"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

Got busted for DUI a few months after the 2004 olympics.

(Drunk driving really, really irritates me because it puts so many others at risk.)
Somehow NBC missed that part this time around. You'd think the "liberal media" would jump at a chance to tell a story of redemption of a kid who came from a single-parent home to regain the glory after making such a mistake.

I saw it mentioned with Bob Costas as he interviewed the coach.Dayons_Den wrote: Got busted for DUI a few months after the 2004 olympics. He was driving drunk... alone.

Matt Lauer mentioned it one morning on TODAY while interviewing Phelps after his 8 gold performance.

Man the way you talk MACMAN i get the impression you never made a mistake got a second chance, and your making millions being a professional athlete. Bet you wouldn't say half the things on here to anyone's face. I would pay to see AT knock the crap out of you.MACMAN wrote:SAy what you want, but truth is screw ups have no place in sport, or getting a "free ride" One and done.Bleeding Orange wrote:Maybe I was drunk...well, okay I was and am...but didn't AT come back and play later in the game? I realize that the guys doing to the commentary for Boise were, well...special, but they did mention him being in a couple of plays in the fourth quarter.
Either way, I hope that he is alright. We are definitely a different team with him on the field, and he has been a model of "team first" ever since his troubles a couple of years ago. Quite frankly, he's made MACMAN look like more of an ass than usual (yeah, I haven't forgotten all of that).
I am sorry he is injured, I wouldnt wish that upon anyone and truely hope he did not tear anything in his shoulder, as there are only short term fixes for that only you to play but live your life in pain....but lets not forgethe knows how treat pain...right.

That would be another testimony to HIS character, and judgment..
I say again and I do say it anyones face, I dont hide behind my monitor, I am who I am. People who are killed by Drunk drivers, and those who use do not get second chances, so why should the criminal, with out real consequence for ones actions there is no reason for a person to weigh them before acting. The gross distribution of handing out 2nd chances has become the norm, not the exception. Read yourselves on here, you all think all this crap is ok. there are no accidents in life, only mistakes that could have been prevented with better judgment.
As for extreme errors in judgment, damn right Ive made them, got numerous second chances to prove it, and paid dearly for others, both of which have shaped my opinon on this.
