I feel bad for Rush. His comment on McNabb was true. He's totally overrated simply because he's a black quarterback, likewise with Eli Manning whos white. I don't think he should have lost his job at ESPN (And yes, he was forced to resign).
On the note of his drug addiction, I can relate. I have friends that are addicted to painkillers as well as narcotics. It's a nasty experience. Lorcet, Lortabs, Perkecet, Oxycotin, Morphine pills, Viks....they're all pretty shitty to deal with once you start taking them for a week or two. I almost had a hard time with Zanex.....the yellow bars. Those are almost the strongest Zanex they make ( these were bars, not footballs). I woke up one day after eating two yellow bars and snorting 3. I tried to remember what I did the previous 2 days, I couldn't tell you one thing I did in the prior 48 hrs. My cell phone had 27 missed messages. I had 3 new statues in my apartment that apparently I bought. I was missing 700$, there were bras lying around all through my apartment and all my food was eaten out of my fridge. Talk about being cracked out, I felt so ashamed. Should I have went to rehab? Maybe. Did I? No. How am I now? Drug free. What made me stop? The thought of my parents being disappointed in me and the cracked out feeling I had after the two days. Should Rush go to rehab? No. I think he's doing it to polish up his image. Its my opinion that if its someone will to stop, they can. Unless you're a heroin addict, you don't need rehab. On the other hand, doing certain drugs can cause people to get so depressed that they need some sort of outside help. I had a friend that was addicted to GHB and blew his brains out 1 1/2 months ago. The last time I talked to him was 3 months ago. I asked him how he was doing, he said he was going through some crapp and still addicted to GHB. I didn't think much of it. But he did seem a little depressed. I found out last month that he blew his brains out. I was overcomed with chills that lasted for a day. Drugs are just bad period, I don't care what people say or what I used to think. They're bad period. I had another friend of mine who died about a month earlier than my other friend. He OD'ed. The last time anyone saw him alive, he had a big Folgers coffee can of Cocaine and a bottle of Scotch that he was drinking straight. A few days later we found out he was dead. We all worked for him at the 4 clubs he owned in our college town. I'm just glad I chose to go another route than the drug route. I take my anger and pain out in the gym, I also let the massage lady relieve all my stress.
Anyways, I hope Rush makes it out ok. I'm sure he will.
