Jason,
Wow-what a book!!! I'm very proud of you for writing such a brutally honest account of all you went through!!
I'm sorry you had to go through such hell, but as they say, "Everything happens for a reason." I want you to know that you are my favorite Husker player, I even had to get a #55 Husker jersey back when you were playing!! I wish I could go to your book signing on
Saturday, but I have to work & live 2
hrs away. Good luck to you & Sarah &
God Bless You!! (Both Byron & Bob don't
know what the hell they are talking about!!)

Bob (or is it Mr. Perfect),
Please - instead of telling someone that they are "everything that is wrong with sports today", how about looking in the mirror and stepping up to some of your own mistakes. Have you ever donated your body to a sport? Have you dedicated years of your life to something you were passionate about while being under the microscope of thousands of people who watched your every move? Could you walk a mile in these shoes? Who are you to throw stones brother? The man with all the answers - please. Tom Osborne and the Nebraska football factory has failed no one. Tom opens doors and provides people with opportunities. It's the person walking through those doors that needs to accept the responsibilities that come with the opportunities. It's my understanding that the only thing that is ever promised is an opportunity to perform in front of thousands of passionate fans and to get an education while doing so. If you had that offered to you, and the talent to back it up wouldn't you jump at it? Or would you hide in your little world because you were afraid of failure and people pointing their fingers at you saying, "you are everything that is wrong with sports today". And as far as poetic justice, that would be instead of you throwing rocks, you tossed a boomerang or ten - and they came back and knocked some sense into you.

You obviously do not know a thing about what these kids go through every single day, just to get a chance to play football. And until you walk in someone else's shoes you really have should not be quite so quick to judge. You have my pity for being so narrow-minded.

Jason, you are everything that is wrong with sports today. A gifted athelete who expected everything to be handed to him even when you were letting your team and organization down. Tom Osborne and the Nebraska football factory once again has failed another person. No consequences for your actions while at NU did not go far to prepare you for life after college or after football. You are a scumbag. Tom Osborne sold his sole to win a champioship with players like you. Its no wonder that eveybody outside of Nebraska is enjoying the fact that Nebraksa football has fallen of the college football map. Its poetic justice!

As an addict with eighteen years clean, I am always reading about others on this journey. Ordered your book for our library so students always have info available. Glad you made it, whatever works for you is my take on recovery. We're all different and we're all responsible for ourselves.

Wow Byron....you a Lou Holtz homer or what? You can stand up for him all you want but that doesn't change the fact that he didn't have the human decency to make a simple phone call to an 18-yr old kid who was going thru the worst experience of his life (full ride scholarship or not). What a chump. Jason has come clean with his mistakes which is an honorable thing. Let's see if Lou has the same kind of honor. I for one will not be holding my breath.

Hey Jason....shitty book...worse yet the comments about Lou Holtz...your brother got a full ride even though he couldn't play and you want to spiton Lou....Shame on you!!!! Your words mean about as much as Pam Anderson(now a hero for PETA) calling Jessica Simpson a whore because she eats meat...Nothing like a (I hope) ex-drug addict with a sex offending brother making comments about someone like Lou Holtz....get over it pal and move on...spit on him someday....I'll find you and spit on you!!
