FREEP: Joe Murphy, Red Wings' No. 1 pick, is homeless again — and refusing help

Wow a #1 Overall pick who earned over $15 mil and he's become a homeless junkie living on the street. Sadly Joe pissed away a great opportunity through drugs, bad decisions, and concussions led him down this road. I want to feel sorry for him but he's been offered help a number of times and he's so whacked out he won't accept it. As compassionate as our society is, I have trouble with the fact he refuses to be helped out. Is it pride? Is it a messed up head from all those injuries? Is it drugs blurring his reality? It's probably all three and more. I'm sending out a message to the universe and hoping he receives it: "Joe, get your shit together or you'll be dead before you're 60."
