Players they've had on for this series thus far are:

MJD, Jimmy Smith, Willie Jackson, Donovin Darius, Natrone Means, Aaron Beasley and now Tylski.
recaps available here:  https://www.1010xl.com/category/daily-jaguars-blog/

Hard to see that as "promoting" Tylski.  Unwise choice to have on?  Sure.  Probably just the only former player they could get in this week to chat.

Here's an article from '06 about the abuse for those who don't recall:

https://www.news4jax.com/news/ex-jaguars...hild-abuse

The abuse was ugly, but Rich wasn't the primary abuser.  He spanked the daughter with a leather belt.  That was deemed excessive.  But, his wife sounds like she probably shouldn't ever be around children.  She ended up with a felony conviction after admitting to bending her fingers back so far that she broke bones, and left the poor girl with a deformed ring finger as a result.  She also shoved her down a flight of stairs, breaking her leg.  

I'm not sure if they're still married.  What he did was bad enough, but based on the wife's violence toward the child, there were clearly psychological issues there. It sounds like the girl was adopted by another family, and was making the adjusments to a more traditional family life, which I hope that continued.  

My guess is that he was raised in an environment similar to what he reflected for his daughter.  Hopefully, that pretrial intervention helped him work through his issues, and taught him a few things.  In court, he referred to it similar to the death of a child when she was removed from the house.  I'm wondering if his wife was thinking the same thing?
