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.

      If we don't extend him, there is no way another team would offer him more than a one year $10m prove it deal lol.

      He isn’t but looking at what those guys are getting paid, paying him what he’s making now wouldn’t have been terrible, they should have and still should be looking at pairing some guys with brown to form a pretty dominant d line

      The Bryce hate is nearly laughable.  He looked like garbage the first two games, but has really, really shown improvement and growth.  People who know football are taking notice.  Will Bryce ever be Arron Rodgers, Farvre, Manning or any other hotshot gunslinger?  No, but I think he is a smart football player who has survived a lot more than most other QB's would have after 2.5 years.  So long as this injury doesn't linger I think you will see legitimate growth over the next two years, with a big leap coming next season. Reich and Brown not working together, Duce causing trouble behind the scenes.  Starting WR's of Mingo and Chark.  No legitimate scheme for the OL.  Fitterer's general incompetence. An owner who was desperate for attention.  How did Zac Wilson, Mariota, Winston, Tribuski, Rosen, Lawarence, Fields, Jones, Pickett, and Richardson fair after 2.5 years?  We see what happens when the Texans have not given Stroud the support. The 2018 draft had great talent, they just needed to mature, hell we wasted two of the top three drafted that year.  Outside of Allen, Mahomes, Jackson, Burrow, or Drake Maye, I'm not sure I really would want any other 1st round QB drafted in the past 10 years? RELAX......  Bryce is our guy as we grow as a team.  The only other option I currently see is maybe a buy low draft pick on Drew Allar if he falls to the third round or lower. Bryce is going to be extended.  He won't get Prescott money which would benefit our team going forward.  A mid range extension like Darnold or Baker got may be just the thing this team needs to keep growing.
