Quote:Actually back when we selected Blackmon, I wanted Michael Floyd.  Mostly because I thought Blackmon wouldn't be available. But most people were saying Michael Floyd was an alcoholic.  And when I pointed out Blackmon's record... people said it was nothing to worry about.

 

I hope Blackmon comes out of it, but that's mostly because he's a Jag. 

I was one of the people to whom you refer.

 

All I knew is what was readily available in Google searches.

 

What I saw was Floyd, who had a long history of alcohol related issues, who almost got kicked off the team, and wound up staying in the Freshman dorm due to his alcohol related issue, and Blackmon, who had the one DUI coming from a Dallas Cowboys night game.

 

I got it wrong...as I often do.
