In fairness, Baker's column did provide the inner glimpse that Greg was into the whole bad*** thing ... which all the ink on his body doesn't exactly contradict...
Doesn't justify the tragedy, of course, but we begin to get a more nuanced understanding of the situation ... when athletes get into bad situations, chances are that they did something to get there...
Again, the macho head-butting does not imply that anybody *deserved* such a tragic outcome. These guys rage, and things get way out of hand, and next thing you know it's too late. "The beginning of strife is as when one letteth out water; therefore leave off strife, before it be meddled with."
