Sure, but to start commenting on something without looking at the source material (especially if you are part of the US govt) is something you should know better than. And then to start saying he’s “embellishing”? Cmon man
When the TITLE of the THREAD was "Darren Waller Played High and Drunk Against Wofford and a video link is provided it's usually a safe bet. I pointed out that he was suspended for that game and my contention was that
IF he said that then he was embellishing. That was and is a true statement. Since the mods were able to correct the thread title to accurately portray the comment from the video, my other point stands. No one is really bashing Waller, nor should they be.
DW wasted 3 1/2 of his seasons here at GT. He was one strike away from being booted from the team. Everyone knew what the issues were. He almost wasted all his talent through his substance abuse. Almost. He will forever be remembered at GT for how he finished. When Smelter went down, Waller stepped up. He was a difference maker in those last two games, and he parlayed that into a draft pick and a shot at an NFL career. Then, he attempted to throw that away as well. But fortunately for him, his immense talent bought him another chance. He has since taken that opportunity to shine, and for that I applaud him. I've always said it's not how you start but how you finish. Waller is proving that. But if he was bagging groceries for a living and staying sober, most here would only focus on the fact that he wasted his talent, not that he was finishing well. His staying sober is a win whether or not he ever plays another down of football.
