If you put Brett Favres incident up with all the other ones you listed and didnt give names next to them, most people wuold find what he did just as offensive as MOST of the other incidents, but because of who he is and his "good guy" image he seems to get a free pass. If someone else wuld of done what he did with painkillers and wasnt exactly a liked person...ESPN and every other media outlet would of ran that story to death

#1 Wrong.
#2 "And wasn't exactly a liked person" Exactly....why do think he IS a "liked" person? Because he HASN'T cheated on his wife, He HASN'T raped anyone, He HASN'T had weapons charges of any kind. He has played for 4 teams, and there HASN'T been one that felt he needed babysat.

Being addicted to painkillers is on the same level as someone who smokes weed. they obtain it illegally and are doing it for personal pleasure. IMO it's nothing more than a personal issue.

My guess is if you really KNEW your neighbors, you might be surprised by how many have a history of DUI, experimentation with recreational drugs, taking advantage of a few women, a domestic incident or two....and those who have cheated on wives/gf's is almost not worth mentioning. Good people make mistakes....Pacman is probably the only name you listed that would worry me as a neighbor, well and maybe Plax just because if he's associating with people that he feels he needs a gun I'd be uncomfortable.

IMO, it's not, you have pain, you go to the doctor, he gives you something to ease the pain and you get addicted. I know nobody who has ever said, "I want to get addicted to Painkillers today".

Getting addicted to Cocaine, crack, weed, whatever is the users fault because he choose to try it in the first place. Getting addicted to prescription painkillers is not the users fault because he/she simply wanted relief from pain, and they get addicted.

BTW, waiting for an answer, new neighbor....Brett or Pacman?

Wrong? Haha lying to illegally obtain drugs and then abusing said drugs is on par with most of those things u listed. if this were anyone else youd be on their ass like white on rice saying how much of a thug ect they were. But you seem to be president of the Brett Favre fan club so he can do no wrong. Abusing prescription medication is EASILY worse than cheating on your wife sorry.one is illegal, one is immoral

^^^^ You'll have to excuse my friend....He's a little slow.

Listen here Rocket Scientist, Once you get addicted, THAT'S when the lying begins....AFTER you have been hooked, Still with me? Should I type slower? Cheating on your wife....(for Laker fans, this is commonly known as rape)....is a decision one makes solely upon his own selfish wants and needs.

You talked about Bretts child seeing most of this, What about Kobe's kids seeing daddy on TV buying Mommy a what....3 mill. dollar ring because daddy put Kobe Jr. in something he shouldn't have?

I'm the Pres. of the Brett Favre fan club? Seems to me you're the one defending all of the REAL trash in professional sports, not me.

Lol you really thinkg abusing prescription medication is worse then having an affair(which in all 3 of the cases, twice with big ben and once with Kobe, the charges were dropped) with a girl who just wants to fuck because you're famous? Gettin a lil ass while on the road isnt illegal unless you're paying for it. Sure its immoral, but honestly who cares? Buying drugs and lying to doctors to fuel your need for painkillers is a bit worse. And I bet if you made a poll and asked which is worse the answer would overwhelmingly be abusing drugs.


You have the nerve to put possession of weed on your list of things that athletes do that make them "trash" and then defend another athlete for using a heavily controlled carcotic that isnt needed. Make up your mind. Drug abuse is drug abuse. Both very illegal, and I dont care how you get addicted, doesnt make it any less disgraceful.

You forgot one part "Gettin a lil ass on the road isn't illegal unless you're paying for it....OR UNLESS YOU FORCE IT ON THE GIRL.

Go ahead and make the poll.

So, couldn't the same be said for sex addicts who cheat on their wives?
