After Theo Fleury was ejected from the NHL for substance abuse he was put in a rehab centre called Cottonwood in Arizona. The drug and substance abuse program contract required Theo to get a sponsor to show he had improved, on page 227 Theo convinced a random guy to agree to do it although he didn't have to try hard because his fame kicked in right away.("Well hi, I'm Theo Fleury." He fuckin' lost it! He said, "I read about you! This is where you are? You're here!") After he is released from the program he doesn’t seem to drift away from his sponsor. They hang out and go golfing almost every weekend until a few weeks later he just moves and ditches him which brings in my thought possibly Theo having a darker inside. It makes me think that possibly Theo uses people for his own advantage to get back into the NHL and get his pay so he can actually go out and party more and drink more. This is easily be done by Theo because he has such fame people will fall for him because he has money and if they have a chance to get some money they will more than likely hop on. This could be a coincidence but I am leaving you with the question, do you think Theo has a darker inside and uses people for his own gains?

This is an interesting perspective; compared to All The way. When Jordan went to rehab I genuinely felt that he was there to better himself. After he got out his life was actually better, he played better hockey, settled down and got married. He has dark shadows from his past but in general I wouldn't say Jordan has a dark side? I liked my book charecter and genuinely felt bad for him a lot but to me it's sounding like you have some resentment towards Theo because maybe he truly is not a good person; and that is a very interesting perspective to see.
