maurice clarett is not :"sad''

He is willfully stupid, pathetic and scary. He has taken gifts that the rest of us would love to have and flushed them. He has been a jerk every step of the way, beginning the day in arizona when, 3 days before the biggest game of his team's season -- and for many of those guys, the biggest day of their lives -- he whined about not being allowed to attend a friend's funeral. He said Jim Tressel knew about his free car, he became a menace to society. He was given a chance by the Broncos and blew it. He chose all this. There is nothing even remotely sad about Maurice Clarett. What's sad is that we persist in believing it's sad.
