Never underestimate hard time

6/22/2017

There's a point in the movie The Sting when Johnny Hooker looks from afar at super-hoodlum Doyle Lonnegan and tells Henry Gondorf, "He's not as tough as he thinks." Gondorf replies, "Neither are we."

The scene came to mind after reading a recent Dan Wetzel (Yahoo Sports) column.


Wetzel is one of the pre-eminent sports writers in the country. I don’t always agree with him, but he’s pretty darn solid, and I think he truly hit the nail on the head with a recent article.

I’d already determined to share Wetzel’s article on Aaron Hernandez with my grandson (now in college), before I decided to also share it with the public at large. The grandson is light years different than Hernandez, so overall I don’t fret that much about him engaging in a path to destruction. Still, we’re all capable of making mistakes, so occasional reminders about potential consequences for bad decisions are worthwhile.

I would go so far as to call Wetzel’s article a “really good read,” especially for those who might underestimate incarceration.
