Adam LaRoche and his son

When do Adam and Drake appear on Duck Dynasty?

 

Adam already has his own hunting show.

They forced him?

 

Duck Dynasty is "The Show." Buck Commander is an independent league in flyover country.

 

Dick:

Oh I think Kenny acted out of his own self interests, pure and simple. And it looks like he played people off each other. He's an asshole.

But the end result, for me, was satisfying.

As a mother, my heart goes out to the kid, first and foremost. I do a little charity work with kids in Africa, and it's funny how my gut feeling about Drake was the exact same as my gut feeling about them-- They deserve a shot at an education.

It's just a crazy contrast-- They're being denied because they live in abject poverty.

Drake's got millions, but he's being denied because of his weird, misguided ADHD father.

 

You don't always get your way in life. It's a good lesson for a kid to learn first-hand.

 

Pretty similar jobs you two have, I'm sure!

 

I thought Adam was OK, but his little brother Andy got a little too Hollywood before his time in juco.

 

As a father, sure I'd love to spend as much time as I can with my two boys but there are two big concepts here IMHO:

1. kid needs to concentrate on academics, hanging out at a ballpark is not an adequate substitute; and
2. the clubhouse is a place of work; not just yours Adam, but your teammates' as well, you need to treat it accordingly.

The occasional visit is fine, but the kid should not have the right, nor expectation, to be there at will.

 

This is, again, not at issue. The White Sox haven't put it at issue. The sports writers who have written gleefully about the awesomeness of Drake LaRoche for 12 damned seasons never put it at issue.

Adam LaRoche decides how to raise his kid. No one else. That's not what this is about, except to moralizing sports writers.

 

But the kid does have the right.

Every team allows it. LaRoche just took greater advantage of the right than most.

 

I'd agree generally, but someone above asked for opinions from fathers, so I did so. (I thought I read someone quoted LaRoche as "we're not too big into academics.)
