Gloomy topic I know, Mike Flanagan is a tough one. Finances got him.

He signed my ball in 1996 I believe it was. True fucking story.

Rick Berry

I rate him a 5.6 on a 10 point shrink scale

Donnie Moore might be the worst I can think of... 7.7 shrinks


I still believe that Roberto Clemente killed himself and those in that plane.... early terrorist....

after that many years of living in the Oakland neighborhood..... its just too much

he got exactly 3,000 hits and said.... that's all for now... see ya

Shrink rating scale. Very nice touch indeed.

all the damn Von Erich wrasslers...

what the fuck was their problems?????

attention whores is my guess


5.7 shrinks..... would be about a 7, because they get a 2 bonus for having a three of a kind hand in that family. but a big deduction for being lame non people wrasslers

Oh Moore was fucked up nice one. I remember that Henderson homer that ruined him.

Guy couldn't handle the pressure. Give me the millions and have people boo everywhere I go, I'll be Ok thanks.

shrink scale

Fuuuuuuck.

Depression is a huge issue for all these retired athletes, especially those with zero ambition outside of sports.

can we start a former/current player death pool?

I got Rodman, Milton Bradley, and let me think on my 3rd pick

 

[stevek173]

If we do I'm in. Don't know my 3 yet will require research.

I'll take Artest. Behind Meta World Peace and all those fake smiles is some serious darkness.

Donnie Moore is a good one

there were lots of former steelers that suffered dimentia and depression and did crimes... can't remember if any killed themselves..

I know one of them got shot by police.... not sure if he died from the police assisted suicide or not, i'll have to look it up...

I think it was justin strelzyk... (sp?)

Mike Webster was a hall of famer and homeless most of his post playing days

agreed it is a hugh problem...

that bear Duerson or whatever, alot of people in Chicago are still kinda shook up over that one

guy was a hugh fan favorite... he had a big beard, wore jeans, camo, and big plaid hunting shirts pretty much all the time....

Terry Long is the Steeler to off himself... He was like the strongest nfl player in the league for awhile

steroids and too many hits did these guy's brains in....

Terry did the deed by drinking antifreeze, which brings him in at a new high 8.3 matty shrinks
