to enjoy a cold beer, and a hot woman to drink it with. :D

yeah this happened in January, actually it was already reported to Jon Daniels and the MLB Commitee a while ago, and Daniels is actually doing the right thing in getting him help instead of suspending him and putting him in full danger of completely relapsing.

The Wife thing, he has released a statement on how he was embarrassed and how he has made a mistake. It just goes to show you even after 3 years the temptation is still there.

I personally do not believe in addiction, because I think addicts are just weak minded people that use drugs and alcohol as an excuse to gain sympathy or not to deal with everyday hardships.

Is it a problem that he had a few drinks in January?? yeah it is to a certain level, because he does have an addiction/problem that he is trying to beat. Is it a huge deal like certain media outlets and MBs are making it out to be? No, because he did not go into a full relapse, he hasn't drank since January, and it never led to doing drugs like he had done in the past. He made a mistake and now he is paying for it.

If I think I can have one drink, I think I can have two, and then it snowballs to 10 or 12, Hamilton said. As soon as it happened, I called my support staff — Katie, the organization and MLB — and told them what happened. I was open and honest about it. People with an addiction can make a mistake.

The Rangers, who entered Saturday trailing the Angels by 3½ games in the AL West, have not discussed punitive measures in case there is a recurrence. But Daniels said Hamilton will not be taking a leave of absence.

That would be counterproductive, Daniels said. We knew that going in when we acquired Josh. We know the risks of dealing with someone with substance abuse problems. Ultimately, he's a grown man and he has to make his own decisions. Nobody's here to baby-sit him, but we should help him make the right decisions and help him get through this.

Perhaps you're both unaware of his crippling drug and alcohol addiction.

I said he kicked the horse- what more do you want me to say?

Or the fact that he's married.

Somebody call the morality police.

Sounds like Tweeder covered all the bases on this one.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
