Here is my take. First, great show by JJ today. Hearing from someone in the sports radio world that is in recovery sheds a lot of light for the rest of folks that don't understand the power and fury of addiction.
Now, my take on Kravitz. I'm an Indy local and read his work all the time. He's a hack. Has been for years. He is privately probably laughing his ass off at Irsay's troubles. They claim to be close...right. During the Peyton Manning saga that unfolded when the Super Bowl was in town there was quite a feud between the two. So I take what he writes with a grain of salt.
Now, on to Pat McAfee. To put it simply, he was a 2nd year player at the time, went out as many 23 year olds do, and got too drunk. Ended up swimming in the canal in Broad Ripple on a dare. Got busted for PI, suspended one game, and apologized in his own words (not some prepared statement). I'm sure most of us did pretty dumb things in our 20s. And he hasn't had an issue since. Since then he has become favorite around town. He does a lot of charity work, has his own radio show during the season, and is seen as a pretty likable guy and good dude. He also doesn't have a noted history of drug/alcohol abuse, so it's really an apples to oranges comparison.
Kravitz shills to the lowest common denominator. Occasionally he will write some good stuff, but most of it is typical modern day crap journalism. That said, the two incidents were night and day different in nature. McAffee was a kid having a bit too much and acting like a typical 20 something. Irsay is 54, and has battled addiction in the past.
Just my two cents, as I live here and have a more local take on things.
