Minicamp footage of Parsons training with Charles Haley

Also shows LVE and the two rookie linebackers. I can't wait to see this defense.

I'm ready for a 6 legged turkey.

I can't help but wonder if Charles Haley is still as unpredictable as he used to be, when he had his bipolar incidents. He probably has it under control by now -- at least, I hope so! I still recall him riding his motorcycle into Randy White's restaurant/bar way back when. Randy told him to leave, and Haley refused, whereupon Randy then knocked him unconscious on the floor. Those were some pretty whacky times back then, with Haley around.

I do hope for his sake he is on a regular dose of meds...
Bi Polar is a serious illness, untreated it can destroy you.

No kidding -- I had a good friend who had that problem. He wasn't much fun to travel with in his car when he had one of his episodes. He'd tend to drive like a maniac. When you're helplessly sitting there, not knowing what to expect next, it's an extremely unsettling experience. Not much fun, for sure!

He's been doing fine since the late 90s to my understanding. The guy is a genius and was an absolute dog. I have not heard Troy Aikman compliment many players, but he was one of them.

Not to get too serious here, but my daughter had it and she is not longer with us. Age 28.

With meds you can live a fairly normal life.

I like that this is posted but this week we saw, a Im concerned about the LB depth post ..FROM FANS..doesnt sound like a large concern to me..

I realize clark wont be back this season unless by soem miracle he comes in the 2nd half somehow BUT Parsons, cox, and LVE is solid core we have this Haper kid and those depth guys no one likes Gifford and whomever,,
i cant wait to see Clark he looks like a Parsons clone, if hes even close to his old self next year Cox, Parsons and Clark thats a dream come true here.

See J Allens post for a positive update.

Sorry you had to bear such a traumatic death. The friend I mentioned died about 8 years ago from a rare cancer. He kept his bipolar condition under control most of the time but when it happened, he was pretty unpredictable. I pity anyone having to bear that burden. It's an extremely nasty condition.

Thank you for your kind words, she passed 6 years ago.
God's Grace to get through it has been quite amazing!

Watch Harper… I think he might have a little something to him. He could be better than people are expecting him to.

Sweet Heavens, I am so sorry.

I appreciate what Micah's doing here but Haley's too old for it to matter.

 

[john van brocklin]

Sweet Heavens, I am so sorry.

Thanks, as I posted to Bullflop, God has gotten our family through a very difficult time for which I will be eternally thankful!
