And some the cause of death not revealed. I wonder if some of the contact restrictions in NJ stemmed in part from this - not saying that is the cause, but might be their concern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFORDGAWOLVES Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 We've had our share of tragedies... sad and unfortunate. In regards to the injuries, concussions... protocols are in place. I think it's just a "perfect storm" for this to happen and nothing beyond that. Sincere regards, BGW 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AztecPadre Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 That's a lot of tragic deaths. Way too young. I'm wondering if the ones that were not made public, were also opioid related. I have scene some documentaries on the crisis and it seems like the east coast has been hit the hardest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJR89 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 overall the opioid crisis is very bad in NJ....particularly in the suburbs.....do not want to speculate on how these young men passed but at SJR we have two that I can think of...and one was suicide from an opioid addiction....the only common denominator was all of them were high level football players that went on to play in college. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJR 04 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Reading this article felt like torture. I really can't begin to imagine what it must feel like for a parent to find their kid dead of overdose, or to blame myself for pushing my child to hard. I truly wish these parents peace of mind. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has hit every community. I just buried a friend of mine few months ago. Had his problems with drugs and overdosed. Buried my cousin at 26 of an overdose.

Nolebull813 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 You know there are powerful people pulling the strings because if any other thing in the world was killing people at the rate opioids do, it would be banned a long time ago. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFORDGAWOLVES Posted July 14, 2019 Report Share Posted July 14, 2019 I'm gonna say something... read carefully, it ain't hard to figure out... Are you with me? These high profile HS programs(& coaches) and these driven families are a big part of the problem. These players are landing at the college level with overuse injuries. The players that are drafted or make a team are injured and have incorrect bio-mechanics which leads to collateral injuries. It is magnified in basketball due to the sports demands on the body. So there, is part of the issue. Regards, BGW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfaddict1 Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 https://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/20/sports/20iht-doping20.10225773.html Not picking on Allen or TX or NJ and frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a click in every powerhouse school we discuss on the forum that abuses in some form, whether it's the state of WA, NE or FL. At what cost is a valid question. Saying some students had no problems and it's bs is like someone saying they used Fentanyl successfully a handful of times and had no problems. Are we to believe that pain only began in the kids college years with using pills and shots? Was there easier access at some schools vs. others and was the drive to succeed and please the staff (i.e, playing through pain at a premium at some schools vs others or even hiding an injury). If STA looks like pussies tackling robots and limiting physical tackling preseason and during the season, which may affect their W's and L's so be it. Parents are in good hands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golfaddict1 Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 There was a wicked pill mill clinic scam going on in FL for years... many "patients" came in for selling purposes (and many came from out of state to do so back home). Scripts were "flying" until the corruption was stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had clowns like @BigCox bragging about DBP putting opposing players in body bags and having them taken off on stretchers. That article wreaked of passing the buck and a purposeful attempt by family and coaches to look the other way and pretend that nothing is wrong.

Disgraceful. Do you hold every program responsible for players who have died? Just curious You hold DBP responsible for 2 former players who died in a car accident? Again just curious.
