I remember reading the SI story years ago about the USC QB… Marinovich? I cannot remember for sure if that was his name. Some called him the Robo-QB or something like that? I remember reading how his dad just ruled his life and the kid basically cracked and became a stoner and never lived up to the hype.

Reading on Nico’s family I wonder how much more prevelant this might be than we think. I also wonder what other bigtime superstars would have been the biggest drama-producing nightmares for these programs to deal with.

Who do you remember that would have been a problem?
