Aren't there online rehab courses he could take so that he doesn't miss any time?

As long as aldon gets his head back! Thats all that matters. For himself first, and obvious added bonus for the team. He is a very young guy, and off the chart talents. It would be a f**king shame if he killed himself or someone else. Everyone makes mistakes. What defines a man imo is how the face adversity and come out on top!!

Well, yea, of course, but there has to be a way he can do that without missing any games.

what you are talking about is totally unimportant in my opinion.

alot of what ifs should have scared the hell out of aldon the other night, he could have been killed, the tree could have been a little girl on her bike. no, this time no slap on the wrist, no patting him on the head.

Take care of your own. That is what a family does. The addict, though, must want them help or it will never stick. Hell, it always remains a possibility that the kid have a slip in the future.

Doesn't mean a thing. Everyone is different.

Maybe this is not hot off the wire anymore, but SJPD changed their stmt to this: there was no marijuana in his car, but some prescription drugs.

Unsure if this means anything at this point, but for what it's worth.

I sure hope he gets the support he needs, even if it doesn't effect his play on the field. Clearly he has issues.

With that said, LT had a HOF career smoking crack the night before a game (at least that's what I remember hearing).

Actually, it DOES mean something. It means that if a guy really wants to get clean and fix himself, he probably can. Both things can be true at the same time. Yes, everybody is different, but yes, if anyone wants to change they can.
