Apology

I just want to take this time to apologize to Bill Kostkas, Postgameheroes.com, bleacherreport.com and all my friends and family. I stole somebodies story and lead everyone to believe that I had written it. What I did when I was writing for Bleacherreport.com was horrible. I stole somebodies story and pawned it off as my own. There was absolutely no need for what I did. I know the game enough to not have to bite off of someone's work. It was irresponsible and uncalled for.

I don't know why I did it? Lately I've been going through a very tough time in my life. Financial problems mixed with emotional problems have caused me to act as a different person. For those who don't know, I suffer from depression. I was diagnosed with it when I was 18. Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed emotionally, I just don't know what to do. I don't want to use my illness as an excuse for what I did. I did it mostly to try to get a bigger following. The consequences have been harsh, and they should be. What I did was stealing. If people no longer wish to read what I post, I fully understand.

However, from here on out I am turning over a new leaf. I am dedicating my life to God. I'm joining up with a new church, and will get baptized in the next year. I'm also getting help for my depression. I will continue to blog and write because it's my passion and I so is sports. For the people that support my career, and support me, I will do my best to never let you down again. I will work harder, and prove my skills and knowledge of what I write about.

God Bless-Mad Chad

  2. And I thank you for your comment. It was a stupid, selfish mistake that I will never make again. I feel like I let so many people down, but I have the support from my friends, family, and god, so I feel as though I can overcome this.
