What bothers me about Joe, is one, I don't respect anyone that lives in the closet and marrys a beard. But thats another thread.
What bothers me is that although it is not his responsiblilty to take care of his athletes that have fallen on bad times, why not do it out of the goodness of his heart. To hear stories like Mike Menter and Rod Koonts, down on their luck with drug problems or homeless. Its like send out a car, pick these guys up and help em out. Jeez, whats so hard about helping the guys that helped you. Yea he doesn't owe them anything but what about just doing it because its the right thing to do. So maybe he has grudges against some of theses athletes because they posed for another magazine or tried to make money on their own. Big deal, get over it. These guys are kids to him and he should be more like a dad and be forgiving and help them out. How can he live with himself knowing so many of these guys in his mags ended up with nothing?
..totally agree with that. whether his boys need med insurance/health care, or to be rescued from dire straits, joe doesn't do shit for them.
...but, he sure made a ton of money off of their images! man, that isn't right!
joe gave these guys "opportunities," so to speak, but without these guys, he wouldn't have had his empire.
what about flex, or matarazzo? do you think joe wired them the funds to take care of their health needs?
these are the "superstars" that kept him rich! why couldn't he help them out?
...i guess if you're to ill to do a reach around he wants no part of ya'!
