@BleacherReport: Report: Josh Hamilton had a relapse that involved “at least cocaine” http://ble.ac/1EtgntT http://twitter.com/BleacherReport/status/570764627866484737/photo/1

 

 

Cocaine?  Again?  Forget baseball the guy needs help. He's the Josh Gordon of MLB.

I think it's clear by the declining connection of bat on ball and the ever expanding strike out numbers the last two years that the baseball career is dwindling. What is it with pro's named Josh? Hamilton, Gordon, Brent. A lot of lapse in judgment. And relapse to.
Well just like Gordon, hope he gets life straight first and foremost cause theres a lot of it left if he does.

I hope he keeps it together. After reading his book, it gave me some insight into his particular situation and I hope he stays the course and doesn't fall back into what he has worked hard to overcome. He has been fun to watch on the baseball field but I could care less about him as a baseball player at this point, what I care about is seeing him do the right thing and take care of himself and his family while inspiring and helping others.

@SInow: Josh Hamilton's days with the Angels are close to an end http://on.si.com/1I4FPaJ (by @McCannSportsLaw) http://twitter.com/si_mlb/status/591718454559903744/photo/1

 

 

 

@Sullivan_Ranger: Rangers are close to trading for Josh Hamilton.... still a lot of legal work to be done... likely announced on Monday sources say

 

 

@JeffPassan: Sources: Josh Hamilton could be gone from Angels as soon as tonight. Resolution in place. Barring last-minute changes, he's gone.

I have nothing against Hamilton. Just curious why he is forgiven but everyone hated Michael Irvin. He had a little coke problem. Heck, Elvis Pressley died on a toilet with a needle in his arm. We put him on a stamp. Funny how our compassion is directed.

I just hope for his sake he gets his life back in order first and foremost.

      Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.

      I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.

      He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up.

      I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success.

      Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
