I think it is a good take, and the truth is that at this point none of us really knows what happened. Comparing this to Patrick may be off-target. Patrick, had anxiety issues, probably increased by playing D-1 basketball games. Perhaps he felt he wasn't helping the team given his situation and he asked for some time off to deal with it. His behavior was unlikely impacting the team in a negative way. Seems a logical and correct response. I don't know what Grill's issues are, but it seems likely they did have a negative impact on the teams unity and feelings about him. Its different from what Patrick was going thru, still sad but maybe you can't just sit back and pretend things are ok and let him stay on the team. From what I have seen TJ has been a big supporter of Grill and so it must have been a tough choice but was probably the correct one for the team. Hopefully Grill gets better and things are better with the team. Sad situation regardless.
