Tennessee’s Erik Ainge motions to the crowd after defeating Wisconsin 21-17 during the Outback Bowl at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, FL.Where did that come from
Former University of Tennessee quarterback Erik Ainge was very forthcoming in his first-person account of his battles with drug addiction in this story on ESPN. Ainge apparently was downing painkillers by the handful – up to 25 at a time – during his senior season at UT.
Here’s the first paragraph to Ainge’s first-person account: I’m a drug addict. I was in denial for a long time, but that’s who I am. My addiction is with the hardest of hard drugs — heroin, cocaine and alcohol. During my days of using, I was a really bad drug addict. I would’ve made Charlie Sheen look like Miss Daisy.
Sweet Mother of Bonnaroo – Charlie Sheen look like Miss Daisy. Wow. OK, let’s also mention that Ainge has “Crazy White Boy” tattooed on his back – and he doesn’t remember getting that tattoo.
