Thread: Broncos LB Von Miller beefing up support system with parents

Denver star linebacker Von Miller aims to return to the team following his six-game drug suspension a more mature, responsible individual, according to sources close to the player, including having his parents move in with him in Denver.

Miller has become a media target following his suspension and his recent issues with speeding, and should he fail another drug test or have irregularities with his sample and follow every part of the program's strict protocol, he would be facing a season-long suspension. To that end Miller's parents have moved in with the third-year player shortly after his suspension came down, and the Broncos plan to have a team employee work directly with Miller on a daily basis making sure he is coordinating his time wisely, and working with the player's representatives closely.

Miller isn't seen as a bad kid by any stretch, but clearly he has issues with maturity and responsibility. He's been known to show up to the wrong meeting at the team facility or show up late despite being inside the facility, with details sometimes slipping his mind. For lack of a better word, team officials will babysit him more closely and ensure Miller understands that things many would take for granted -- like traveling outside of the state without first notifying the NFL -- he cannot do. Due to the stage of the drug program he is in, all such trips must be cleared first so that Miller is able to potentially be drug tested.

So sad. Just goes to show the very distinct difference between being smart and being capable.

babysitting, exactly.
I guess his parents are getting a second chance at doing their job too.

This will be the THIRD time I posted the following when someone has felt the need to put Von's parents down:

from a 2011 article:

Miller referred to not just NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, but also to some of his soon-to-be Broncos teammates as "Mister." He did the same for star NFL quarterbacks he will be expected to chase down ("Mr. Manning," "Mr. Brees"), explaining why he consented to have his name added to the players' lawsuit against the league.

"I like to show respect to those guys," he said of his pending Broncos teammates. "I haven't met those guys in person, so going by nicknames and stuff, I don't think that would be appropriate until we build a relationship and I can prove myself, gaining respect."

So where'd this come from? The same household and influences where the elder Von Miller was shocked to find out that his son was playing football.

"That was the way I was raised and the way we raised our children," said the father.

AND

from same article:

When Miller rebelled and said he would transfer, Sherman responded that if he really wanted to leave, the coach would sign his release.

Von loaded up his 1981 pickup truck and started back to DeSoto. His phone rang. His father put it simply: "Turn around."

"It wasn't the right thing to do," Von, the father, said. "That's not who we are."

Said the son: "I pulled over. I objected and gave him my opinion, and I told him what I wanted to do. He said, 'No, the right thing to do is to go back and fix what you've done. You can't run from things.'

so you want to give his parents credit for being respectful to people but they dont figure in to the equasion when it comes to lack of respect for rules and laws?
besides, I didnt say the parents were bad parents, i just said they were getting a second chance.

Zam, don't speak of shit you don't know about.

Zam is the last person who should be lecturing others on accountability.

I think it's cool that Von has parents like that. so he's a young knucklehead that might be a bit slow on the uptake/still doing stupid shit. who knows what the issues are, NO ONE. i think it's great what his Parents are doing.

wasn't his dad riding shotgun while von was driving around with no license?

we'll see if it helps. . . all this talk about how he's gonna get his shit together is just that-- talk-- until it actually happens. . . i'm hoping for the best. . .

Now i am not sure if he knew that Von's license was in jeopardy...

Made sure about it..

Just my 2 cents ..

Sure Zam can say things that sound silly... but he can say smart stuff at times also...Us old people... (i is 57)
We can sound different to young ones ..
