Derrick Thomas is dead because he was travelling at high speeds, during an ice storm, weaving in and out of traffic in his SUV and generally being an ignorant dick.
His asshat behavior killed his personal assistant Michael Tellus.
Instead of being inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame, he should be posthumously indicted on manslaughter charges for the death of Michael Tellus.
When the guy died, it was like Jesus himself had passed. I wondered why it was downplayed that he was driving like an ass in an ice storm and he killed someone else along with himslelf. Now, he's in the HOF. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteMe and a friend saw Derrick and Hank Williams Jr. doing blow in a bathroom at the Hyatt. Later that night we listened at Hank's door as he was banging 2 chicks.
ReplyDeleteAnd let's not forget the 7 kids with 5 moms... what a role model. Hey kids.... if you have athletic talent nothing else matters.
ReplyDeleteMeesha once commented on a post I did about Ike Turner, something along the lines of "seperating the persons contribution to music from the personal and ugly side of their private life". It was a good point, and it applies in this case. Thomas was a seed spreading irresponsible douche bag, but he was a great ball player. One doesnt alter the other I suppose.
