Just saw this story on the front of Yahoo - I never realized that TCU lineman Barrett Robbins has been locked up for the last 7 years. He is the one who dissappeared the day before the OAK-TB Super Bowl and who I believe was in some bar fights in Ft Worth back in the day.

Sad, sad story:

At least he got some help - unlike McKinley of the Broncos.

I hope he can get it together someday and become productive.

There is pain in all of us. How we choose to compartmentalize it, and what vent system we use often is the end result of our mental health.
