    Maybin's infant son died last year?

    Link


    That's horrible...can't even imagine.



    AM: I mean life will do that to you. I have been put in a situation where this past year I struggled and learned a lot more about myself than I ever knew that I would. This year, the day before my daughter was born - she had a brother but I lost..I lost her brother. My son died the day before she was delivered so in losing a child..you, really grow to understand what’s important in life.

    MP: Wow, I’m so sorry to hear that. How were you affected by the loss?


    AM: In my opinion nobody…nobody should ever have to know what that feels like but once you understand the pain of a loss like that everything really means a lot more to you. You realize what’s important in life and the things that aren’t important just kinda tend to fade from existence. You really just tend to focus all of your time and energy into stuff that really means something to you.

    MP: I can’t even begin to imagine the pain of losing a child. How do you cope with such tragedy and remain so positive?



    AM: I understand that I have responsibility. With most people they have the luxury of “aiight if things fall apart in life I can sit around and I can think about how bad things are .” That works for people when you’re by yourself. I might be by myself as far as .you know, being single but I’m responsible for my family.

    Wow. Thanks for posting this. That is a terrible thing to go through, and further proves that while it is easy to criticize somebody; you have no idea what they are going through, personally.

      Yeah, I read that yesterday when he posted the link on Twitter. Pretty deep conversation. Some sad stuff in there too.

        I don't think you can let Maybin off the hook for two years because of this, though. Plenty of other athletes (and people in general) have gone through similar situations and they were still expected to get results (and many still did).

        That being said, it's a horrible thing to go through and for the first time I actually do have some sympathy for him. And to his credit, he didn't use it as an excuse- at least not publicly- because this is the first any of us are hearing about it. He could have deflected a lot of criticism if he had said something sooner, but instead he took it in stride.

          could be part of the reason he didn't dress for some games? not entirely the fact that he flat out sucks. which he does.

              I'd say. Not that he can blame performance on this but it puts things into perspective.

                Yes he should be able to preform at his job but hes not as aged as some people. he is still very young and hard to say how he should handle it or how it should affect him. hes 23 years old i don't think anyone should or would be ready for a childs' death at that time in there life.

                  Like Op said, I really give this guy credit for not using this as an excuse during the season for performance failures

                    So let me get this right ... those of you that are parents wouldn't skip a beat if you lost a child? And who are we to determine how anybody else should be coping with the loss of a child. Im not real high on the guy either, but damn ... some of you can be pretty ruthless.

                      I'm really surprised in this day and age we are just hearing about this now.

                        Very true, but from a strictly football standpoint the guy was an awful mess out there. Hopefully, he can surprise us all and go out there this year with a clear head and live up to the expectations we had for him when he was drafted.

                              Really? Name 1 athlete that had a son die on him and then went out that year and created great results.
