    Bell didn’t even know Malone was his father until after graduating from high school. When they finally met, Malone told the 18-year-old Bell it was too late to be his father, and that Bell would have to “earn his money on his own.”

    Nice.

    Wow. A guy I thought was a class act is a pretty bad douche.

    Holy cow. It just kept getting more bizarre the further down I read. OK, Malone is estranged from his kid (not such a big deal -- everyone has their baggage); hmm ... the kid's mother was 13 when she gave birth, which means she was 12 -- or thereabouts -- when they hooked up (illegality notwithstanding, this is creepy, bordering on sick); the kid finally meets Malone when he's 18, and pop tells him he's on his own (now he's a full-fledged dirtbag). I used to like Karl Malone, but this is not cool. I won't even get on my morality soapbox here; but doesn't anybody take responsibility for anything anymore?!

    I thought Karl was a good ole, regular guy? He's the Mailman. He drives an 18-wheeler in the off-season.

    To quote IJAG:

    Fuck you, you fucking goddamn ... statutory-raping piece of shit.

    Did he look directly at you during a press conference and call you by your first name?

    Wow.

    I bow in your general direction.
     
  12. It would have been nice if the the columnist had at least attempted to get Malone's version of the events - especially that meeting.
    I know it's a column, but talking about hanging someone out without giving them the opportunity to attempt to defend themselves.
