Mike, kids make mistakes and they will pay for it. The question will be can they learn from the mistakes that they made. I'm sure we want to back these kids and give them all the resources that are available to them out there. Is it necessary for you to put these kids out there again for blog comments? Did we put out your former partner on the varsity letters to post comments? I don't want to put his name out there we have moved on from that. Let the kids move on I'm sure there is enough people hurting over this.
I know it is news Mike but lets try something different why don't you go and help these athletes that get into trouble. Step up Mike and show us how you can be a player in these kids road to recovery. Instead of throwing them out there for public comment.
Or maybe just remove the blog!
I agree 100%
Sorry but these aren't kids and this post is staying.
When you're 27 years old, selling prescription painkillers to an undercover detective is not a mistake. It's a crime. Dialing a wrong telephone number is a mistake.

It would be different if these "kids" were under age but if you look at their ages they are all over 18, which is the age of "adulthood". A mistake occurs once. They should take responsibility for their actions and pay the penalty. Too many times, when criminals get caught they blame someone else for their actions. Too bad!! If you don't want to get caught, don't do the crime...
How about when your only 19? I guess we all are perfect.
Kovak a lot of parents have kids including you. The OR put the story out there in police beat and the young adults will pay for there mistakes. I agree with the first comment why put them thru a blog? If it was your son and daughter would you be ok with it? Don't get me wrong they deserved to be puished. But what is excessive.
I like that Kovak is sticking to his guns and not taking this down from the blog. It does nothing more to hurt their reputations then the crimes they are charged with. This blog is about high school athletics. Its not Kovak's fault that news he finds about the area's former athletes isn't always the most positive thing. A lot of people like to know what happened to these standouts. Not all of their stories have happy endings with these being examples of those that don't.
