Olympic-caliber call girl

    Quit being so drip-like. There's countless stories every year that wouldn't be stories but for a participant's fame. Do you think anyone pays attention to a random dog fighting arrest that doesn't involve Michael Vick?

    A well to do suburban Wisconsin mom with husband/kids leading a secret double life as a Vegas call girl is a salacious little tale on its own. But throw in the fact that she was once the world's best female miler and a famous three time Olympian and it becomes a far bigger salacious story. So what?

    Here is a series of tweets from Suzy Favor Hamilton:

    I realize I have made highly irrational choices and I take full responsibility for them. I am not a victim here and knew what I was doing. / I was drawn to escorting in large part because it provided many coping mechanisms for me when I was going through a very challenging / time with my marriage and my life. It provided an escape from a life that I was struggling in. It was a double life. / I do not expect people to understand, but the reasons for doing this made sense to me at the time and were very much related to depression. / As crazy as I know it seems, I never thought I would be exposed, therefore never hurting anybody. / I have been seeking the help of a psychologist for the past few weeks and will continue to do so after I have put things together. / I cannot emphasize enough how sorry I am to anyone I have hurt as a result of my actions and greatly appreciate the support from family / and those closest to me. I fully intend to make amends and get back to being a good mother, wife, daughter, and friend.

    She's still a big deal around Madison, I think they named a city park after her.

    Bret Bielema's wife is 27 years old. They met in Las Vegas. She was living there and trying to find work as a model. She had a profile (since taken down) on the Model Mayhem website.

    That would just be too fucking Arkansas for there to be a connection.

    Not that I think he's accomplished much. Just to see how he got so fucked up.

    Stoney, of course I see why it would be of interest to some. But seriously, take out the Olympian peg, and is it really a big story?

    Depression is mentioned in the piece, but her tweet also sounds a lot like someone with bipolar as far as the path she took. Acting out sexually, with apparently no regard for what might eventually happen in their life, happens quite often.
