Seeing the passing of Joe Lee Dunn, I started reading about some of the old Morrison Day as Dunn was one of the guys Joe played racquet ball with the day he died. Of course it’s hard to read about Morrison without reading about the Steroid Scandal.
My question is, what are the fans thoughts on former DL Tommy Chaikin who is responsible for going to Sports Illustrated and contributing to the article being written. I know he accused many, Including Todd Ellis, of asking for steroids. Ellis seemed frustrated with Chaikin, saying the team felt betrayed by him as he should’ve come to the team if he had issues rather than going to the media. Of course all deny Chaikin’s accusations.
It’s crazy reading about him having the barrel of a gun on his chin in The Roost the night before the 1987 Clemson - Carolina game. He eventually let his dad come get him and he missed the game as they flew to Washington DC to get him some help. He said former teammates have reached out from time to time, even inviting him to come to a game at Williams-Brice…but at the time (around 2005) he wasn’t sure what the fan response would be.
I do wonder what the response would be…
