Good comment.

I want him to stay clean, (although a poster here says that's not even happening) and play good footy, to be an example of forgiveness and redemption.

I do however, have a sinking feeling that it will all go pear shaped for Ben.

I am more than happy to be wrong on that one of course.

It sure must be so darn hard though, to be so in the public eye, to have everyone pour over every aspect of your life. I guess that's the price of fame.

I wonder how I'd cope with that level of pressure and scrutiny?
