Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted May 30, 2023 I guess I live a sheltered life but that equates to 58k euros per kilo of cocaine, or nearly 60 euros per gram. Is that right?! Prison might be the safest place for him at that sort of money. An idiot indeed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nexus_Canary 1,016 Posted May 31, 2023 If you want to break it down traditionally social dynamics would show footballers coming from the working class or uneducated hence they are more prone to making poor life decisions. This has deffinatly changed over the last 30 years however you get dumb people in every demographic. It's funnier looking at sportsmen and seeing the ones who are heavily educated. Eg. Chris Jericho real name Chris Irvine who is a wrestler and front man or Fozzy. He has a degree in journalism. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) It's a strange old world and some people who become rich and/or famous have a self-destruct button - politicians, media stars, sportsmen, musicians - something in them that says success and fame isn't enough for them and they push things too far. You don't have to be famous to be able to self destruct of course, but the bigger you are, the harder you fall!

Some of these kids have been poorly educated and or raised, suddenly find them selves with a boat load of money. NFL players seem to have a bad track record for speeding and drink driving. Didn't know Jericho trained as a journo, I think he made the right call doing wrestling and being a rock star! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah the less talented American Football players in college are often the smartest as they realise they might not make it and thus put more time into their studies. I think my favourite wrestler/education cross over is AEW's Luchasaurus having a Masters in Medieval Literature. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He got that degree because Jesse the body Ventura told him to get a back up plan in a chance meeting when Irvine was a teenager. Although Irvine says the journo skills have been really useful for his podcast and dealing with interviews etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hairy Canary 668 Posted May 31, 2023 5 minutes ago, TheDarkKnight said: He was face-to-face with who he thought were gangsters. He said why they wanted they wanted to hear. I'm sure you would've told them to go **** themselves and go all Nightman on their Russian mafia ****? Bottom lime. He didn't fix any matches and was cleared by a panel. *drops truth mic* If he had told the authorities what had happened when he way away and safe like, I would suggest, most people would have done, then his version of the meeting would have been totally plausible. As it was, keeping quiet about it until he was found out only results in speculation and conspiracy theories. You do know Scots aren’t all saints and would beating sportspeople don’t you?

I’m not sure anything aside from faith in Billy G’s ability and this mention of Higgins in the context of sporting scandals insinuates DK is completely unable to accept Scottish wrongdoing in sport?

SwearyCanary 1,179 Posted May 31, 2023 Also, Billy G had a much improved season, playing often in the best Brighton team in their history. It’s not beyond the realms of possibility that he is very good now is it? I didn’t rate him at city, but DKs knowledge of his earlier potential is showing through, despite a lot of laughing and abuse aimed his way. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, said what they wanted to hear. They wanted to hear HIS plans on how he could make 300,000 Euros disappear, bringing up specifics like a Spanish property. And he even corrected the "gangster" when he said "so you can only really miss once before people ask questions", "no, no, I can keep missing". He didn't fix any matches, but he wasn't "cleared by the panel". They banned him for six months. That's not "innocent" now, is it? Best pick that mic up and correct your mistakes old boy.
