I highly doubt Johnny would drink at a party with media personalities who have spoken against him and his addictions.Ya. Just heard on the radio that faith in Johnny being completely straight-edge is dwindling. Apparently, he was at that Shaq party and people are saying he was drinking... Again..
It won't go away until he talks about it.
why should he have to talk to the media about anything other than football?I'm disappointed he hasn't addressed the media yet. I understand immediately following his release but I would have thought by now he would have had some media time. At least answer some questions people have about his issues. He doesn't have to go into detail but acknowledging he is working on things and the steps he's doing to correct them seem like a reasonable thing to expect. I would imagine that would help the recovery process because it adds accountability to himself.

This says much of what I wanted to respond with so no need to go into further commentary.It's called being a man, grown up & a professional athlete. You are no longer a kid in college where people adore you and you can come to the games hungover/buzzed and just say, "Well, we got the dubya, amirite?!"
You need to take actions for whatever negative thing you have done and own up to it. You see it all the time with athletes with drugs, domestic abuse, offensive language, other crimes...
Fans, players and friends/family are looking up to you and some care for your well-being, just show you can change on & off the field.
You are pretty much a star, you can not hide behind your PR team and scripted letters forever.
