After the win (I never knew him before he won), there seemed to be any number of people looking to take advantage of Jody, and he struggled to deal with the pressure. I know he had drinking and drug issues before he won, and they certainly got worse after he won, but the bottom line is he was simply unprepared to deal with the money he won. He tried to do some smart things, liking purchasing a large parcel of property, but it seesm the pressure of being a special person in the neighborhood was too much. It's very easy to critisize him, but until you've been in his shoes, you have no idea how hard it is. He deserves our pity, and I for one hope he finds some peace in the future.

It is obvious, "taylor" was a ticking time bomb, just waiting to explode... the money just gave him "the excuse" to act the fool. IF your NOT an ass to begin with, money can't make you one.
