DJK arrest for popping pills in his drug house...
- Thread starter SNEDDS3
- Start date
They took him in when he was like 10yrs old. His biological mom, as he put it, "kind of got overwhelmed with the process of life and I kind of became a distraction."
I mean, his story was like the story from Blind Side, you know? He grew up on the streets, stayed where he could, etc. He gets taken in by his good friend's family, gets a second chance, gets to play DI football...becomes that schools all time receiver...
But instead of heading to the pros, his life is headed in the opposite direction.
I was ready to give him the benefit of the doubt when they said "prescription drugs" since I wouldn't be suprised if a whole lot of college football players are hooked on painkillers. If that was the case he'd need some help and while I would have a bit of schadenfreude since he's a Hawk, I'd still be hoping for the best for him.
And I could care less if he was smoking pot, because while I don't do it myself, I could care less if someone else does.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug though. Plus why the hell would he admit to to officers that he had taken cocaine? He lost my sympathy when cocaine came into the picture.
Aside from all the pity for DJK and him throwing his opportunity away...he's a big boy, he knew he was engaged in illegal activity. Simple fact, like many pampered athletes, he thought he'd get away with it because he's likely never had to face consequences for anything.
Another thought....that Ferentz sure knows how to run a classy program over there in IC!!!!

Pot is one thing. Painkillers is another. But cocaine?! Really?!
I feel a tiny bit of sympathy for the guy, but not much.
I agree with you, he is certainly self destructive. By all accounts he was given many chances to do the right thing and make good choices. He chose not to do the right thing, he is to blame for his own problems. I simply have issues with people that take pleasure in sad situations like this based on their dislike for the school he attends. I also have a sneaking feeling that some of the people blasting this kid may have at one time or another indulged in an illegal substance themselves.
Actually, DJK's father is running the crackhouse and DJK had no knowledge of it. The NCAA has declared him eligible although he will not be making the flight to NY for the Heisman presentation.
If someone gets pushed off a cliff I feel sorry for them.
If someone chooses to jump off a cliff I don't feel sorry for them.
He chose to jump and enjoyed it until he got caught.
The guy was smoking weed, popping pills, and snorting crack cocaine. He even admitted to it. He was also on a full ride scholarship playing D-1 football. He was in the public's eye and he knew it. He got caught.
If he can do that, then people have the right to laugh at him and make fun of the situation. It's not like he was forced down and pills were shoved down his throat, a blunt was forced in his mouth, and somebody blew some cocaine powder in his face.
Iowa football has no discipline and that is Kirk's fault what an idiot, and DJK is the bigger idiot free ride at school and an NFL future gone all for drugs what a D-bag!!!
Funny thread on HN. Miller in complete denial and cover up until the story broke.
