This is going to play out for a few years because our legal system is slow. But hopefully, he accepts his responsibility and serves a few (5-8 minimum) years. Gets his shit together and rejoins society.

And honestly, if he wasn't a former player or had a podcast, would we mention him first over the victim?

Ethan Perry, RIP. And condolences to the family and friends.

All Big Ten

I can remember some of his shows when it was clear he was shit faced. Nevada Buck has to be embarrassed he was in a partnership with KB.

Stop it. He needs to go away for a while but it was obviously a mistake. Literally the biggest mistake someone can make that leads to taking a life.

Barton always needed to get sober that was always the thing with him. I’d imagine 10-15 years is likely in order which should sober him up.

I can’t imagine what any of these people involved are dealing with right now. Someone lost a loved one and the other family loses a husband and father for a very long time.

This isn’t a life in jail kind of mistake though. This was stupidity and it cost someone their life.

Two lives ended when Barton decided to drive drunk.

Oh and Criminal negligence, which is what this is by Barton, is not a "mistake". This isn't his first rodeo being a drunk driver.

Wow. Just a spectrum of emotions…..sad, furious, scared.

I know Kirk a little and have had dinner with him through some mutual friends. When he wasn’t drinking he was smart and engaging. Unfortunately, it was not common for him to without a drink in hand. I would frequently tune into his YouTube cast. He was drunk on that at least twice per week. Fricking unbelievable and sad. Rest in peace, young Ethan Perry.

That’s really sad and I remember a few of his drunk podcasts. There’s just not much good with alcohol. Frankly it’s amazing it’s legal when many other things aren’t. Alcohol has killed so many.

He’ll have no choice but to completely sober up now

I’m not. He should do time and a lot of it.

Of course it’s most sad that someone died. That was someone’s son and probably someone’s husband or boyfriend. However I also think many forget that now Barton’s kids will grow up without a father and a family is broken up. Lots of victims everywhere.

Many of us have made most of their biggest errors when they’re drunk (I know basically ALL of my embarrassment and regretful moments are because of alcohol). Whether it’s cursing someone out here on BP after the Oregon loss, saying something you regret to a loved one, or worse driving drunk. I admit I’ve driven when I shouldn’t have before. So I can’t imagine the grief he’s going to feel when he sobers up and realizes he’s going to lose the best years of his life.

So yes the young man dying is the worst thing of this but Barton’s life is effectively over too. I don’t wish that on anyone.

I personally think this is sad all the way around. Barton made a mistake, a grave one, but this is different than doing something on purpose.

He’s going to rightfully pay the price for that but I hope Barton can get out of prison. Not for him but for his Kids. Kids without a father figure is about one of the more destructive things today in America.

They probably got a warrant for blood at the hospital as well.

I realized you were being sarcastic. I kind of hijacked it.

It is weird though, 2 of the more successful OSU football podcasts (BS and THE podcast) were basically nuked overnight this year based on scandal and criminal accusations.

Eye for an eye

Good rotation
Good SS,C,CF

Mediocre to bad bullpen
Non existent LF, RF, 1B,3B,DH
Terrible defensive team

Play that combo 162 times and you’ll be lucky to win 81.

It’s just the MLB season revealing the many weaknesses this team has.

Wake me when ownership changes.

They are soooo close to being the 3rd best team in the division! They can hang with any team... except the best three in the division.

Marge Schott showed the Reds how to win. You don't just wing it with a setup guy who's throwing basically fast batting practice pitches. Gotta lock down the 8th and 9th innings.

Three run lead with 6 outs to go - actually 4 outs to go. There is no excuse for not closing the deal in today's game. I don't want to see santillan again except in mop-up duty. But of course we seem to be stuck with him until an injury.

I would imagine those will come out after the evidence is presented for trial.

W..O..W..
