Jason Peter's Road Back from Addiction

[wedontgiveadamn]

His story would be more compelling if he didn't have a whiny, bitchy tone

I highly doubt he was high in this interview, I know the man and he busted his ass to stay clean even when coaching. He might look that way but thats what years of hard drugs does to a person. And you might have seen this interview but you havent seen the HBO special on him where he taked openly about his drug use and he came out with a book about his drug use. How is that "frontin" if he already admitted it? Love you coach

my hero

[mamagh08]

I agree with one of the comments below - he is high in this interview. He continues to sniffle and has a spaced look in his eye. In another interview he looks and appears completely different. I read his book and thought it was really honest - he openly discusses his crack use along with the heroin. What he is saying here is that it started with pain pills and escalated. Read the book......

riods

[frEAkofNatre]

He looks high as fuck in this interview

[RiCkYGx503x]

That motherfucker be on some bullshit.I read the book,and he failed to be honest with his interview.he wasnt just doin painkillers,he was a motherfuckin crackhead.that motherfucker be frontin.i liked the book til i seen this interview

[CabooseUnited]

Stop talking you fucking.. i know him as a player so stop talking you pice of shit!

[myMockingbird8416]

@RiCkYGx503x he admitted to having convulsions, which are seizures. seizures are a symptom of cocaine use. so shut up.

[sendittobryce]

@myMockingbird8416 No they're not.......what are you, a Dr.? Seizures come from alcohol or benzo withdrawal.....very likely he was trying to quit using benzos and ran out........

[666ThaScarecro666]

Sounds like hes justifying him sucking ass in the NFL because of his recreational drug abuse.

[Luckyboys4080]

wtf are u talking about?

he sucked ass because of that and the injuries man, anyone can suck bc of drugs, shit like that can fuck your body up.

Recreational? that's interesting to pair up with addiction.

[666ThaScarecro666]

In my opinion he was a fuckin bust. You ever heard of that? Brady quinn didnt do drugs or was every seriously injured. But hes a god damn bust. Get over it.

[666jewkid]

hows he a bust when he has a superbowl ring?

[huskerfan4life]

Jason Peter's book is freaking awesome! I couldn't put it down. He is so honest about everything. His time at Nebraska was awesome too.

[buddhak0n]

Where's the book that admits that Nebraska wasn't really the National Champs in 1994? Cry me a river.

Of course you can lead a normal life after being sick. The Only losers are those who continue on that path.

Hope he's doing well.

[1tommyfrazier5]

still cryin over the penn state controversy huh? waaaaaaaaah waaaaaaaaaah

[huskermaniac28]

penn state didnt even beat oregon by that much. only by 18 points, and oregon had 3 losses before they played penn state. thats ridiculous that people think 94 penn state should be considered as one of the best. OVERRATED

[huskermaniac28]

give me a break, penn state won their bowl game against 9-4 oregon 38-20. they wouldnt have beaten nebraska, and they certainly arent the best ever (they definitely wouldnt have beaten 95 nebraska!)

[1tommyfrazier5]

damn he got skinny

[VicInNocal]

That's what happens when you get off the 'roids.

[swoj53]

great man great story

[DrummerJ7]

This book is amazing

[daveybaldwin7]

jason peter was my high school football coach at edison high school in 2005. he was a great coach and a great motivator. im glad to see hes doin good.

[nostandards4life]

This story NEEDS to be made into a movie

[huskersfan1]

the book is great, it really pumps you up

[nikh54]

Read the book in 3 days. Wore 55 in high school because of Jason and Christian. I have nothing but the highest respect for 'em.

[clinch30]

his eyes are crazy and he looks like a completely different guy awesome book though

[jlfahrer]

He sounds different too. If you watch Husker Century his voice is deeper. But then again, that documentary was taped when he was using at an all-time high.

[Kazakastan67]

Glad to see you pull it back together bud! thanks for all your great years here in Nebraska!
