I'm still wondering how he managed to hit two stationary objects while doing <30mph. And how did he injury himself that badly going so slow... in something as big as an Escalade, no less? There's definitely more to this story than "oops, I crashed."
We don't need to turn ET into the National Enquirer. Seriously, who cares??? And what has this to do with Politics and Religion? He is not a senator and he is not a clergyman/televangelist, so...
Probably withdrew from the tournament because he didn't want to be hounded for info about this... hoping it blows over by the start of next season.
