TODD MARINOVICH IN HIS DAY WITH USC TROJANS

Former USC wunderkind quarterback, smack addict, and Oakland Raider cameo appearer Todd Marinovich is back in the news. No, he’s not making a comeback at 38 years-old.  No, he’s not trying to begin the career that never started at 38 years-old.  No, he’s not going to Disneyland.  He’s going……BACK TO REHAB!  Whoopie!  I know, riveting stuff.

…..[Marinovich] pleaded guilty Tuesday to felony possession of a small amount of methamphetamine and misdemeanor syringe possession and resisting arrest.

Orange County Superior Court Commissioner James Odriozola decided Marinovich, who has had previous stints in drug rehab, should be given one more chance, said Deputy District Attorney Chris Kralick.

Besides order rehab, Odriozola placed Marinovich on five years probation. If he violates probation, he faces three years and four months in prison, Kralick said.

The charges against Marinovich stem from his arrest in August near Newport Pier, where he was skateboarding in a prohibited area. Marinovich had a guitar case which contained speed in a powder form, as well as a spoon and syringe.  [LINK TO STORY]

Man, this is tasty fodder.  The world is my oyster.  Hmm….a guitar case, skateboarding, a spoon, a syringe, and a former all-world high school quarterback who was to be the “end-all, be-all” God of football….limping away from court with only probation and a rehab stint?  Now, mind you, I have a keyboard, a blog site, and tens of a few thousand of you out there to share in this hilarity and….shucks…I’m frickin’ frozen!  The pressure is too great. All I can muster up is, “Best of luck, Todd!  We’re all rooting for ya!!” and call it a night.  God Bless.

I wonder if Todd’s Dad will let him eat fast food yet. Considering Todd was busted with Meth, I guess eating is not a concern anymore.

I guess that parenting style really panned out for the Marinovich family. Now, all my family eats is Micky D’s and their damn well-adjusted.

Personally, I am curious how those real students at Swarthmore and MIT play the game? I’m guessing “badly.”

Skateboarding at 38…really?

Someone should tell him about the A&E show Intervention.

You don’t TELL the person about the intervention. That would spoil the surprise.

PartMule on November 2nd, 2007 at 8:01 am #

My sister spoiled the surprise of my intervention. I showed up anyway. It was a hoot. Parents crying, friends angry, etc.

Todd’s dad has done everything he can to help him, and realizes his mistakes. It’s real easy for people who don’t know the family to pimp on them. His other son didn’t start training with him until he wanted to, at 16. You self-righteous folks should try getting a life of your own.

If you don’t now the family personally, you doot know what you are talking about

Ellen - thanks for your message. I used to shoot heroin and eat Big Macs with Todd. Great family though…

I still have Todds football cards.
He could’ve been a great player, but unfortunately the *&#% got the best of him. I’m still rootin’ for ya, Todd

Bones on January 19th, 2008 at 9:22 pm #

One of my best friends is Todd’s Uncle Gary, who I train with. I do know Todd & family personally.

Bones on January 19th, 2008 at 10:48 pm #

I had it a lot harder than Todd, & found a way to get clean 22 years ago. When you grow up, it’s time to quit blaming your father, & start being responsible for yourself. I hope Todd gets it this time in rehab…Every time someone kicks Todd when he’s down, they’re kicking his mother Trudy too, & that’s not cool…And to assume I don’t know the family, is really hard to comprehend. I guess ignorant backstabbing is what part mule is, right?

The scum that latches on to s**t like this is the most disgusting form of humanity. So you shot heroin and ate dog food with Todd. You must be real proud of yourself. What makes you any better? Why don’t you wimps say some of this s**t to Marv or Gary’s face? Bones isn’t the one talking out of his ass here.

PartMule on January 20th, 2008 at 7:28 am #

Yes, I shot heroin (?!) and ate Big Macs…er…Dog Shit (?!!) with Todd…and now I run a sports, celebrity, SATIRE(!) blog…oh, did I mention satire?

Love, PM

PS - blow me.

It isn’t so funny when your ass is in the ringer is it? You’re the kind who is real brave as long as you’re hiding in your car, or behind a computer.

PartMule on January 25th, 2008 at 4:13 pm #

umm…satire?

I have a huge monitor, BTW.

PartMule on January 25th, 2008 at 4:21 pm #

Also…you know what they say about guys who have “Big” in their name…YES, abnormally small ________(fill in the word). Cracker….

Bones on January 28th, 2008 at 6:36 pm #

Big Dog got his nickname with the Cleveland Browns, and is now in Hawaii. I don’t think he & I know I am not going to continue with your more than part ass blog. If you want to step up to the plate, either one of us or the Marinovichs are not hard to find.

PartMule on January 28th, 2008 at 7:06 pm #

Listen…fellas…this satire and a part ass blog (nice one). No offense. I wouldn’t want Todd skating…umm…driving over and poking me with a syringe or something. Truce?

[…] Needless to say….I’m frail, weak, and unable to spend an ounce of energy on spewing nonsensical sport related posts so a guy named Big Dog can skate down  drive down from O.C. with Todd Marinovich and ravage/puncture me with a needle and syringe (see comments on this post HERE).   […]

Bones, shut the fuck up. I will look for all of you on Celebrity Rehab!!

Its to bad about what has happened to potentially an amazing athlete. I heard he has started working for the drug rehab center Kramer Center located in Newport Beach, CA. I hope this helps him get back on track and get off the drugs.

Drug Rehab on May 13th, 2008 at 8:18 am #

Maybe he should just start a Drug Rehab Center?
