tOSU five star QB in trouble- again

[Nitt1300]

INDIANAPOLIS -- Former Colts quarterback Art Schlichter was found unresponsive at an Ohio Hampton Inn in June -- less than a year after he was released from prison for federal fraud charges related to a massive ticket scheme that bilked millions of dollars from his victims.

Inside Schlichter's hotel room, officers found a substance they believed to be cocaine.

According to court documents, police responded to a report of an overdose at the Hampton Inn on Lyman Drive in Hilliard, Ohio. Officers could not get Schlichter, 62, to respond.

He was resuscitated with the help of Narcan, a nasal spray used for the treatment of a known or suspected opioid overdose that includes signs of breathing problems. Schlichter was then taken to the hospital.

I feel most for his family. The poor guy has a sickness. I can recall back in '78 when we played out there and coach figured Rod Gerald (Who beat us twice) would be the starter. Then, Gerald moved to split end and Schlichter came running onto the field. Their crowd went nuts. It was the most noise they made all day... 19-0 and it wasn't that close!

Yeah, four field goals. Paterno knew from the opening kickoff that he had it in the bag. Edit: So did everyone else.

I remember that game- he was supposed to be the best QB they had ever seen. His demons destroyed him.

That's BS though when you order coke and get dope instead. WTF? That's worse than when they put mustard and pickles on my cheeseburger!

The service industry has gone right down the crapper these days.

Saw that article yesterday. The way some people are hell bent on destroying themselves. He also managed to get one of his attorneys in trouble....

The tragic life of lawyer who smuggled cell phone into jail for Art Schlichter

Linda Wagoner was the public defender for ex-Colts quarterback Schlichter and his gambling-related charges. Then, her life went on a downward spiral.

That’s what I was thinking. A compelling story, but some little things don’t add up. She was a public defender but holding out hope for a judgeship? Did she have drinking problems before she met Schlicther? No matter, he surely did have a big role in her unhappiness.

because Art had it in the bag

Just putting this out here: the late writer Hunter S. Thompson tried every drug know to man. When he died someone asked his son which was the worst drug for his father. “Alcohol.” If you’ve had the experience of being close to someone with a severe drinking problem, you’d agree.

The coke was laced with fentanyl.

I’ve mentioned here before I am in long term drug/alcohol recovery (15+ years one day at a time).

Stories like this are heart breaking but exist in every town in every country in the world. Below is the preamble from The Big Book of AA, it describes these two people perfectly….

Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path. Those who do not recover are people who cannot or will not completely give themselves to this simple program, usually men and women who are constitutionally incapable of being honest with themselves. There are such unfortunates. They are not at fault; they seem to have been born that way. They are naturally incapable of grasping and developing a manner of living which demands rigorous honesty. Their chances are less than average. There are those, too, who suffer from grave emotional and mental disorders, but many of them do recover if they have the capacity to be honest.

 

[Lion84]

Even Ryan Leaf got his sh#t together but Art will end up dead or a lifer in prison it seems.

The media doesn't like to use the word fentanyl.

Who had Ryan Leaf outliving Junior Seau?

 

[Nitt1300]

Yet we see and hear it daily, it seems

 

[91Joe95]

Yet we see and hear it daily, it seems

And yet they edited it out. Even for the media it's hard to completely ignore the #1 killer of young people in the US, a poison that kills 100K per year, but that doesn't keep them from downplaying or ignoring it at every opportunity. Hell, Chinese financiers and South American gangs have had so much success and feel so emboldened they've started making it to look like candy.

Lock that junkie up and throw away the key

Annual Prison Costs a Huge Part of State and Federal Budgets - IJ

The conversation around justice reform centers unfair sentencing and rehabilitation programs, but annual prison costs remain a problem.

interrogatingjustice.org

Depending on the state we spend $15 to 70k per year on locking people up. a 15 year sentence can cost a million bucks. Those are your tax dollars. yes, some people need to be locked up. In terms of dollars and human life it is better to figure out a way to help these poor souls than lock them up and throw away the key.

Continue your recovery! Stay strong and dedicated.

I’ve watched this devastate someone near and dear. Addiction is horrible. We shouldn’t shun schlichter. Yes, maybe some bad choices but the root is an addiction. Ultimately, this is a very sad story
