One of my favorite Raiders
Alcoholism is no joke. I have several fanily members that stuggle and unfortunately none of them have been able to get sober. 6 months sober is already a HUGE step. Congratulations to you Darren and if you see this know that you having your health and making it this far makes me more proud than any on field accomplishments. I dont say that to belittle what youve done as a hog or in the pros but to highlight how great this is. Alcoholism can be so difficult and detrimental to the user and their family. Youve already done so much man stick with it and know you got a whole state pulling for you and your happiness
I can see that 80 yard TD run in Little Rock against LSU just like yesterday a thing of beauty man

He was robbed both years it's ridiculous. Best player in the country and because he was at Arkansas he didn't get what he deserved. He's the best I have seen and I am old.
Indeed
My two favorites

I just want to tell both of you it gets easier and easier until it completely becomes nothing. Trust me I had to restart my own life. Those so called friends were just drug and alcohol buddies and not really friends.
Prayers for both of you 🙏
Great interview!!!!!!!! 👍🏿👍🏿
Everyone has a monkey on their back, they cant handle. A mate, alcohol, food, meth, tobacco, etc. You HAVE to know your kryptonite, identify it, and avoid it.
