I could care less about his background regarding money or anything else but I will not give him sympathy because he can not handle the pressure if that is the case.

People assume his alcohol problem(if that is the case) stems from the pressure. I think he has always enjoyed himself, just now it is being reported. His parents why they feel the need to jump in is beyond me except to get attention. I also see him doing nothing different than any other college kid.

The real headache for all this is Sumlin having to deal with it.

I totally agree. His parents seem like they want in on the act and all the attention and press that they can get. In my opinion, they are just strange. Why would you tell a reporter how you didn't get along with your father,but you're quite ready to live off his oil money. It's fine that he said that he wanted to be a good father to Johnny, but he didn't have to say why.
Also, in that article it seems like they have nothing good to say about A&M, and frankly if I were a fan of A&M, I wouldn't appreciate the things that they have said. They need to realize that while cute little Johnny is their prime concern, he isn't the only player that A&M has to take care of, and protect as they explained.
They were mad because they didn't feel that they got Johnny's Heisman in a timely manner, and that the University used it as a recruiting tool. Why would the school do that when they have one of their own, and without the school he never would have won that award. I'm sorry, but I want players to love their university, and not say anything to make it look bad in any way.
