Len Bias


TNC reminds everybody to watch the Len Bias doc on ESPN tonight. Along with a great "Greatest hits" video, he talks about the effect Bias death had on his own generation's perception of coke use. Interesting.

Can't wait to watch, tho I'm sure I'll be whining and blubbering and texting Op every five minutes. Ah well. Can remember what I was doing when the news cut in on Q94. Laying on my side in bed facing the wall, reading Ball Four. Fuck.

Of course it was many years later before I realized he had come to be considered The Archduke Ferdinand of the Drug War. Jeez.
