... you'll know where this kid got a big part of his attitude. As a lifelong OSU fan I recall reading early articles in which she was interviewed and thinking brother, if this kid turns out all right it will be a miracle. Talk about spoiled -- she treated her son like a GOD. No reponsiblities, no consequences, he was perfect and infallable in very way no matter what, even as he disrupted his H.S. team with his whining and "me first" attitude.

What a sorry state of affairs. He could have been a great one and he simply self-destructed. A very troubled young man.
