Never heard of celebrities and athletes going to rehab for 'addictions' that aren't really addiction?

It's a PR move, IMO.

he's a millionaire celebrity?

he's a professional athlete?

he's neither?

He aspires to be one.

The Honey Badger's father, Tyrone Mathieu, tells FOX 8 Sports that he and Tyrann agree -- until he conquers his demons, he won't be successful at his future endeavors, wherever they unfold. The senior Mathieu says both Tyrann and his family are committed to restoring Tyrann's health, no matter what it takes, believing football will take care of itself down the road.

So, I think it's a PR move because he thinks it will help him salvage whatever career he may have left.
I think that's more likely than him being so addicted to pot that he needs rehab.

I smoked pot every day for 10 years. My wife got pregnant and I had to get a job with benefits and they did random drug tests so I had to quit. It wasn't easy quitting. Not as hard as cigarettes but it wasn't easy...

I think his Dad is an ultra-religious Bible Belt guy who is making him go to save his soul. I really don't think it's about PR but you never know.

:rolleyes:

He's an aspiring professional athlete. A highly successful one who was a Heisman runner-up last year. Previous Heisman candidates/winners who returned to school took out insurance policies against their future potential earnings/worth.

His image and reputation will highly affect his draft position which will directly affect his earning potential.

This is a PR move.

This is just a ploy to get him back on the LSU team.

Watch...in two weeks you'll start hearing words like "amazing recovery" and "miraculous change in attitude".

Then before you know it...BAM! On the field against Auburn.

I wouldn't be shocked in the least to see him back by week 2 or 3. It's just the way things work with "superstar" players.

Do you guys not want to see the best players on the field?
