I think I mentioned it in this thread months ago, but here to reiterate that he needs to go to jail to clean his life up. He was at meneger rehab a few years back. Seen this disease too many times in my life.
Could of told yall this 10 years ago. Steve has always been ****ed up in the head. If he was on the Texans, Bob McNair wouldn't even allow him in the stadium.
Hopefully he keeps clean since he's supposed to be a part of that Big 3 league. It'd be sad if he doesn't get picked up by one of those teams either because of people worrying about his drinking and seriousness about making somewhat of a comeback.
Not really though. He closed countless games for us and the Magic in the 4th quarter. Our team was designed for Steve/Cat isolations on the wing. What drove me nuts was how passive he was in quarters 1-3. He could have been scoring 30 a night If he wasn't so unselfish trying to get Kelvin Cato and Mo Taylor the ball.
