Comments on: Washington Bullets Draft Demons of the Past: Dinner Bell Mel Turpin http://www.truthaboutit.net/2009/07/washington-bullets-draft-demons-of-the-past-dinner-bell-mel-turpin.html a Washington Wizards blog based in Washington, DC, member of the ESPN TrueHoop Network Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:13:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Kyle Weidie http://www.truthaboutit.net/2009/07/washington-bullets-draft-demons-of-the-past-dinner-bell-mel-turpin.html/comment-page-1#comment-5104 Kyle Weidie Mon, 12 Jul 2010 10:41:01 +0000 http://www.truthaboutit.net/?p=1005#comment-5104 Yes, I'm so sure that a post on some 'blog' contributed to Turpin's demise. Give me a fucking break. I wasn't trying to be cruel to the man, I was simply relaying the story of his life, and as it has to do with the Bullets, according to the stories of those who covered him. Turpin committing suicide is very, very sad. But if you think anyone, aside from the choice he made, had an affect on what happened then you probably need to be a bit less delusional and a bit more realistic on the value one places on their own life and their control over it.

Makes you wonder if this kind of writing helped propel Mel's decline before finally taking his own life almost a year to the day after this article was published. Every NBA team has had busts comparable to Mel's story. Sadly, it turns out, Mel was an easy target. Sad.
