What we know about the Blackmon situation (to borrow from Joe Pesci in JFK) is a mystery wrapped in a riddle inside an enigma.  We have enough to allow our suspicions and fears develop an opinion, but in truth we are all in the fog.  He is a little quirky.  Maybe isolation is how he copes.  Maybe he is so in the grip of addiction he is using/drinking daily.  We don't even know what he did.  I don't think it looks good from what those closer to the situation have said publicly, but this just needs to play out.  Would it be a sad waste of talent for him to let this consume him?  Yes.  But there is only one person who has control of his life.  Hope for the best.   That's all one can do.
