I remember watching a story about Todd Marinovich, and he expressed satisfaction about his first NFL victory, when the Raiders defeated the Giants. I hope he's doing well now. Thanks.
According to the latest article I referenced, which is from 2018. He was doing a lot better. He also supposedly has a book dropping in August. If so, I'll be reading and covering it here in the newsletter.
I will be interested to read/hear his book in August. (Nowadays I tend to listen to audiobooks while I'm driving, rather than sitting down to read an actual printed book.)
I agree with your warnings about how Marv Marinovich parented. Still, it's necessary for an adult person like Todd Marinovich now to take responsibility for his own life and the choices he made. Once we're grown up, it becomes a cop out for us to keep blaming our parents.
I will keep following your thoughts on this. Again, thank you.
In one aspect I agree with the fact that you want to take responsibilty. But I think in this case, it's a little bit nuanced. Yes Todd has to take responsibility for fixing his issues (which it seems he has done), but it's important to properly diagnose where the issues come from if you want to be able to adress them properly. So "blaming" your parents if it's actually their fault is not wrong in my opinion. The problem only comes if you expect them to fix it, that you have to do on your own.
