I don't really see where any of his actions were crying for help. If anything, he acted in a way that made him appear very arrogant, nasty, temperamental, and ignorant. There are millions of people that had dreams that they never saw realized. Good hard working people that never even came close. This man blew SEVERAL unbelievable chances because of his terrible attitude and his inability to be a man and just roll with the punches. I am ashamed and saddened at these things, if they have indeed unfolded the way they've been reported. But my point was, that there is no one to blame but him. At some point and time, you have to stand up and claim some responsibility for your own life. Especially when the things that happen, happend because of decisions you made. I am sure that whomever raised him, taught him right from wrong. He chose to rob, carry guns, not go to practice, etc. . . Maybe he should have just listened to God, instead of all those people around him. He'll have plenty of free time to turn himself around now. Let's just pray that he does.

You bring up some very good points. In the end, it was Maurice Clarett that is to blame for the problems Maurice Clarett has had. My point was the there were people along the way that let him down. The Caterer in Youngstown that alledgedly was paying his bills, etc. The Car Dealer that gave him cars. Ohio State. Jim Tressel and Co. knew the type of person Clarett was and if it were me I would have had someone with him 24/7. I think he is a good person at heart, but some people need more help than others to avoid temptation. Thanks again, and check back often! TSG Thanks for the comment Brandy.
