    Back issue is sounding more like code for moving a troubled player. Always did seem odd how much Ireland wanted to move his undrafted find...and did it on the cheap in the end.

    They said he was basically an insomniac too. That'll make anyone act irrationally.

    Suspected so, which is why I said he needed to get some sleep and to clear.

    What most cannot understand is how driven marginal football players are to stay in the biz, they obsess over everything..when the process turns inwardly the bad happens

    I think it's probably more likely the insomnia is a symptom of mental health issues rather than the cause.

    Insomnia explains a lot. I'm sure the weed helped that a little. It's a shame. He was my fav Dolphin when he played for us. Hope he gets the help and support he needs.

    I have no reason to sympathize for Bess at the moment, he was a fan favorite around here and that's why he is getting a ridiculous amount of support from people in this thread.

    I didn't see any outcry of "it's not his fault" type posts for even Ricky Williams, and Ricky who was actually diagnosed with a mental illness never assaulted officers.

    Bess may very well be a mess, but that's likely due to his own self destructing actions.

    Worse. It's currently thought by some researchers that enduring a sleepless period of ~72 hours or so even once in your life can permanently change your brain. That's no joke.

    As I said before. Given some of the details that had already come out, it's far more likely that he deserves our sympathy than our mirth and scorn.

    Poor guy. Wasn't he arrested as a youth multiple times? It was heartwarming to see a poor inner city kid make it in the NFL as an undrafted FA.......

    Too bad those early life demons never left him.

    That's an understatement, he was literally the WORST starting QB I saw all year. No accuracy AND mental issues equals a tird QB.

    Was Bess really forcibly taken to a mental hospital before being traded to Cleveland?

    I have never read anything like that.

    I'm wondering if what he is experiencing is due to concussions.

    Agreed. If I were Bess I would hire an attorney and open a lawsuit against the NFL, after all he is a VICTIM here.

    Also he may aswell open up a civil suit against the field, after all why else would he just fall down for no reason?

    I like Bess the person but I never thought he was a good football player . only the dolphin fan base was dumb enough think different because Bess was always overrated .

    Lamar Thomas scored more touchdowns in one game then Bess did in a whole season , so that should convinced stubborn fans that he was overrated.

    If Amanda Bynes has nudes out there then I have not been doing my due diligence.

    That girl used to be amazing like 5 years ago.

    Gets even worse. Coral Springs PD called out to Marriott this morning because of an "incident" with Davone Bess, gave him medical assistance. No arrests, just the treatment.

    That photo looks like it was taken in a hotel bathroom, call to Marriott makes sense.

    This is a man with a wife and kids. Clearly he is not himself at this time.

    Ricky Williams was NEVER diagnosed with ANY disorder.

    He even admitted as such in an interview with Jim Rome recently where he said his "disorder" was nothing more than hi hearing the symptoms late at night, and diagnosing himself. it's a farce to say that Ricky suffered from any mental illness. Even he admits now that it was nothing more than him looking for an excuse for why he thought he was misunderstood.

    He was ALSO diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, I just can't find a link at the moment.

    I feel bad for the guy. I really appreciate what he did for our team though.

    Could you imagine if all this happened while he was still a Phin? Him and Martin....ouch.

    I have a hard time believing Ricky was free of any mental symptoms. The article states a doctor diagnosed him, he's just nutty enough to believe he's normal.

    I don't disagree that Ricky is odd, but I don't know that he technically had anything wrong with him, at least not in a clinical sense. I love don't him as a player, but there have been enough instances of him being a less than genuine person, that lead me to believe that he is full of **** on a number of topics.

    As it relates to Bess though, Bess seems to be off his base line, which is why, I think, he has garnered some sympathy. Ricky was self aware and did nothing about it. Bess thinks he is a chicken, currently. That garners sympathy from folks.

    The medical community is a farce, especially on the subject of personality disorders where the medicine they give you turns you into a zombie that doesn't give a **** about anything. I've seen it many times with my own eyes

    I have social anxiety problems. I will NEVER see a doctor. It doesn't make me a fake or liar. There is nothing wrong with self diagnosis in a lot of circumstances.
