    William Perry: 'The Fridge is Broken'

    Man, this is pretty sad. Dude needs serious help.

    William Perry: 'The Fridge is broken'
    http://espn.go.com/blog/nfcnorth/post/_/id/24104/william-perry-the-fridge-is-broken
    Amid the hoopla of Super Bowl XLV, you might have missed Tom Friend's stark weekend profile of former Chicago Bears defensive lineman William 'The Refrigerator' Perry, who continues to suffer from health and alcohol-related problems at age 48.

      What is so sad and shocking about being unhealthy after 30 years of severe gluttony and alcoholism? The same can be said about millions of people. I'm afraid the only person that can truly help him is himself.

          Best part is that the ad on the top of that page was an ad for some kind of bacon cheeseburger with barbecue sauce at McDonalds. How fitting.

              I got an ad for Miller High Life. No joke.

                  Such a sad story. Saw the special on it on Super Bowl Sunday. Wish him the best

                      Exactly! I don't feel sorry for him. I thought this was some kind of Earl Campbell story. He can get his lazy *** up and workout.

                          This was my reaction as well. He's going to have to help himself if he wants to live.

                          If he's given up then that's on him.

                                  Another sad story of an athlete who thinks the well will never run dry. People really need to learn from the mistakes of others.

                                  EDIT: He hisses and scowls at his home gym? I will take it off his hands, and I won't even charge him to do so.

                                      I cant eat mcdonalds burgers anymore... there is a cookout close by and that owns comparatively on price and flavor.
                                      I doubted you Roy Williams since you only won with a someone else's team... Now you have proven me wrong.

                                      You have earned my respect.

                                          I don't feel bad for him, I feel bad for his wife. She has to deal with his sorry ***. Famous former football player or not, you've got to have some accountability for yourself. If he's not willing to put in the work to get better, then that's on him. It's a shame he has people, like his wife, who love him and will have to suffer the grief that comes with whatever fate comes to him.

                                                  Impossible to know the actual depth and nuance of this story from what's been reported...

                                                  Ditka doesn't seem to have anything but support and sympathy for the guy, and he actually knows him...

                                                  Substance abuse is easy to dismiss as a "self inflicted" wound, but medical science now knows better than that...

                                                  I'd like to see the guy get his act together, if at all possible...

                                                      After reading that article it seems like he's severely depressed. He needs to talk to somebody before it's too late but he has to help himself.

                                                          What people have to understand is that people who are depressed need to take the first steps themselves. You can have all the interventions and warnings in the world; if the person doesn't want to do it, they won't do it. It's different for a lot of people. I suffered from deep depression before I decided that I had enough and made an effort to change myself. For others, it takes outside help, and for others, there will be help and it will never be accepted. It seems like Perry is in the last category. Only he can change that.
