Driving with 4 loaded guns, an open bottle of vodka, a hatchet eek , while wearing a bulletproof vest. omg that's hardcore.....what the hell was he doing with a fuckin' hatchet lol Who is he trying to be Jason Vorhees jr. lol No, but clearly his mind isn't in the right place. Maybe he just couldn't handle the pressure and turned to alcohol. Whatever it is, I hope he gets straightened out.

IMO, jail is the best place for him. It's obvious the young brotha never had discipline or guidance in his life.

Maurice Clarett is guilty of questionable judgement if anything.

HE started to believe his press clippings about his greatness (especially after his Ohio State Team screwed my Hurricanes...another story). He had a monster season as a freshman and decided to buck the system for whatever reasons, thinking he could get into the NFL. Needless to say, his payday never came.

There is personal responsibility too, but his tale in the 4 or so years since his last active/meaningful game mirrors that of too many young people that fall victim to "friends" that think they know what is best for these guys.

Just to think my favorite football team the Denver Broncos drafted this guy and he totally made up the fact that he had a hamstring injury that they found out wasn't real. I would have given up my left nut to play for the broncos, and this crackhead was making up excuses to get cut. I wonder if clarett was going to do a columbine type stunt or gonna blow up an airport and kill himself, it was after all the day before the whole terrorist thing went down in England. Conspiracy.

That shit isn't sad.

He created his own destiny. So yeah, I'm not sad for him one bit.

It's always f---d up when folks piss their talent away with self-destructive behavior. We've seen it with comedians, musicians and actors.

He's under going a mental health evaluation right now. I personally think that's best for him. I think he needs mental help before they just ship him off to jail.
