Hero of the Underground: Jason Peter

[Monday Night Shyamalan]

For you Huddlers that read (which is probably 3% of you), has anyone read Jason Peters (Panthers 1st round pick in 1998) memoir Hero of the Underground: My Journey Down To Heroin & Back? 

 

Though I have not yet finished, so far the book is very riveting, explicit, and somewhat depressing. An interesting peek into the personal demons of a professional athlete (similar to the Chris Herren story of the Boston Celtics.) Bummer that Jason never panned out for us, but so far I have an odd, new-found respect for the man.

 

*It's the offseason, I thought now would be a good time to bring this up out of curiosity.

that Chris Herron 30 for 30 is one of the strongest, emotional sports documentaries I have ever seen. it's certainly one of the best 30/30.

Agreed - I can't believe how good he was after shooting up heroin 15 minutes before the game. Powerful stuff.

I read this book about 5 years ago and had forgotten about it. Good book, powerful crazy poo. Read it.

The odds are so incredibly small that one will have the genetics, luck, environment, and ambition to play in the NFL that youll excuse me while I fugging laugh at anyone that blows that shot.
