    Family hires famed attorney Rusty Hardin and implies that the drugs came from somebody with the Angels. The plot thickens.

    Hate to say it - but people knew from the jump. Have a hard time believing there wasn't evidence in the room. Maybe some people cleaned up after it went down before calling for help or what - but people knew.

    Moral to the story, folks: Sleep on your side. Choking on your own vomit is a horrible way to die.

    Agreed. I'll defer to folks who have written such stories before, but is this why the police report is being delayed?

    I wonder if Tommy John surgery leads to painkiller addiction.

    That was Scotland Yard's official statement on that death.

    And John Branch's book on Derek Boogaard is outstanding.

    I’m not one bit surprised by the Fentanyl.

    I personally know someone dead from it. Got mixed up using in Baltimore, and the person wound up being found dead in an abandoned building. And with no shoes, no phone, no wallet. Savage.

    Fentanyl should scare folks from using, especially from suspicious sources. It only takes a very small amount.

    Hell, go get a prescription for something instead. Use that.

    Don’t trust “friends” and “teammates”.

    If it did, we’d almost certainly have known it years ago in light of the frequency of TJ.
