Alcohol and substance abuse are not good for one's career, however B.J. has a track record of success in front of and behind the microphone. A guy with that kind of track record is always going to get more leeway than those of us who just plugged along. Indiscretions that might cost a board op or news guy their job and earn them a spot on the regional black list can be just minor career detours for high profile stars that make big money for owners. As long as owners figure the benefits of hiring certain people outweigh the potential risks, certain people will always get work. Unfair? Maybe, but it's a fact of life.
there are people who have just as much or MORE talent than he does and don't have this kind of history and haven't been this "Lucky", so and what does this say for "Playing By The Rules"?
good guys finish last?
