Regardless of whoever your team is it is sad that these guys throw away a once-in-many lifetime opportunities. And the chance to make more money than most of us will even begin to imagine.
If I was that stupid and getting paid that much money, I would hire a team of big guys to stop me from doing stupid things when I'm about to do them. That, though, would take the will to not do stupid things, which I believe he lacks.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Man, the Saints dodged a bullet on him. They were ready to draft him in the first round when the 49ers traded one spot ahead of them and selected him The Saints then took Ryan Ramsyck who was a Pro bowl tackle his rookie season.

I don't think it's really that sad. Sad is some guy in a wheelchair, or some guy who never even had a shot. He's had many shots.
FWIW, I have a friend that was arrested for Misdemeanor DV in Cali when bammer played in the Rose Bowl. My name was mentioned as someone familiar with the past between him and his now ex-wife, who is also a friend, and the detective from out there called me and my mind was blown by the seriousness (not that I don't take it serious) that they take this in Cali. All I can say is that if Foster is found guilty, he's f'ed. He'll have plenty of time to get a prison artist to cover his AU tattoo if it still exists.

These coaches at the D-1 schools have a heck of a time keeping these guys out of trouble. Most of the black kids come from single-parent homes in bad neighborhoods that are in severe moral decline. Then they are given free rides to represent the university. I'm to the point where I'd just rather see lesser athletes who are upstanding citizens. Stop rewarding scholarships for bad behavior.

I would too.....but it will never happen.
Coaches sealed this fate when they chose winning over character.
We can blame whomever we want, but it all comes back to us, and folks like us, does it not? Follow the money. Schools sign whatever coach that will win, who has to recruit players that will win, to get the TV dollars that come from advertisers that buy expensive ads because we're watching. What am I missing?
