Maurice Clarett

I just read this article:

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2544230

It's about former Ohio State running back Maurice Clarett. I'm not here to judge or condemn him, merely make an observation. This kid had the world at his feet. He scored the winning rouchdown in the 2002 Fiesta Bowl and gave Ohio State the National Championship. The way he ran that season, he was on his way to a Heisman Trophy and a successful NFL career.

But something happened. Read the article. Somewhere along the way, he lost his focus, his perspective and decided that he should have whatever he wanted and...I don't know...that somehow he no longer had to work for it.

Apparently he didn't learn his lesson the first time he got in trouble.
