I understand being hot headed on the field but what the hell was that? Call the cops, they do their job and you taunt and insult them?? I finally agree, he's nuts. Probably bipolar from the limited stuff released to the media. I can't imagine any team being desperate enough to take that risk. I guess when we drop 5 players in the fall for our rookie draft he'll be on my cut list. Right next to Jordan Reed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless they are gone to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Have to wonder where this is going to end up? It is almost without precedent as far as I can remember. He seems so removed from the world the rest of us live in but he has money to exist within whatever he thinks is reality. This all smacks of something that is not going to end well. He is never going to "come to his senses" and resume being one of the best wideouts in the NFL. That boat has sailed. But so long as the media gives him attention, he'll act out. I just hope he doesn't hurt anyone or himself. He seems that imbalanced. And as far as I have ever heard, he has no drug problem to blame his erratic behavior on. But you have to know that someone as rich and famous as him no doubt surrounds himself with enablers and sycophants. It's like watching a car skidding out of control, waiting to see what it hits.

True, but plenty of people that never had the opportunities he's had suffer thru that and worse. It bothers me that celebrities who hit rock bottom get all this attention while others (including many veterans) are ignored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn5033 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 When this crap started in the offseason with the raiders I was wondering if there is something wrong with him. Now the stuff he’s doing has me thinking he’s just a self absorbed a-hole. I don’t feel sorry for him, I feel bad for his kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when you are crazy you don't believe you're crazy, everyone else is crazy. That's why many with mental illness never get the necessary treatment. It has nothing to do with money.

Do you really believe that somebody who is a celebrity and has money doesn't have easier access to mental health providers than a homeless vet? I do not, and also read these other celebrities offering to help Delonte West, are they as willing to help the non celebrities, the poor, the homeless? Again I think not. One more thing, I still think some people do things to try and appear to have some form of mental illness simply to excuse their irrational behavior. For a while I thought that was the case with AB, not so sure not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has more to do with concurrent disorders, when you need help, it's often for more then 1 thing. But help is hard to get for concurrent issues, as it doesnt click nice neat boxes in mental health circles. They dont want to deal with an alcoholic who is suicidal, they want you to only have 1 issue at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
