... and to add my perspective, the behavior I saw on the videos goes beyond the mischievous drinking of a teenager. IMHO only- Sam's got serious behavioral & addiction issues, and needs to take life altering measures. Returning to UD makes no sense to me (from his perspective) and is an unnecessary risk...and I'm not even aware of the specifics of his prior immature behavior some allude to on this Board that apparently had him on Archie's super secret double probation.
Again IMHO-the general public does not appreciate the challenges Sam is now going thru with what I can only imagine are serious issues.
Now add to this his underwhelming play, and the fact that I cannot erase from my mind that video of him (CBS?) at the X preseason game a couple years ago on the bench looking like a shell shocked victim of child abuse- OK that's my problem and I get that...
