and they mentioned Sammy Greene no longer being with the team a couple of times. Curiosity led me here :-D . The original link to the Leader Post is dead, but here is an updated link to a third party site that has the article:

Side note, for those who watch the game, in the 4th quarter, around the 10min mark, they show a Lions player on the bench. I didn't recognize his younger face, but I sure recognized his gum chewing :-D .
Sad but unfortunately not at all uncommon in the world of sports which in many ways is no different than the real world outside sports.
Very sorry to hear the impact that this had on you and your family.Nicgreene19 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 11, 2023 12:00 pmSammy’s “youngest” son here Nicolas (from
Coquitlam). I Have been looking on/off for some info about Sam for the last 10 or so years. Sad to see he never got on track but he was not a good person to his kids or my mother. She committed suicide last year after a battle with depression and he is partly to blame. Maybe I’ll try and find him in San Diego sometime but it doesn’t look like he needs any more negativity in his life. I’m sadly seeing a resemblance of him in myself and this may be the wake up call I needed. Anyway I’m just ranting to myself but thank you to whoever posted the previous photo/update of him. Message me if you have any way of contacting him or if you run into him again, would love to know if he even remembers he has children. Take care everyone.
