00:00:31,928 --> 00:00:35,276
[siren blaring]

00:00:35,311 --> 00:00:38,003
[fans chanting]

7
00:00:48,772 --> 00:00:50,395
- [Announcer] The only guy
whose gone to the dressing room.

8
00:00:50,429 --> 00:00:52,017
There's a line, they're
going at it right away.

9
00:00:52,052 --> 00:00:53,950
Looks like Tie Domi with
Probert.

10
00:00:53,984 --> 00:00:57,195
Probert and Domi going
at it, off the face off.

11
00:01:05,410 --> 00:01:06,480
- [Announcer] Probert's
got em nailed down now.

12
00:01:06,514 --> 00:01:08,482
He knows Domi's a tough kid.

13
00:01:08,516 --> 00:01:11,140
Domi's been [drowned
out by screaming fans]

14
00:01:11,174 --> 00:01:13,038
fight for a long time.

15
00:01:17,974 --> 00:01:20,010
- [Announcer] Look at
this, boys, oh, boys.

16
00:01:20,045 --> 00:01:22,496
Look at him, he even
throwing with the left hand.

17
00:01:26,776 --> 00:01:28,088
- [Announcer] Probert struck on
that one.

18
00:01:37,994 --> 00:01:40,824
- [Announcer] Holy mackerel,
look at him.

19
00:01:40,859 --> 00:01:42,757
Holy smokes,
do you believe this?

20
00:01:42,792 --> 00:01:44,656
Probert is cut badly.

21
00:01:44,690 --> 00:01:45,519
- [Announcer] Well, he
caught him with a left.

22
00:01:49,592 --> 00:01:52,353
- Wrestling was becoming
a real entertainment

23
00:01:52,388 --> 00:01:54,459
thing at the time, you know,

24
00:01:54,493 --> 00:01:57,186
there's Hulk Hogan, and
Macho Man, and Bret Hart.

25
00:01:57,220 --> 00:01:59,843
And these guys were, you
know, really living it up,

26
00:02:00,810 --> 00:02:03,399
I think I was kinda
tryin' to transition that

27
00:02:05,573 --> 00:02:07,092
into hockey a little bit.

28
00:02:20,485 --> 00:02:23,488
[slow gentle music]

29
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,403
- The second one was,
you know, obviously,

30
00:02:42,438 --> 00:02:44,612
the hype on the
New York Times front page

31
00:02:44,647 --> 00:02:45,958
and everything else, you know.

32
00:02:45,993 --> 00:02:48,513
It was like a boxing match,
Frasier, Ali,

33
00:02:48,547 --> 00:02:51,171
they had the size difference,
and all that stuff.

34
00:02:51,205 --> 00:02:52,724
He had the advantage for sure,

35
00:02:52,758 --> 00:02:54,277
but he smarts going in.

36
00:02:54,312 --> 00:02:56,624
- They have tried to put
the emphasis on hockey

37
00:02:56,659 --> 00:02:57,936
and not fighting, but tonight,

38
00:02:57,970 --> 00:02:59,558
there isn't much
they can do about it,

39
00:02:59,593 --> 00:03:02,147
as the Detroit Red Wings
face the Rangers in New York.

40
00:03:02,182 --> 00:03:04,598
Actually, it's about
Tie Domi of the Rangers

41
00:03:04,632 --> 00:03:06,324
and Bob Probert
of the Red Wings.

42
00:03:06,358 --> 00:03:07,532
- I'm not steering for anybody,

43
00:03:07,566 --> 00:03:08,981
but I'm not backing out or
anything,

44
00:03:09,016 --> 00:03:11,639
but I'm gonna stick up for
my teammates, like I said.

45
00:03:13,262 --> 00:03:15,160
And the whole idea is
to help this team win,

46
00:03:15,195 --> 00:03:16,161
and back my teammates up.

47
00:03:16,196 --> 00:03:20,786
- Are you getting a
little tired of having.

48
00:03:26,309 --> 00:03:27,655
Yeah, I'm sure
I'll see him then.

49
00:03:51,679 --> 00:03:54,199
- He was like, he was
like, I'm telling ya,

50
00:03:54,234 --> 00:03:58,134
he was, his eyes
were like light bulbs.

51
00:04:08,351 --> 00:04:11,147
[crowd cheering]

52
00:04:21,916 --> 00:04:23,918
[Announcers speak indistinctly]

53
00:04:52,464 --> 00:04:54,155
- [Announcer] The whole
bench is mocking Domi

54
00:04:54,190 --> 00:04:55,398
with the championship belt.

55
00:04:55,433 --> 00:04:56,917
- [Announcer] Oh my goodness.

56
00:05:10,137 --> 00:05:13,105
- 20 thousand people there,
going nuts,

57
00:05:13,140 --> 00:05:14,935
and you people that
don't like fighting,

58
00:05:14,969 --> 00:05:17,627
how many of ya did you
walk out and get a coffee

59
00:05:17,662 --> 00:05:18,663
while that was on?

60
00:05:22,874 --> 00:05:25,911
[crowd chanting]

61
00:05:25,946 --> 00:05:29,018
- [Woman] Ooh, cool,
open it for You.

62
00:05:53,939 --> 00:05:56,942
[slow piano music]

63
00:07:21,613 --> 00:07:22,683
You can't be a wimp or anything

64
00:07:22,718 --> 00:07:26,307
you have to be strong
and that's what they did.

65
00:07:34,937 --> 00:07:40,460
- Well I was on the police
department with Bobby's dad, Al.

66
00:07:40,494 --> 00:07:42,669
As a matter of fact, we
rode motorcycles together.

67
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,502
Way things are scrutinized
for police today.

68
00:07:48,537 --> 00:07:54,128
I mean we probably had
have more open hand

69
00:07:54,163 --> 00:07:56,165
with our police work then.

70
00:08:45,732 --> 00:08:48,424
[mellow piano]

71
00:09:16,659 --> 00:09:22,320
- My husband had his
first stroke March 21st.

72
00:09:23,804 --> 00:09:26,324
He died the
following August 28th.

73
00:09:28,395 --> 00:09:30,500
He wasn't himself at all.

74
00:09:31,571 --> 00:09:36,127
He couldn't really talk
too much or walk, whatever.

75
00:09:37,646 --> 00:09:39,475
I think it was hard on the boys

76
00:09:39,509 --> 00:09:41,788
to see the way their dad went

77
00:09:41,822 --> 00:09:45,446
because he was always big,
strong, man

78
00:09:45,481 --> 00:09:47,656
and then for this to happen.

79
00:09:47,690 --> 00:09:48,726
It was pretty hard on the boys,

80
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:49,796
I know that.

81
00:09:49,830 --> 00:09:51,418
But they never talked about it.

82
00:09:59,978 --> 00:10:02,118
- He never cried at
his dad's funeral.

83
00:10:05,501 --> 00:10:06,847
That's how he was raised.

84
00:10:07,779 --> 00:10:08,608
You know,

85
00:10:09,816 --> 00:10:11,611
boys don't cried. Men don't cry.

86
00:10:13,716 --> 00:10:15,062
- It sure makes you
grow up quick.

87
00:10:15,097 --> 00:10:19,308
There's times you wish
you had you dad around

88
00:10:19,342 --> 00:10:24,313
to get a man's perspective
on different situations

89
00:10:24,347 --> 00:10:25,797
you run into later in life.

90
00:10:31,354 --> 00:10:32,597
Things would've turned out
different

91
00:10:32,632 --> 00:10:34,668
if he woulda been around a
little longer.

92
00:10:39,121 --> 00:10:41,157
- Then he left the
day after the funeral.

93
00:10:43,850 --> 00:10:46,024
And the day after the funeral,

94
00:10:46,059 --> 00:10:52,065
one of my police friends drove
him down to camp in Branford.

95
00:10:53,135 --> 00:10:58,899
So he really didn't grieve
with his father, nothing,

96
00:10:58,934 --> 00:11:00,556
'cause he was gone.

97
00:11:00,590 --> 00:11:02,075
So I lost my husband,

98
00:11:02,109 --> 00:11:05,043
and the next day my son
was gone to Brandford.

99
00:11:05,078 --> 00:11:06,217
Junior Hockey.

100
00:11:25,098 --> 00:11:25,961
- He didn't like fighting.

101
00:11:27,617 --> 00:11:28,826
At least what he told me,

102
00:11:31,449 --> 00:11:33,796
he did it because he did it.

103
00:11:33,831 --> 00:11:35,177
He had to do it.

104
00:11:43,081 --> 00:11:45,981
- [Announcer] Dalgorno and
Probert.

105
00:11:59,511 --> 00:12:00,616
- [Announcer] These guys
are still going at it.

106
00:12:00,650 --> 00:12:02,652
They just got outta
the box again.

107
00:12:25,261 --> 00:12:27,712
- [Announcer] I believe it
is Baumgartner and Probert.

108
00:12:27,747 --> 00:12:30,784
And they were just
talking the whole time

109
00:12:30,819 --> 00:12:32,959
in the penalty box.

110
00:12:32,993 --> 00:12:36,169
We knew something was
going to happen.

111
00:12:38,861 --> 00:12:40,863
[music plays]

112
00:13:10,962 --> 00:13:11,963
-$80.00

113
00:13:15,484 --> 00:13:18,867
- He certainly was brought
up in a culture

114
00:13:18,901 --> 00:13:23,078
where drinking was
a center piece.

115
00:13:28,808 --> 00:13:31,362
- The adjustment from being away

116
00:13:31,396 --> 00:13:33,398
from your parents is quite large

117
00:13:33,433 --> 00:13:36,539
'cause you're on
your own at 15, 16.

118
00:13:39,404 --> 00:13:41,406
[soft music plays]

119
00:14:23,138 --> 00:14:24,311
- I recall, in Bradford,

120
00:14:24,346 --> 00:14:27,107
he even began under 19, him
going into the bars there.

121
00:14:27,142 --> 00:14:30,559
They knew he was underage and
he would still go to the bars,

122
00:14:30,593 --> 00:14:32,388
take the waitress
home or whatever.

123
00:14:33,424 --> 00:14:36,772
That led to him getting kicked
out of his place in Bradford.

124
00:14:38,187 --> 00:14:41,501
He brought her into the crawl
space at the Billot's house,

125
00:14:43,399 --> 00:14:44,987
and where he was sleeping
with a Billot, as well.

126
00:14:45,022 --> 00:14:48,957
And when he saw the girl getting
snuck out in the morning,

127
00:14:48,991 --> 00:14:51,131
she really got upset over it.

128
00:14:51,166 --> 00:14:53,340
I think the Billot got
very jealous.

129
00:15:18,296 --> 00:15:22,300
- When he missed the Ontario
Hockey League All Star team,

130
00:15:22,335 --> 00:15:23,508
the game, he missed it

131
00:15:23,543 --> 00:15:25,545
because he was
drinkin' the night before.

132
00:15:32,345 --> 00:15:35,313
- We got selected to go
to the OHL All Star Game.

133
00:15:35,348 --> 00:15:36,763
You know, we went out.

134
00:15:36,797 --> 00:15:39,214
And we had a few beers.

135
00:15:40,077 --> 00:15:42,113
Unfortunately, we slept in in
the morning

136
00:15:43,183 --> 00:15:45,979
and we had a meeting at
the rink the next day.

137
00:15:46,014 --> 00:15:48,257
We were gonna be
suspended for two weeks

138
00:15:48,292 --> 00:15:49,949
from league play,

139
00:15:49,983 --> 00:15:53,573
from the Alexanders, so...

140
00:15:55,195 --> 00:15:56,403
You basically think
the world is over,

141
00:15:56,438 --> 00:15:59,475
your hockey world's
over, your dream is done.

142
00:15:59,510 --> 00:16:04,515
And in hindsight it was
a dumb ass thing to do.

143
00:16:59,156 --> 00:17:01,123
- I wanna talk
about Bobby Probert.

144
00:17:01,158 --> 00:17:03,643
Is he beautiful or is he
beautiful?

145
00:17:03,677 --> 00:17:08,579
I mean, his reputation proceeded
him every place he went.

146
00:17:08,613 --> 00:17:09,580
Back in those day, what he was,

147
00:17:09,614 --> 00:17:12,134
he was a gunfighter,
a young gunfighter.

148
00:17:12,169 --> 00:17:13,446
And they used to go up to em

149
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,103
and say you wanna go?

150
00:17:15,137 --> 00:17:16,932
I gotta make a reputation.

151
00:17:16,966 --> 00:17:18,313
He'd go, you say when.

152
00:17:18,347 --> 00:17:19,797
But if the guy survived,

153
00:17:19,831 --> 00:17:20,901
it would be alright.

154
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,233
- The fighting has
changed quite a bit.

155
00:17:43,096 --> 00:17:47,238
Back then it was, let's
see who can hit the hardest

156
00:17:47,273 --> 00:17:48,515
and who can knock each
other down.

157
00:17:48,550 --> 00:17:50,552
[crowd cheering]

158
00:17:54,073 --> 00:17:55,729
He was the big boy on the
block, without a doubt.

159
00:17:57,731 --> 00:18:01,942
Bob Probert was unbelievable
for any team he played for.

160
00:18:01,977 --> 00:18:03,841
Because whenever he was dressed

161
00:18:07,016 --> 00:18:08,225
the other team
feared him so much

162
00:18:08,259 --> 00:18:10,227
that everybody on his team

163
00:18:10,261 --> 00:18:12,988
became bigger, stronger, braver.

164
00:18:14,127 --> 00:18:15,784
- [Announcer] And they are
just hammering each other.

165
00:18:16,819 --> 00:18:18,062
My goodness.

166
00:18:18,097 --> 00:18:20,099
Look at these
two trading punches.

167
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:22,653
I'll tell ya, I can't believe--

168
00:18:22,687 --> 00:18:23,516
oh, wow.

169
00:18:24,896 --> 00:18:25,897
Man, oh man.

170
00:18:29,004 --> 00:18:31,696
- The night before you have
a difficult time sleeping.

171
00:18:36,011 --> 00:18:38,358
- [Announcer] Bob Probert,
you remember hits Bob Rouse,

172
00:18:38,393 --> 00:18:39,911
and there's the helmet.

173
00:18:39,946 --> 00:18:43,122
You're gonna see the
helmet come right off.

174
00:18:43,156 --> 00:18:44,399
- [Announcer] Probert's still
loose.

175
00:18:44,433 --> 00:18:45,503
He's gonna go after MacGuire.

176
00:18:45,538 --> 00:18:46,470
Now, he comes in...

177
00:18:46,504 --> 00:18:47,954
He's gonna get
suspended without a doubt.

178
00:18:47,988 --> 00:18:49,473
There's no question.

179
00:18:49,507 --> 00:18:51,406
- [Announcer] And we got
Probert going at it with Ewan.

180
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,822
I knew that was coming.

181
00:18:54,650 --> 00:18:55,824
Oh!

182
00:18:55,858 --> 00:18:56,756
Look at Ewan!

183
00:18:56,790 --> 00:18:58,033
He decked Probert did he ever--

184
00:18:58,067 --> 00:19:00,139
- If he lost a fight, he would
fight comin' out of the box.

185
00:19:01,036 --> 00:19:03,142
I remember when we were young
and we were in St. Louis.

186
00:19:03,176 --> 00:19:06,697
And he fought
Todd Ewan and down he went.

187
00:19:07,146 --> 00:19:09,148
- He certainly got
him in the right hand.

188
00:19:11,357 --> 00:19:13,324
The whole time in the
box, I could see him.

189
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:14,774
Just fuming.

190
00:19:15,913 --> 00:19:16,914
And of course, in the old days,

191
00:19:16,948 --> 00:19:20,020
they came out of he box
and right to each other.

192
00:19:20,055 --> 00:19:22,230
Bob landed a lot of blows.

193
00:19:22,264 --> 00:19:26,165
And it was retribution of
you know, I can't lose.

194
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,650
- [Announcer] Bob Probert,

195
00:19:28,684 --> 00:19:31,411
as he does so
often in these fights,

196
00:19:31,446 --> 00:19:33,137
as it goes on he seems
to gain momentum.

197
00:19:33,172 --> 00:19:34,966
And now he's got
Ewan back peddling.

198
00:19:36,036 --> 00:19:36,934
- [Announcer] I guess Probert

199
00:19:36,968 --> 00:19:37,900
has really messed
up that right hand.

200
00:19:37,935 --> 00:19:39,419
He may have caught that on
Ewan's helmet.

201
00:19:40,420 --> 00:19:41,939
- We do crazy things like that.

202
00:19:41,973 --> 00:19:44,286
He had no calms
about hittin a goalie.

203
00:19:45,218 --> 00:19:47,151
Non whatsoever.

204
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:48,117
- [Announcer] Denied by Keens,

205
00:19:48,152 --> 00:19:49,705
Keens traps it behind the net
but hooza.

206
00:19:49,740 --> 00:19:53,295
Oh, and down on the
ice, a heavy hit there.

207
00:19:54,262 --> 00:19:56,781
Keens just got leveled by
Probert.

208
00:19:58,058 --> 00:19:59,094
Now watch Probert.

209
00:19:59,128 --> 00:20:01,096
I don't wanna say
Probert's tough or anything

210
00:20:01,130 --> 00:20:02,235
but keep your eye on Butcher.

211
00:20:02,270 --> 00:20:04,996
Now, watch Riendeau's pointing.

212
00:20:05,031 --> 00:20:06,860
Don't point at Probert.

213
00:20:06,895 --> 00:20:08,137
Don't point at Probert

214
00:20:08,172 --> 00:20:10,899
because bad things
happened to ya.

215
00:20:10,933 --> 00:20:12,590
[laughing]

216
00:20:12,625 --> 00:20:13,798
Isn't he a beauty?

217
00:20:13,833 --> 00:20:15,283
- [Announcer] That's brutal.

218
00:20:15,317 --> 00:20:16,353
- [Announcer] I know, that's
terrible.

219
00:20:16,387 --> 00:20:17,388
[laughs]

220
00:20:17,423 --> 00:20:19,010
- Sitting in the dressin
room before hockey game,

221
00:20:19,045 --> 00:20:22,290
he and I would pull out the
roster for the other team.

222
00:20:23,429 --> 00:20:27,674
And we'd kinda pick and choose
who was goin after who first.

223
00:20:27,709 --> 00:20:29,538
Who gets to run
the goalie tonight.

224
00:20:29,573 --> 00:20:31,126
'Cause we knew when
someone run the goalie,

225
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:32,231
it's gonna be a brawl.

226
00:21:06,955 --> 00:21:08,025
- It was the 80's.

227
00:21:08,059 --> 00:21:10,303
You know, back in the 80's
they said it was social.

228
00:21:11,891 --> 00:21:15,515
And if you were in the
mindset that me and Bob were,

229
00:21:15,550 --> 00:21:17,897
where you could keep
drinkin' 'cause of it.

230
00:21:19,312 --> 00:21:20,555
The first time you did it

231
00:21:21,694 --> 00:21:24,662
you knew you could drink
for another 3, 4 more hours.

232
00:21:24,697 --> 00:21:25,939
Well then, hell,

233
00:21:25,974 --> 00:21:26,940
scratch me in.

234
00:21:28,735 --> 00:21:30,427
Bobby was so
valuable to the team,

235
00:21:30,461 --> 00:21:33,015
they looked the
other way for a while.

236
00:21:33,050 --> 00:21:34,776
But until it the papers

237
00:21:34,810 --> 00:21:36,847
they had to try to do somethin'.

238
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,477
- The concrete
of the light standard

239
00:22:20,511 --> 00:22:23,272
crumbled to the ground.

240
00:22:23,307 --> 00:22:24,688
He carried on beyond that

241
00:22:24,722 --> 00:22:29,589
and drove through a window
of the restaurant bar.

242
00:22:29,624 --> 00:22:33,248
His car ended up right
in front of the bar,

243
00:22:33,282 --> 00:22:35,940
where people were
seated at bar stools

244
00:22:35,975 --> 00:22:36,941
in this restaurant.

245
00:23:32,203 --> 00:23:35,172
- He had gotten into a fight

246
00:23:35,206 --> 00:23:38,071
with several
Windsor Police officers

247
00:23:38,106 --> 00:23:40,522
and he was beaten pretty badly.

248
00:23:40,557 --> 00:23:43,456
And you know,
kind of impressed upon.

249
00:23:43,491 --> 00:23:44,837
You're not a kid anymore.

250
00:23:44,871 --> 00:23:46,666
You're a professional
athlete now.

251
00:23:46,701 --> 00:23:47,667
People are watching,

252
00:23:47,702 --> 00:23:49,220
people are gonna be testing you.

253
00:23:49,255 --> 00:23:51,326
You're gonna have
to show some restraint.

254
00:24:29,157 --> 00:24:31,504
- His cross examination
went something like this,

255
00:24:31,539 --> 00:24:32,574
Mister Probert, I understand

256
00:24:32,609 --> 00:24:34,576
that you are considered by many

257
00:24:34,611 --> 00:24:38,235
to be the heavy weight
champion of the NHL.

258
00:24:39,995 --> 00:24:41,825
Bob fell for it and of course,

259
00:24:41,859 --> 00:24:43,930
was quite proud to announce yes,

260
00:24:43,965 --> 00:24:45,794
he was indeed a hockey player.

261
00:24:45,829 --> 00:24:47,900
Yes, he was a
pretty good fighter.

262
00:24:47,934 --> 00:24:50,074
And he wouldn't
want to fight himself,

263
00:24:50,109 --> 00:24:51,938
he was that good.

264
00:24:51,973 --> 00:24:53,561
So we had a break in the action,

265
00:24:53,595 --> 00:24:55,114
the case wasn't quite over.

266
00:24:55,148 --> 00:24:57,530
And he came out during
the break and he said,

267
00:24:57,565 --> 00:24:58,980
I wasn't very good was I?

268
00:25:01,016 --> 00:25:02,362
In front of a criminal judge,

269
00:25:02,397 --> 00:25:05,469
where it's alleged that
you resisted arrest

270
00:25:05,504 --> 00:25:07,160
and you fought several officers

271
00:25:07,195 --> 00:25:10,129
and actually had the best of
them for a period of time,

272
00:25:10,163 --> 00:25:11,613
those were not good answers.

273
00:25:56,658 --> 00:25:59,178
- I do remember that he
did bring somebody home,

274
00:25:59,212 --> 00:26:00,144
some girl.

275
00:26:02,561 --> 00:26:03,389
I don't know...

276
00:26:05,598 --> 00:26:07,048
She seemed like a nice girl.

277
00:26:07,082 --> 00:26:09,706
But I don't think he
should ever have done that.

278
00:26:09,740 --> 00:26:10,569
[laughs]

279
00:26:10,603 --> 00:26:11,604
You know?

280
00:26:11,639 --> 00:26:13,710
[laughs]

281
00:26:15,263 --> 00:26:16,989
- Even some of his
treatment counselors

282
00:26:17,023 --> 00:26:19,819
would fall for his lying.

283
00:26:19,854 --> 00:26:22,788
And I'm thinking, these are
seasoned treatments officers,

284
00:26:22,822 --> 00:26:24,030
they should know.

285
00:26:25,066 --> 00:26:26,688
Everybody with those addictions

286
00:26:26,723 --> 00:26:29,415
become a con man or con woman.

287
00:26:30,623 --> 00:26:33,557
And he could con anybody into
thinking everything was okay.

288
00:27:04,692 --> 00:27:07,798
- First came to light Bob
totaled a car

289
00:27:07,833 --> 00:27:08,972
and was in jail in Windsor.

290
00:27:11,526 --> 00:27:13,252
How do you total a car in
a 30 mile per hour zone?

291
00:27:13,286 --> 00:27:14,633
I don't know.

292
00:27:14,667 --> 00:27:16,082
But Bob managed to do it.

293
00:27:16,117 --> 00:27:17,463
And we had a
meeting the next day.

294
00:27:19,085 --> 00:27:21,432
Jim Lites just said, how
could he get this way?

295
00:27:22,433 --> 00:27:23,814
Who's lookin after this guy?

296
00:27:25,713 --> 00:27:27,059
No one's sitting in the room.

297
00:27:27,093 --> 00:27:29,026
And I look around,
so I put my hand up.

298
00:27:30,062 --> 00:27:33,341
That was the beginning of
a tough love relationship.

299
00:27:35,550 --> 00:27:38,139
We were selfish too.

300
00:27:38,173 --> 00:27:40,866
We knew what good Bob was
and how he could help us.

301
00:27:42,246 --> 00:27:45,318
So we didn't fix it the way
we really had to fix it.

302
00:27:45,353 --> 00:27:47,389
We wanted him
cleaned up in two weeks.

303
00:27:47,424 --> 00:27:49,944
He spent a lifetime
getting the way he did.

304
00:27:49,978 --> 00:27:53,982
And we thought we could fix
it up in seven to ten days.

305
00:27:54,017 --> 00:27:55,052
We tried a lot of things.

306
00:27:55,087 --> 00:27:56,536
We went to Antabuse,

307
00:27:57,952 --> 00:27:59,194
which is a pill you take

308
00:27:59,229 --> 00:28:01,024
that makes you violently
ill when you drink.

309
00:28:02,715 --> 00:28:04,683
We're staying
around practice one day

310
00:28:04,717 --> 00:28:06,408
and we could smell it.

311
00:28:06,443 --> 00:28:08,894
And I remember Steve Eisman
and Jerry standin there,

312
00:28:08,928 --> 00:28:10,343
we're looking around
at each other like,

313
00:28:10,378 --> 00:28:11,620
who drank last night?

314
00:28:11,655 --> 00:28:14,623
well I changed the pills in
your office in the container.

315
00:28:14,658 --> 00:28:18,731
So I was givin him
an Advil or something.

316
00:28:18,766 --> 00:28:20,560
- There wasn't just one
private investigator,

317
00:28:20,595 --> 00:28:22,079
I think he had a team of people

318
00:28:22,114 --> 00:28:24,979
that would kinda
keep tabs on Bob.

319
00:28:25,013 --> 00:28:27,464
It didn't last long.

320
00:28:27,498 --> 00:28:29,052
None of the news was very good.

321
00:28:32,641 --> 00:28:34,126
- There's a lot to of
Probert jerseys in there.

322
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,197
I would say there's probably
more Probert jerseys in there

323
00:28:36,231 --> 00:28:41,064
than there was any other
jerseys that I remember.

324
00:28:41,098 --> 00:28:43,066
Bob was an asset to that team.

325
00:28:44,170 --> 00:28:45,137
And if he wasn't an asset,

326
00:28:45,171 --> 00:28:47,139
trust me, they wouldn't
have put up with him

327
00:28:47,173 --> 00:28:48,519
as long as they did.

328
00:28:53,593 --> 00:28:54,767
- He was almost Mister Detroit.

329
00:28:54,802 --> 00:28:56,493
And it was almost like he
can do anything in Detroit

330
00:28:56,527 --> 00:28:57,597
and get away with it

331
00:28:57,632 --> 00:28:59,392
'cause he was so big in Detroit.

332
00:29:00,428 --> 00:29:01,981
He was loved by his team mates.

333
00:29:04,294 --> 00:29:06,434
- When Probie and
I came to Detroit,

334
00:29:06,468 --> 00:29:09,264
back in the earlier, mid 80's,

335
00:29:09,299 --> 00:29:10,610
the Wings weren't winning.

336
00:29:12,336 --> 00:29:14,787
People start talking to us and
call us the Bruise Brothers

337
00:29:14,822 --> 00:29:16,375
and a team would score a goal,

338
00:29:16,409 --> 00:29:18,135
there wouldn't be a whole
lot of people standing up.

339
00:29:18,170 --> 00:29:20,793
But every time someone
dropped their gloves,

340
00:29:20,828 --> 00:29:22,830
the entire stadium stood up.

341
00:29:22,864 --> 00:29:24,417
- [Announcer] Now
we gotta fight!

342
00:29:24,452 --> 00:29:26,074
[Crowd Cheers]

343
00:29:26,109 --> 00:29:28,836
- [Announcer] Probert
now gets the right hand,

344
00:29:28,870 --> 00:29:29,733
oh my god!

345
00:29:32,943 --> 00:29:34,462
- [Announcer] With a
knock out punch

346
00:29:34,496 --> 00:29:35,497
on Gary Nyland!

347
00:29:35,532 --> 00:29:36,913
- [Announcer] We're back live

348
00:29:36,947 --> 00:29:38,224
and everything has
broken loose here.

349
00:29:39,225 --> 00:29:41,089
Probert conquers, oh!

350
00:29:41,124 --> 00:29:43,574
Probert just decked--

351
00:29:43,609 --> 00:29:45,369
[buzzer]

352
00:29:45,404 --> 00:29:46,267
[crowd cheering]

353
00:29:46,301 --> 00:29:48,510
- Nobody wanted to
play against him.

354
00:29:48,545 --> 00:29:50,754
He scores, what,
29 goals that year

355
00:29:50,789 --> 00:29:53,964
and 398 penalty plays
in the All Star game.

356
00:29:55,863 --> 00:29:57,347
- [Announcer] Bob Probert!

357
00:29:57,381 --> 00:29:59,383
[crowd cheering]

358
00:29:59,418 --> 00:30:00,246
- I mean,

359
00:30:01,075 --> 00:30:02,455
he was just that valuable.

360
00:30:02,490 --> 00:30:04,009
- [Announcer] From the Detroit
Red Wings,

361
00:30:04,043 --> 00:30:05,527
in his All-Star Game debut,

362
00:30:05,562 --> 00:30:07,978
on of the most rugged
players in the league,

363
00:30:08,013 --> 00:30:10,809
number 24, right winger,
Bob Probert.

364
00:30:11,637 --> 00:30:13,259
[crowd cheering]

365
00:30:13,294 --> 00:30:14,882
- [Announcer] On now,
comes Bob Probert.

366
00:30:14,916 --> 00:30:15,779
He scores!

367
00:30:17,436 --> 00:30:20,577
[crowd cheering]

368
00:30:20,611 --> 00:30:22,959
- The ability to
score 20 or more goals

369
00:30:22,993 --> 00:30:26,479
and the ability to operate
as the heavy weigh champion

370
00:30:26,514 --> 00:30:29,966
of he NHL for the majority of
his career,

371
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,659
I think you'd be hard pressed
to find that combination,

372
00:30:33,693 --> 00:30:38,698
that package in one person
throughout all of NHL history.

373
00:30:39,147 --> 00:30:40,079
It's pretty rare.

374
00:30:41,253 --> 00:30:43,842
[upbeat horns]

375
00:31:25,607 --> 00:31:27,816
- There was 8 or 10 other
players there,

376
00:31:27,851 --> 00:31:30,371
a couple that were playing and
a lot of guys who were hurt.

377
00:31:30,405 --> 00:31:32,407
And Bob was there

378
00:31:32,442 --> 00:31:34,858
and I was more upset that
they allowed Bob to drink.

379
00:31:35,963 --> 00:31:37,861
When they all knew
he problem he had.

380
00:31:48,147 --> 00:31:50,287
- I looked at him and said, so,

381
00:31:50,322 --> 00:31:54,533
understand Klima and Probie
were out drinkin last night.

382
00:31:54,567 --> 00:31:56,224
And Demers just
kinda turned white.

383
00:31:56,259 --> 00:31:58,226
He took a deep breath and he
leaned back

384
00:31:58,261 --> 00:31:59,434
and he spilled his guts.

385
00:31:59,469 --> 00:32:01,367
He told us everything.

386
00:32:01,402 --> 00:32:02,334
Everything.

387
00:32:02,368 --> 00:32:04,405
Which was highly unusual.

388
00:32:06,994 --> 00:32:08,961
We let Jacques just go on and on

389
00:32:08,996 --> 00:32:13,138
about how devastated he was,
how disappointed he was.

390
00:32:13,172 --> 00:32:15,002
How his players
were a bunch of idiots.

391
00:32:15,036 --> 00:32:15,864
How he let their team mates down

392
00:32:15,899 --> 00:32:17,038
and on and on and on.

393
00:32:17,073 --> 00:32:18,937
Turned out to be a
pretty good story.

394
00:32:49,829 --> 00:32:50,830
- Bob Probert pictured on the

395
00:32:52,039 --> 00:32:53,212
front page here.

396
00:32:55,111 --> 00:32:59,529
Headline is Red Wings star
misses key goal: Staying sober.

397
00:32:59,563 --> 00:33:00,840
One night after Bob Probert

398
00:33:00,875 --> 00:33:04,189
broke Gordy Howes Red Wing
scoring record,

399
00:33:04,223 --> 00:33:05,466
he broke his coaches heart.

400
00:33:05,500 --> 00:33:07,986
Is about the [mumbles]

401
00:33:08,020 --> 00:33:08,883
in Edmonton.

402
00:33:25,727 --> 00:33:27,143
- I guess that the
couple of stories

403
00:33:27,177 --> 00:33:29,524
that we had the last couple
of days has been reinstated

404
00:33:29,559 --> 00:33:32,182
that I was right because of
what happened last night.

405
00:33:35,047 --> 00:33:38,292
- Kieth Gave was a writer
for the Detroit Free Press.

406
00:33:39,638 --> 00:33:41,881
Very, very negative.

407
00:33:41,916 --> 00:33:44,367
I was hittin the
papers all the time.

408
00:33:45,644 --> 00:33:48,440
- Probie's career misconduct
chronology, it's called.

409
00:33:48,474 --> 00:33:53,410
And it goes on page
after page after page

410
00:33:55,619 --> 00:33:59,796
of his issues with
alcohol and other things.

411
00:33:59,830 --> 00:34:01,073
July second, 1986,

412
00:34:01,108 --> 00:34:02,937
charged with
assaulting a police officer

413
00:34:02,971 --> 00:34:05,215
after a scuffle
at a Windsor bar.

414
00:34:05,250 --> 00:34:06,354
Shocker.

415
00:34:06,389 --> 00:34:09,461
August 1986, discharged
from a Minnesota hospital

416
00:34:09,495 --> 00:34:10,979
after treatment for alcoholism.

417
00:34:11,014 --> 00:34:12,222
This is 1986,

418
00:34:12,257 --> 00:34:15,605
this is right after his
rookie season in the NHL.

419
00:34:16,537 --> 00:34:18,746
And it goes on page,
after page, after page.

420
00:34:19,747 --> 00:34:23,992
- Jacques created a
certain amount of mess.

421
00:34:24,027 --> 00:34:25,753
- [Announcer] The rumors
have gone as far as the years

422
00:34:25,787 --> 00:34:27,789
of coach Jacques Demers.

423
00:35:04,136 --> 00:35:05,206
- I gotta tell you this too.

424
00:35:05,241 --> 00:35:07,035
I had written so much

425
00:35:07,070 --> 00:35:10,591
about Bob Probert and
Petr Klima and others.

426
00:35:10,625 --> 00:35:12,282
And I felt like a hypocrite

427
00:35:12,317 --> 00:35:14,526
writing about some of the
things I had to write about.

428
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,287
The only difference
between Bob Probert and me,

429
00:35:17,322 --> 00:35:19,531
is that he got
caught and I didn't.

430
00:35:19,565 --> 00:35:21,222
I'm guilty of the same things

431
00:35:21,257 --> 00:35:22,672
and many of us are.

432
00:35:22,706 --> 00:35:25,606
Having a few drinks and the
press box finishin up my story,

433
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,401
hittin' last call, driving home,

434
00:35:27,435 --> 00:35:29,713
certainly past the legal limit.

435
00:35:29,748 --> 00:35:32,854
I coulda got caught and nailed
any number of times I didn't,

436
00:35:32,889 --> 00:35:34,062
I was luckier than him.

437
00:35:36,134 --> 00:35:39,206
[soft orchestration]

438
00:35:48,215 --> 00:35:50,907
- I met Bob at the front
desk at The Relax Plaza,

439
00:35:50,941 --> 00:35:51,977
here in Windsor.

440
00:35:53,358 --> 00:35:54,842
He was staying there
in a little hiatus.

441
00:35:54,876 --> 00:35:58,501
He was having some problems
with his visa I think,

442
00:35:58,535 --> 00:35:59,364
his work visa.

443
00:36:21,213 --> 00:36:23,319
The chemistry was just there.
We went on our first date

444
00:36:24,596 --> 00:36:26,114
and went to a
Chinese food restaurant

445
00:36:26,149 --> 00:36:28,047
that his dad just loved

446
00:36:28,082 --> 00:36:29,428
in downtown Windsor.

447
00:36:30,498 --> 00:36:31,465
We enjoyed that.

448
00:36:31,499 --> 00:36:33,260
And then we went out
for some frozen yogurt.

449
00:36:33,294 --> 00:36:35,296
It was his first time
for frozen yogurt.

450
00:36:36,297 --> 00:36:39,818
I fell for the, this doesn't
smell right, smell this.

451
00:36:39,852 --> 00:36:41,509
And I got yogurt up my nose.

452
00:36:43,615 --> 00:36:45,410
Wasn't that cute?

453
00:36:45,444 --> 00:36:46,273
[laughs]

454
00:36:46,307 --> 00:36:49,034
Though, I just, I don't know...

455
00:36:49,068 --> 00:36:51,347
Everything about him,
he was just adorable.

456
00:36:51,381 --> 00:36:52,210
Really was.

457
00:36:54,384 --> 00:36:55,661
- Just said, stay away from him.

458
00:36:55,696 --> 00:36:57,249
Yeah, all my instincts went up.

459
00:36:58,146 --> 00:37:00,804
You look like trouble. [laughs]

460
00:37:09,365 --> 00:37:12,816
- Cocaine made him slow down.

461
00:37:12,851 --> 00:37:15,129
Most times it's speedin you up.

462
00:37:15,163 --> 00:37:17,096
But with Bob,
it slowed him down.

463
00:37:17,131 --> 00:37:18,408
You know, one of
the things that...

464
00:37:19,616 --> 00:37:21,377
You know, Bob never got arrested

465
00:37:21,411 --> 00:37:22,688
when we were together.

466
00:37:24,794 --> 00:37:26,382
I guess he did get arrested.

467
00:37:26,416 --> 00:37:29,385
We got in a scrap
in Dallas but...

468
00:37:32,698 --> 00:37:35,874
You know what, I think we
just went harder than others.

469
00:37:35,908 --> 00:37:38,601
I think that's basically
how I can sum that up.

470
00:37:40,396 --> 00:37:42,190
- I remember him telling me

471
00:37:42,225 --> 00:37:43,640
about playing against
the New York Islanders

472
00:37:43,675 --> 00:37:46,436
and not remember even being
on the ice, he was so high.

473
00:38:04,799 --> 00:38:06,905
- That was a drug that was
used widely in the NHL.

474
00:38:10,633 --> 00:38:12,393
It's pretty scary
when you get a guy

475
00:38:12,428 --> 00:38:15,223
chasing you around on the
ice that's doin' cocaine.

476
00:38:15,258 --> 00:38:17,329
It seems like it gave
you this crazy strength

477
00:38:17,364 --> 00:38:18,330
and you know, this energy.

478
00:38:18,365 --> 00:38:19,745
So it was dangerous.

479
00:38:21,816 --> 00:38:24,681
I'm saying it's not right
that you're on that shit

480
00:38:24,716 --> 00:38:26,062
and you're running around.

481
00:38:26,096 --> 00:38:28,754
Probie was actually really
sincere and said, you're right.

482
00:38:28,789 --> 00:38:31,550
[crowd cheering]

483
00:38:35,554 --> 00:38:38,868
- I think the first time
I really did notice that,

484
00:38:38,902 --> 00:38:41,802
was the night that he
was caught at the border.

485
00:38:43,079 --> 00:38:46,669
To back it up, we were
at the bar in Windsor.

486
00:38:46,703 --> 00:38:50,155
And watching him behind
the bar and drinking.

487
00:38:50,189 --> 00:38:51,674
Drinking out of the bottle.

488
00:38:53,572 --> 00:38:55,125
It was like a switch

489
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,887
of seeing something that
I hadn't seen before.

490
00:38:59,854 --> 00:39:01,718
Or like this nonstop,
couldn't stop.

491
00:39:04,100 --> 00:39:05,791
And then going
through the tunnel,

492
00:39:07,241 --> 00:39:08,725
him scrambling to hide things.

493
00:39:14,248 --> 00:39:15,767
- [Reporter] Last night,

494
00:39:15,801 --> 00:39:17,113
it was the Red Wings
versus the Islanders.

495
00:39:17,147 --> 00:39:19,322
Today, it's the people
of the United States

496
00:39:19,357 --> 00:39:21,393
versus Robert Allen Probert.

497
00:39:21,428 --> 00:39:24,327
The Red Wings star could
face up to 20 years in prison

498
00:39:24,362 --> 00:39:26,743
if convicted of
drug smuggling charges.

499
00:39:26,778 --> 00:39:29,643
Customs inspectors stopped
him and three companions,

500
00:39:29,677 --> 00:39:31,127
as they reached
the American side

501
00:39:31,161 --> 00:39:32,611
of the Detroit, Windsor tunnel.

502
00:39:32,646 --> 00:39:34,544
It was 5:15 a.m.

503
00:39:34,579 --> 00:39:36,339
If customs' version is true,

504
00:39:36,374 --> 00:39:38,583
Probert was almost
inviting a search.

505
00:39:38,617 --> 00:39:41,137
- The examining customs officer

506
00:39:41,171 --> 00:39:43,657
saw that the immigration
document had expired.

507
00:39:43,691 --> 00:39:46,176
They noticed empty
liquor containers

508
00:39:46,211 --> 00:39:47,661
and beer cans in the vehicle.

509
00:39:48,593 --> 00:39:50,353
- [Reporter] A check of
Probert's pockets

510
00:39:50,388 --> 00:39:51,423
revealed a mill,

511
00:39:51,458 --> 00:39:53,460
a device often
used to grind cocaine.

512
00:39:53,494 --> 00:39:54,737
A strip search followed.

513
00:39:54,771 --> 00:39:55,876
Inspectors say they found

514
00:39:55,910 --> 00:39:59,638
14.3 grams of cocaine
in Probert's underwear.

515
00:39:59,673 --> 00:40:01,295
- I think he really wanted
to get caught.

516
00:40:01,329 --> 00:40:02,745
And talking to him later on,

517
00:40:03,780 --> 00:40:05,506
he basically said that.

518
00:40:05,541 --> 00:40:11,167
One of the customs immigration
officers said to him,

519
00:40:11,201 --> 00:40:14,860
according to Bob, do you
wanna go in the wash room?

520
00:40:14,895 --> 00:40:15,930
Bob said no.

521
00:40:15,965 --> 00:40:18,346
He said, no, do you wanna
go in the wash room?

522
00:40:18,381 --> 00:40:19,796
Maybe you should go
in the wash room.

523
00:40:19,831 --> 00:40:22,765
And Bob finally got the hint
the guy was helping him out.

524
00:40:22,799 --> 00:40:24,491
Bob had some cocaine with him,

525
00:40:24,525 --> 00:40:26,044
a whole bunch of cocaine.

526
00:40:26,078 --> 00:40:28,080
And they officer said,

527
00:40:28,115 --> 00:40:29,219
maybe you wanna
flush it down the toilet.

528
00:40:30,462 --> 00:40:31,567
And Bob was ready to
flush it down the toilet.

529
00:40:31,601 --> 00:40:32,499
He said, I can't do that.

530
00:40:32,533 --> 00:40:35,087
He said, I sniffed it all in.

531
00:40:35,122 --> 00:40:36,917
I looked like I was having
a powder jelly donut

532
00:40:36,951 --> 00:40:38,263
when I walked outta there.

533
00:41:19,546 --> 00:41:23,411
- I was 21 years old, so the
strip search was terrifying.

534
00:41:26,622 --> 00:41:29,072
The questioning,
now that I look back,

535
00:41:30,453 --> 00:41:34,353
it seems 15, 20 minutes,
probably.

536
00:41:34,388 --> 00:41:37,149
21 year old Dani
was probably feeling

537
00:41:37,184 --> 00:41:38,426
like it was an eternity.

538
00:41:39,427 --> 00:41:41,913
After that I remember
the sun coming up

539
00:41:41,947 --> 00:41:44,191
and everything hitting the news.

540
00:41:44,225 --> 00:41:46,538
- [Reporter] Probert is
scheduled back in court
March 22nd.

541
00:41:46,573 --> 00:41:48,989
He faces, not only a possible
jail term,

542
00:41:49,023 --> 00:41:51,336
but banishment by the
National Hockey League.

543
00:41:51,370 --> 00:41:53,718
And the Immigration and
Naturalization Service says

544
00:41:53,752 --> 00:41:55,340
it will seek to deport Probert,

545
00:41:55,374 --> 00:41:58,032
regardless of the outcome
of this drug case.

546
00:41:58,067 --> 00:41:59,931
- The arrest of Bob
Probert on cocaine charges

547
00:41:59,965 --> 00:42:01,657
could certainly
devastate his career.

548
00:42:01,691 --> 00:42:03,728
- Today's news comes as a
tremendous disappointment

549
00:42:03,762 --> 00:42:04,970
to the Red Wings.

550
00:42:05,005 --> 00:42:06,627
His drinking problem, of course,
has been well documented.

551
00:42:06,662 --> 00:42:08,146
He's been in alcohol
rehabilitation clinics

552
00:42:08,180 --> 00:42:09,837
five times in the past.

553
00:42:09,872 --> 00:42:11,977
- Officials found over
14 grams of cocaine

554
00:42:12,012 --> 00:42:13,634
in his possession.

555
00:42:13,669 --> 00:42:16,395
For Probert, a possible
jail term in his future.

556
00:42:16,430 --> 00:42:19,778
For the Red Wings, a
hit and sigh of relief.

557
00:42:37,624 --> 00:42:39,695
- For some reason,
can't help himself.

558
00:42:39,729 --> 00:42:41,869
Are drugs the demon that's
ruined him?

559
00:42:41,904 --> 00:42:43,975
Those close to him have
to share responsibility

560
00:42:44,009 --> 00:42:45,045
for his demise?

561
00:42:45,079 --> 00:42:47,047
Or is Probert just bent
on self destruction,

562
00:42:47,081 --> 00:42:50,706
a cruel and wanting accomplice
in his own ruination.

563
00:42:50,740 --> 00:42:52,915
- You know, somebody
runs a follow the rules,

564
00:42:52,949 --> 00:42:55,538
they oughta suffer the
consequences.

565
00:42:55,573 --> 00:42:57,298
I know a lot of people
expressed that.

566
00:42:57,333 --> 00:42:59,542
- I feel sorry for his parents

567
00:42:59,577 --> 00:43:02,545
and it's a rough mark
for the city of Windsor.

568
00:43:02,580 --> 00:43:04,374
I think he should
be thrown in jail.

569
00:43:04,409 --> 00:43:06,031
- [Interviewer] You don't have
any sympathy for him at all?

570
00:43:06,066 --> 00:43:09,448
- No. He shoulda been kicked
out the NHL a long time ago.

571
00:43:09,483 --> 00:43:12,590
- The media coverage, I
don't even think was guilty

572
00:43:12,624 --> 00:43:14,315
of sensationalizing

573
00:43:14,350 --> 00:43:19,355
when they predicted that it
was the end of his career.

574
00:43:19,804 --> 00:43:22,910
You know, that he would, most
certainly be incarcerated.

575
00:43:22,945 --> 00:43:24,671
Most certainly be deported

576
00:43:24,705 --> 00:43:27,535
upon completion of his
incarceration.

577
00:43:28,709 --> 00:43:30,228
And off it went.

578
00:43:30,262 --> 00:43:33,058
- For all you kids out there,
all you young hockey players,

579
00:43:33,093 --> 00:43:34,542
I just wanna say something.

580
00:43:34,577 --> 00:43:36,752
Think of something, when
somebody offers you some just

581
00:43:36,786 --> 00:43:37,684
or something like that.

582
00:43:37,718 --> 00:43:38,892
Think of Bob Probert.

583
00:43:38,926 --> 00:43:42,205
Here's a guy,
big guy, six foot three.

584
00:43:42,240 --> 00:43:43,655
Three year contract.

585
00:43:43,690 --> 00:43:46,175
He had Detroit in
the palm of his hand.

586
00:43:46,209 --> 00:43:48,073
Everybody loved him,
coach loved him.

587
00:43:49,074 --> 00:43:52,077
He walked in room,
every eye turned to him.

588
00:43:52,112 --> 00:43:53,941
Now it's all gone.

589
00:44:01,535 --> 00:44:02,950
- You know, I do sympathize,
or have sympathy for Bobby.

590
00:44:02,985 --> 00:44:05,090
Because I think his problems

591
00:44:05,125 --> 00:44:06,885
have gotten beyond
his own control.

592
00:44:08,024 --> 00:44:09,750
I think even if he wanted to

593
00:44:09,785 --> 00:44:14,306
change, he needed more help
than just himself to do it.

594
00:44:14,341 --> 00:44:16,377
- He's gotta get his life
straitened away

595
00:44:16,412 --> 00:44:17,482
and straightened out.

596
00:44:17,516 --> 00:44:20,209
Until he does that, he's
not really good to himself

597
00:44:20,243 --> 00:44:21,072
or to us.

598
00:44:22,038 --> 00:44:23,764
- First couple times,
you know you say,

599
00:44:23,799 --> 00:44:25,801
well you know, he screwed up
and let's give him a chance,

600
00:44:25,835 --> 00:44:28,562
but now it's been
about 12, 15 times.

601
00:44:29,977 --> 00:44:31,979
I don't think we feel
sorry for him now.

602
00:44:48,375 --> 00:44:49,687
- [Reporter] Robert walked
in to the courthouse

603
00:44:49,721 --> 00:44:52,103
not knowing if he would
walk out again a free man.

604
00:44:52,206 --> 00:44:53,725
Facing Judge Patrick Dougan,

605
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:56,624
the tears welled up in his
eyes as he tried to speak.

606
00:44:56,659 --> 00:44:58,557
Probert told the judge
that he was sorry

607
00:44:58,592 --> 00:44:59,731
for what he had done.

608
00:44:59,766 --> 00:45:01,975
Sorry he'd let his
teammates, his family,

609
00:45:02,009 --> 00:45:04,356
his friends, and his fans down.

610
00:45:04,391 --> 00:45:06,911
- It really hurt to see
the people I let down

611
00:45:06,945 --> 00:45:09,120
that still care about me.

612
00:45:09,154 --> 00:45:10,293
- [Interviewer] Would you like
to be able

613
00:45:10,328 --> 00:45:11,156
to play hockey someday?

614
00:45:13,124 --> 00:45:14,539
- I would like to get
back into hockey.

615
00:45:14,573 --> 00:45:15,471
I do miss it.

616
00:45:16,644 --> 00:45:19,337
You know, there's a few
obstacles in the way right now.

617
00:45:19,371 --> 00:45:23,272
But yes I would like to
play hockey again someday.

618
00:46:06,936 --> 00:46:09,042
- Remember visiting Bob
in Rochester, Minnesota,

619
00:46:09,076 --> 00:46:11,389
when he was at that
federal facility there.

620
00:46:14,426 --> 00:46:16,325
Never been to a
federal prison before.

621
00:46:20,778 --> 00:46:22,883
It's an intimidating thing,

622
00:46:22,918 --> 00:46:24,574
they finger print you.

623
00:46:24,609 --> 00:46:26,024
And you go in there to visit.

624
00:46:27,301 --> 00:46:30,270
And we probably spent an
hour with Bob visiting.

625
00:46:30,304 --> 00:46:32,168
He was, you know, nervous.

626
00:46:32,203 --> 00:46:34,343
And anxious,

627
00:46:34,377 --> 00:46:38,036
as you would expect a
24 year old guy to be.

628
00:47:07,169 --> 00:47:09,896
[crowd chanting]

629
00:47:11,621 --> 00:47:14,176
- Probie takes the ice.

630
00:47:14,210 --> 00:47:15,902
I get chills thinking about it.

631
00:47:15,936 --> 00:47:19,457
You know, the crowd
starts chanting his name.

632
00:47:19,491 --> 00:47:22,322
- [Announcer] And the crown
reacting to number 24,

633
00:47:22,356 --> 00:47:25,014
Bob Probert, taking his
first shift this afternoon.

634
00:47:25,049 --> 00:47:27,845
[crowd chanting]

635
00:47:42,238 --> 00:47:43,308
- [Announcer] Score!

636
00:47:43,343 --> 00:47:44,413
Bingo!

637
00:47:44,447 --> 00:47:45,552
[crowd cheering]

638
00:47:45,586 --> 00:47:46,518
Whoo hoo!

639
00:47:46,553 --> 00:47:49,038
[horn buzzes]

640
00:48:26,144 --> 00:48:27,387
- Well Bob, I don't really think

641
00:48:27,421 --> 00:48:29,941
lost a fight up
until that point.

642
00:48:29,976 --> 00:48:32,495
It was a big thing and
momentum started building

643
00:48:32,530 --> 00:48:34,463
like I was the new
up and coming guy.

644
00:48:35,740 --> 00:48:37,052
And he was the reigning king,

645
00:48:38,156 --> 00:48:39,709
the hype grew.

646
00:48:39,744 --> 00:48:41,297
- [Announcer] Let's go,
let's go,

647
00:48:41,332 --> 00:48:42,781
and away they go.

648
00:48:44,024 --> 00:48:45,508
[crowd cheering]

649
00:48:45,543 --> 00:48:47,269
Crowder gets a
couple early ones in.

650
00:48:47,303 --> 00:48:49,202
- [Troy] I always said it was
kinda like riding a bullet.

651
00:48:49,236 --> 00:48:50,686
You better hold on.

652
00:48:50,720 --> 00:48:51,825
You better stay on top of it.

653
00:48:51,859 --> 00:48:54,241
Because he seemed
to get more worked up

654
00:48:54,276 --> 00:48:55,863
as the fight went on.

655
00:48:55,898 --> 00:48:56,830
- [Announcer] The two of the
face to face,

656
00:48:56,864 --> 00:48:58,521
right in front of
their jersey bets.

657
00:49:01,766 --> 00:49:03,354
Oh, Probert gets [mumbles]

658
00:49:03,388 --> 00:49:04,217
oh!

659
00:49:06,391 --> 00:49:08,186
Probert nails--

660
00:49:08,221 --> 00:49:09,808
he knocks him down!

661
00:49:11,500 --> 00:49:13,295
- I know Ron MacLean
and Don Sherry

662
00:49:13,329 --> 00:49:16,160
had drove down
to watch the game.

663
00:49:16,194 --> 00:49:17,609
- We got a fight coming up here.

664
00:49:17,644 --> 00:49:18,748
- Show it!

665
00:49:18,783 --> 00:49:19,646
Alright, here we go,

666
00:49:19,680 --> 00:49:21,579
how watch helmet go flyin.

667
00:49:21,613 --> 00:49:22,856
This is a great fight.

668
00:49:23,753 --> 00:49:27,723
This is a return of Probert
and Crowder and 20,000 people.

669
00:49:27,757 --> 00:49:29,828
This is a knock out here.

670
00:49:29,863 --> 00:49:32,417
- Ron MacLean and I,
we went to Detroit

671
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,006
and it was like a heavy
weight championship fight.

672
00:49:35,041 --> 00:49:36,180
It was unbelievable.

673
00:49:36,214 --> 00:49:39,010
Detroit, they didn't care,
the puck was the far end,

674
00:49:39,045 --> 00:49:41,840
they just kept their
eye on Bob and Troy.

675
00:49:41,875 --> 00:49:43,773
And sure enough
they get into it.

676
00:49:43,808 --> 00:49:45,568
And Bob hits Troy so hard,

677
00:49:45,603 --> 00:49:48,192
his helmet went about
10 feet in the air.

678
00:49:48,226 --> 00:49:49,952
And they had two beauties.

679
00:49:49,987 --> 00:49:52,851
Everybody knows, I don't
think he ever got beat.

680
00:49:52,886 --> 00:49:54,819
I can't remember,
it might be somebody.

681
00:49:54,853 --> 00:49:57,028
But I don't ever remember
him being beaten.

682
00:49:57,063 --> 00:49:58,340
- [Announcer] Here comes Manson.

683
00:49:59,444 --> 00:50:01,550
Look at this he got Grimson
- [Announcer] That's Probert.

684
00:50:01,584 --> 00:50:02,792
And here they go.

685
00:50:02,827 --> 00:50:04,346
Grimson came right out
of the Chicago bench,

686
00:50:04,380 --> 00:50:07,314
came after Probert and was
[mumbles]

687
00:50:07,349 --> 00:50:08,557
he wanted him to go.

688
00:50:08,591 --> 00:50:10,352
And he got his wish.

689
00:50:10,386 --> 00:50:13,803
- I think it had
a lot to do with

690
00:50:13,838 --> 00:50:18,843
just his personal disregard
for his own physical wellbeing.

691
00:50:19,740 --> 00:50:22,329
He wasn't the least big
concerned about getting hit.

692
00:50:24,573 --> 00:50:27,334
[crowd cheering]

693
00:50:29,371 --> 00:50:32,926
- [Stu] The emotional
drain of having to get up

694
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:36,171
for a battle with
a guy like Probert.

695
00:50:36,205 --> 00:50:38,138
That can really
consume your thoughts

696
00:50:38,173 --> 00:50:40,071
and your state of mind.

697
00:50:48,804 --> 00:50:53,188
You just feel like there's
no way you could hurt him.

698
00:50:54,189 --> 00:50:56,984
- He had that Bob Probert
look, like I wanna kill you.

699
00:50:57,019 --> 00:50:58,710
- [Announcer] Now, we're
gonna have a scrap.

700
00:50:58,745 --> 00:51:00,954
Probert and Simpson drop
the gloves in centers.

701
00:51:00,988 --> 00:51:05,372
- [Reid] He wanted to kill
you every time he fought.

702
00:51:05,407 --> 00:51:06,304
- [Announcer] Probert
got in another!

703
00:51:06,339 --> 00:51:07,443
Oh, and an uppercut
landed for Probert

704
00:51:07,478 --> 00:51:09,169
and now he's plugging away.

705
00:51:09,204 --> 00:51:10,688
- [Announcer] With the
right hand loose

706
00:51:10,722 --> 00:51:11,654
gotta couple in to Probert.

707
00:51:11,689 --> 00:51:12,586
Probert hasn't even
begun to fight yet.

708
00:51:12,621 --> 00:51:14,174
- There was two sides to Bob

709
00:51:14,209 --> 00:51:16,487
and you just didn't wanna
be on the wrong one.

710
00:51:16,521 --> 00:51:20,456
- [Announcer] We got
Probert and Twist.

711
00:51:20,491 --> 00:51:22,527
- [Tony] For Bob's
generation of hockey,

712
00:51:22,562 --> 00:51:23,908
he was the measuring stick.

713
00:51:24,978 --> 00:51:25,772
How does he stack up?

714
00:51:25,806 --> 00:51:26,600
If you're the measuring stick,

715
00:51:26,635 --> 00:51:28,050
that means you're the man.

716
00:51:28,085 --> 00:51:28,878
- [Announcer] These guys
are pure heavy weights

717
00:51:28,913 --> 00:51:29,741
in this league.

718
00:51:30,846 --> 00:51:31,674
Wow!

719
00:51:32,710 --> 00:51:33,573
- [Tony] You're gonna
fight the biggest kid

720
00:51:33,607 --> 00:51:35,885
at your school, in the field,

721
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,301
and everybody's gonna watch.

722
00:51:40,027 --> 00:51:41,581
- When he was in his wild
and crazy days in Detroit,

723
00:51:41,615 --> 00:51:45,343
you never knew what
he was going to do.

724
00:51:45,378 --> 00:51:46,689
- [Announcer] Detroit goes
away,

725
00:51:46,724 --> 00:51:48,139
and the fights on Bob Probert.

726
00:51:48,174 --> 00:51:49,106
Oh man, that's Jeremy Roenick.

727
00:51:49,140 --> 00:51:51,038
- [Announcer] Jeremy Roenick
and Probert.

728
00:51:51,073 --> 00:51:53,420
- [Announcer] Now the
Blackhawks are trying to get in.

729
00:51:53,455 --> 00:51:57,459
Oh, wow, they gotta get in.
There's no choice here-

730
00:52:01,635 --> 00:52:05,225
- It was that sense of no
knowing

731
00:52:05,260 --> 00:52:08,573
that sometimes was
more fearful about Bob.

732
00:52:10,265 --> 00:52:11,438
- [Announcer] Probert again
sends it in.

733
00:52:11,473 --> 00:52:14,545
Probert and McSorley, oh,
Probert took a swing at him.

734
00:52:14,579 --> 00:52:16,029
Probert and McSorley!

735
00:52:16,063 --> 00:52:16,857
They're bumping!

736
00:52:16,892 --> 00:52:17,686
They're bumping!

737
00:52:17,720 --> 00:52:18,721
Oh, yeah.

738
00:52:18,825 --> 00:52:19,826
[crowd cheering]

739
00:52:45,231 --> 00:52:48,199
- [Announcer] They're not
done yet. Oh no.

740
00:53:02,524 --> 00:53:05,182
- [Announcer] They can't
step into these punches.

741
00:53:05,216 --> 00:53:06,459
This is one of the longest
fights I've ever seen.

742
00:53:06,493 --> 00:53:08,530
- [Announcer] I've never
see on go this long

743
00:53:08,564 --> 00:53:10,221
with officials watching.

744
00:53:42,460 --> 00:53:44,807
- [Announcer] Lord almighty.

745
00:54:45,627 --> 00:54:47,525
- [Dani] His brother didn't
want him marrying me.

746
00:55:01,194 --> 00:55:02,851
He was going go
get a stack of money

747
00:55:02,885 --> 00:55:06,268
and head to Vegas
with his brother.

748
00:55:07,614 --> 00:55:08,719
I think it was my maid of honor

749
00:55:08,753 --> 00:55:11,515
and my mom discussing in
the hallway a little bit of,

750
00:55:11,549 --> 00:55:12,826
yeah, they're looking for Bob.

751
00:55:12,861 --> 00:55:14,241
They couldn't find Bob.

752
00:55:15,415 --> 00:55:19,592
And I was detecting a little
bit of panic in the room.

753
00:55:19,626 --> 00:55:21,318
- Was a train wreck, right?

754
00:55:23,423 --> 00:55:29,015
It wasn't a smooth transition
to get Bob to the wedding

755
00:55:29,049 --> 00:55:29,843
facility

756
00:55:29,878 --> 00:55:30,948
I can tell you that.

757
00:55:46,032 --> 00:55:48,241
- Bob, I'd just like to say,

758
00:55:48,275 --> 00:55:49,518
take care of our baby.

759
00:55:51,348 --> 00:55:53,246
You're the son that
Leslie never had.

760
00:55:55,904 --> 00:55:58,320
We've taken the daughters
very precious to us.

761
00:55:58,355 --> 00:56:00,840
And we love you both very much.

762
00:56:01,979 --> 00:56:06,432
And we wish you the best
of life from here on in.

763
00:56:08,019 --> 00:56:10,263
- The swirl of activity
that always surrounded Bob

764
00:56:10,297 --> 00:56:14,163
was not something I was ever
really comfortable with.

765
00:56:14,198 --> 00:56:16,614
It was a fanatic pace, it was...

766
00:56:18,961 --> 00:56:22,862
Just high energy, is
probably the best way.

767
00:56:22,896 --> 00:56:24,415
Anything he did was
always high energy.

768
00:56:25,865 --> 00:56:29,316
- Needless to say, on July
first, 1993,

769
00:56:29,351 --> 00:56:33,355
45 minutes late,
we did get married.

770
00:56:33,390 --> 00:56:35,012
It happened.

771
00:56:35,046 --> 00:56:37,670
[clapping]

772
00:56:37,704 --> 00:56:41,708
- Here is the newlyweds
Bobby and Dani.

773
00:56:41,743 --> 00:56:42,847
Is she beautiful or what?

774
00:56:42,882 --> 00:56:45,850
[audience cheering]

775
00:56:45,885 --> 00:56:47,887
- Alright, now listen, I
gotta ask you the question,

776
00:56:47,921 --> 00:56:51,304
is he as tough at home
as he is on the ice.

777
00:56:52,616 --> 00:56:53,548
- Big teddy bear.

778
00:56:53,582 --> 00:56:54,859
- Big teddy bear!

779
00:57:15,155 --> 00:57:16,571
- [Dani's Father] Baby girl,
come on.

780
00:57:16,605 --> 00:57:18,296
Holy cow, look at that.

781
00:57:18,331 --> 00:57:19,988
He's a big one.

782
00:58:19,116 --> 00:58:22,015
- I spoke later to one
of the arresting officers

783
00:58:22,050 --> 00:58:23,914
that was there.

784
00:58:23,948 --> 00:58:28,401
And he told me that
when he leaned over Bob,

785
00:58:28,435 --> 00:58:31,438
trying to find out
if he was okay,

786
00:58:31,473 --> 00:58:35,166
Bob said to the officer, just
arrest me with the usual.

787
00:59:02,469 --> 00:59:05,576
- He was handcuffed to a bed
in a room when I walked in.

788
00:59:09,891 --> 00:59:11,617
And he cried when he saw me.

789
00:59:11,651 --> 00:59:15,690
He cried when he saw me

790
00:59:17,657 --> 00:59:21,661
and my full eight
months of pregnancy.

791
00:59:24,940 --> 00:59:27,460
He was always
worried about hurting me

792
00:59:27,494 --> 00:59:31,913
or hurting the kids or
the pain he caused others.

793
00:59:31,947 --> 00:59:36,434
So him laying eyes on
me, seeing me waddle in,

794
00:59:37,884 --> 00:59:39,886
it hit him.

795
00:59:40,922 --> 00:59:41,578
He knew he screwed up.

796
00:59:41,612 --> 00:59:42,268
Big.

797
00:59:51,380 --> 00:59:53,693
- The media's once
again blown up.

798
00:59:53,728 --> 00:59:56,627
They have every right to
think that his career's over.

799
00:59:56,662 --> 00:59:58,249
Then it's announced in the media

800
00:59:59,630 --> 01:00:00,942
that the Red Wings
have cut him loose.

801
01:00:11,677 --> 01:00:12,781
The phone rings.

802
01:00:12,816 --> 01:00:15,508
They're inviting us to come
to Chicago the next day.

803
01:00:15,542 --> 01:00:17,648
24 hours later, Bob and I

804
01:00:17,683 --> 01:00:24,275
are in mister Werx's
beautiful townhouse

805
01:00:24,310 --> 01:00:26,968
on Lake Drive in Chicago.

806
01:00:27,002 --> 01:00:29,591
And an accident that
should have killed him,

807
01:00:30,765 --> 01:00:35,183
took him to a million
dollar annual raise.

808
01:01:04,108 --> 01:01:05,696
- Um.

809
01:01:05,731 --> 01:01:08,250
[Dani laughs]

810
01:01:10,874 --> 01:01:13,704
- Okay. [sigh]

811
01:01:13,739 --> 01:01:16,880
Okay, the straps
go in the back right?

812
01:01:44,114 --> 01:01:44,908
- Everything changed.

813
01:01:44,942 --> 01:01:46,495
Everything changed instantly.

814
01:01:56,022 --> 01:01:57,058
- [Woman] Bye Brogan!

815
01:01:57,092 --> 01:01:58,059
- Bye!

816
01:01:58,093 --> 01:01:59,336
- [Man] Bye Brogan!

817
01:01:59,370 --> 01:02:00,717
- Going to Chicago,

818
01:02:00,751 --> 01:02:02,615
it was full time recovery.

819
01:02:04,272 --> 01:02:07,240
So he had eight years
of sobriety in Chicago.

820
01:02:19,874 --> 01:02:21,876
- [Dani] What do you say
when you knock on the door?

821
01:02:21,979 --> 01:02:24,533
- [softly] Trick or treat.

822
01:02:24,568 --> 01:02:25,914
Trick of treat.

823
01:02:25,949 --> 01:02:27,088
- [Dani] Which one's your
favorite pumpkin, Brogan?

824
01:02:27,122 --> 01:02:28,745
- Trick or treat!

825
01:02:28,779 --> 01:02:29,746
[Bobby laughs]
- [Dani] Just like that.

826
01:02:30,194 --> 01:02:31,748
Which one's your
favorite pumpkin?

827
01:02:31,782 --> 01:02:33,715
- Which one do you like
better out of the two?

828
01:02:33,750 --> 01:02:34,923
- Dada's.

829
01:02:34,958 --> 01:02:36,373
- Yeah, that's daddy's.

830
01:02:36,407 --> 01:02:37,512
[laughing]

831
01:02:37,546 --> 01:02:39,790
- All of the cushions
off the couch

832
01:02:39,825 --> 01:02:41,999
and us bouncing around where
there was jumping on the bed.

833
01:02:42,034 --> 01:02:45,347
Or listening to oldies
and having a good time.

834
01:02:45,382 --> 01:02:47,556
Bob dancing with the kids.

835
01:02:48,592 --> 01:02:50,801
And each of them
getting thrown around

836
01:02:50,836 --> 01:02:51,768
and having so much fun.

837
01:02:53,804 --> 01:02:55,357
- Everything was
adrenaline based.

838
01:02:55,392 --> 01:02:58,326
It had to be on
the boat, tubing.

839
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:01,294
It had to be on the dirt
bikes, on the four wheelers,

840
01:03:01,329 --> 01:03:02,468
on the motorcycles.

841
01:03:02,502 --> 01:03:05,782
We were on motorcycles
before we could even walk.

842
01:03:05,816 --> 01:03:07,024
We were sittin' with him.

843
01:03:09,233 --> 01:03:12,029
Everything was just on
the go all the time.

844
01:03:13,410 --> 01:03:14,549
- He loved his duck call,

845
01:03:14,583 --> 01:03:16,516
which I'm sure the other
kids will say that.

846
01:03:16,551 --> 01:03:18,553
That duck call, he'd be like
[duck call]

847
01:03:18,587 --> 01:03:19,450
from a mile away.

848
01:03:25,180 --> 01:03:28,114
- [Woman] This I gotta get.

849
01:03:28,149 --> 01:03:29,598
Big Bob.

850
01:03:29,633 --> 01:03:31,186
- [Daughter] Wrong way.

851
01:03:32,705 --> 01:03:34,672
Oh my god, you're so graceful.

852
01:03:34,707 --> 01:03:36,916
[laughing]

853
01:04:04,392 --> 01:04:05,289
- The first half of his career,

854
01:04:05,324 --> 01:04:07,636
where he wasn't looking at you,

855
01:04:07,671 --> 01:04:10,329
he just seemed to
be staring past you.

856
01:04:10,363 --> 01:04:15,368
And you were almost a non
entity in the equation.

857
01:04:18,993 --> 01:04:23,273
He had this kinda faceless
countenance, almost.

858
01:04:23,307 --> 01:04:27,864
You were waging war with
this inanimate being.

859
01:04:27,898 --> 01:04:30,659
[crowd cheering]

860
01:04:32,972 --> 01:04:35,492
I didn't see that, that
same version of Bob

861
01:04:35,526 --> 01:04:37,287
towards the end of his career.

862
01:04:38,702 --> 01:04:40,704
He seems far more human.

863
01:04:40,738 --> 01:04:42,464
Far more mortal than he used to.

864
01:05:23,954 --> 01:05:25,956
- He was on the last
year of his contract

865
01:05:25,991 --> 01:05:28,648
and he wasn't under
that drug, alcohol,

866
01:05:28,683 --> 01:05:31,444
or gambling policy at the
beginning of the year.

867
01:05:32,514 --> 01:05:34,516
And you just saw
him slowly starting

868
01:05:34,551 --> 01:05:36,622
to fall off the
wagon a little bit.

869
01:05:39,521 --> 01:05:41,213
They call him the night before

870
01:05:42,248 --> 01:05:43,905
and as soon as the door knocks,

871
01:05:43,940 --> 01:05:46,011
he knew it was the guy who
gonna be takin' his sample.

872
01:05:46,045 --> 01:05:47,288
Before he answered the door,

873
01:05:47,322 --> 01:05:50,222
he would take that
urine that was clean

874
01:05:51,188 --> 01:05:52,810
and put it in a microwave for,

875
01:05:52,845 --> 01:05:54,053
I don't know, small
amount of seconds.

876
01:05:54,916 --> 01:05:56,193
He knew the temperature
where the pee has to be

877
01:05:56,228 --> 01:05:57,781
for when they take the
temperature, they know it's
real.

878
01:05:57,815 --> 01:06:00,266
You wanna do something,
he found ways to do it.

879
01:06:00,301 --> 01:06:02,372
- His intake of the pills were

880
01:06:03,304 --> 01:06:05,754
pretty excessive.

881
01:06:05,789 --> 01:06:08,309
I remember he would take
oxi 80s and what he would do

882
01:06:08,343 --> 01:06:10,725
is dip em in Coca-Cola.

883
01:06:10,759 --> 01:06:13,555
To take the time
release off them.

884
01:06:13,590 --> 01:06:16,006
And use one of
those foot file scrapers,

885
01:06:16,041 --> 01:06:17,352
scrape em down and snort em.

886
01:06:17,387 --> 01:06:20,321
I hated seeing it.

887
01:06:20,355 --> 01:06:24,359
And I remember him doing
up to 18 of em a day.

888
01:06:24,394 --> 01:06:26,603
That's enough to kill anybody.

889
01:06:26,637 --> 01:06:27,431
- It was legit.

890
01:06:27,466 --> 01:06:28,536
He had back pain.

891
01:06:28,570 --> 01:06:30,538
There were days that I had
to push him out of bed,

892
01:06:30,572 --> 01:06:32,643
with both feet,
to help him get up.

893
01:06:32,678 --> 01:06:36,475
There was no denying that
he was in a lot of pain.

894
01:06:37,545 --> 01:06:42,101
But the doctor's quick
to prescribe the opioids.

895
01:06:48,832 --> 01:06:51,628
- I think, in the end, the
opiates got a hold of him

896
01:06:51,662 --> 01:06:52,560
and took him down.

897
01:06:57,220 --> 01:06:59,636
- We gotta remember, Bob
was in a lot of fights.

898
01:07:02,363 --> 01:07:04,848
He lived in bodily pain, daily.

899
01:07:05,814 --> 01:07:08,783
That's what they gave him.

900
01:07:08,817 --> 01:07:10,992
And they're so easy
to get addicted to.

901
01:07:12,166 --> 01:07:15,031
[angelic humming]

902
01:07:20,864 --> 01:07:22,210
- Hockey players
abuse their bodies.

903
01:07:22,245 --> 01:07:25,006
Fighters really
abuse their body.

904
01:07:25,041 --> 01:07:26,525
You're jammin'
shoulders and backs

905
01:07:26,559 --> 01:07:28,768
and necks and hands.

906
01:07:28,803 --> 01:07:32,048
So I had many, many
friends that were fighters

907
01:07:32,082 --> 01:07:34,602
that did a lot of pills.

908
01:07:34,636 --> 01:07:37,467
- I don't think the
average, everyday person

909
01:07:37,501 --> 01:07:40,056
would never understand
the punishment

910
01:07:40,987 --> 01:07:41,850
we put our bodies
through everyday.

911
01:07:42,955 --> 01:07:45,682
The stress, the strain,
the beating.

912
01:07:46,786 --> 01:07:48,547
And I mean it's constant.

913
01:07:48,581 --> 01:07:49,410
And it's everyday.

914
01:07:50,859 --> 01:07:53,069
I can tell you all but
you couldn't imagine.

915
01:07:54,518 --> 01:07:55,450
- He had CTE.

916
01:07:57,142 --> 01:08:02,112
Dr. McKee, in the
conference call that we had,

917
01:08:04,563 --> 01:08:08,498
basically was saying that
on a scale from one to four,

918
01:08:08,532 --> 01:08:12,088
he was a two,
bordering on a three.

919
01:08:13,744 --> 01:08:15,712
You can't sit there and
speculate

920
01:08:15,746 --> 01:08:17,748
whether or not he
woulda had dementia,

921
01:08:17,783 --> 01:08:20,096
early onset dementia,
Alzheimers.

922
01:08:20,130 --> 01:08:21,787
But the likelihood was, yes.

923
01:08:26,481 --> 01:08:29,243
[crowd cheering]

924
01:08:31,141 --> 01:08:33,005
- I remember just
playing hide and seek

925
01:08:33,039 --> 01:08:35,870
with him one day
and I kid you not,

926
01:08:35,904 --> 01:08:40,323
probably the same space
between me and you.

927
01:08:40,357 --> 01:08:42,670
I was standing right
in front of him,

928
01:08:42,704 --> 01:08:44,327
and he honestly
couldn't even see me.

929
01:08:44,361 --> 01:08:46,052
It's like I wasn't
even there to him.

930
01:08:46,087 --> 01:08:47,744
And I literally talking to him.

931
01:08:47,778 --> 01:08:50,160
And he was just very confused

932
01:08:51,334 --> 01:08:52,680
and you could bring up
something that happened

933
01:08:52,714 --> 01:08:55,200
a couple hours ago an he
wouldn't know

934
01:08:55,234 --> 01:08:56,132
or he wouldn't remember.

935
01:09:02,276 --> 01:09:04,312
- I don't wanna get on that
shit, you see.

936
01:09:04,347 --> 01:09:05,555
Why get into concussions?

937
01:09:05,589 --> 01:09:06,970
You notice in coaches corner,

938
01:09:07,004 --> 01:09:09,283
I never talk about
concussions.

939
01:09:09,317 --> 01:09:10,767
You really getting into
something...

940
01:09:10,801 --> 01:09:13,183
You guys better be very careful

941
01:09:13,218 --> 01:09:15,772
because that's a
touchy subject right now.

942
01:09:15,806 --> 01:09:18,499
- [Announcer] Looks like he
didn't wanna drop the first hit.

943
01:09:18,533 --> 01:09:20,880
[mumbles] got the machine
gun moving the left.

944
01:09:20,915 --> 01:09:23,331
Boy, oh, boy, he hit
him right on the butt.

945
01:09:24,229 --> 01:09:26,783
- The reason I had to
leave the game, ultimately,

946
01:09:26,817 --> 01:09:28,716
was due to post
concussion syndrome.

947
01:09:29,820 --> 01:09:31,822
[announcer calling game
indistinctly]

948
01:09:38,864 --> 01:09:42,730
I don't wanna know,
I always say, I don't...

949
01:09:42,764 --> 01:09:46,216
Doctors are trying to get me
in these scanning machines.

950
01:09:46,251 --> 01:09:47,493
I don't wanna break
their machines, you know.

951
01:09:48,322 --> 01:09:49,185
But the reality is,

952
01:09:51,256 --> 01:09:53,637
I should be taking
care of myself

953
01:09:53,672 --> 01:09:55,743
because of things that happened

954
01:09:55,777 --> 01:09:57,193
to guys like Bob
and other people.

955
01:09:58,055 --> 01:10:01,404
I think it's just us, with
stubbornness and stuff so...

956
01:10:01,438 --> 01:10:06,029
Trying to change a
little bit at a time

957
01:10:06,063 --> 01:10:07,893
to really...

958
01:10:09,860 --> 01:10:12,346
think of my kids
and my family, my wife

959
01:10:13,657 --> 01:10:15,418
and everybody 'cause it's...

960
01:10:16,384 --> 01:10:17,213
It's real.

961
01:10:21,803 --> 01:10:23,598
Life is a very delicate thing.

962
01:10:28,362 --> 01:10:29,225
I think...

963
01:10:31,917 --> 01:10:33,608
When you're not
prepared for it like

964
01:10:33,643 --> 01:10:34,920
no body was for Bob,

965
01:10:36,956 --> 01:10:38,889
anything can happen to
anybody at any given time.

966
01:10:40,408 --> 01:10:43,653
- And goes down and
take another right hand.

967
01:10:47,277 --> 01:10:48,554
- I've hit some
people pretty hard

968
01:10:48,589 --> 01:10:49,762
and I've felt things break

969
01:10:49,797 --> 01:10:50,591
and I've felt things shift

970
01:10:50,625 --> 01:10:51,833
and I've felt things move.

971
01:10:51,868 --> 01:10:53,490
I think to myself, oh no.

972
01:10:55,112 --> 01:10:57,080
You kind of have that sense of

973
01:10:58,288 --> 01:10:59,979
oh shit, what did I just do?

974
01:11:01,153 --> 01:11:02,568
- [Announcer] Here we go.

975
01:11:02,603 --> 01:11:04,018
Caron and Parker.

976
01:11:05,191 --> 01:11:06,779
- It was almost a war mentality,

977
01:11:06,814 --> 01:11:07,642
like kill or be killed.

978
01:11:09,334 --> 01:11:12,060
- [Announcer] Oh, Probert
hit him in the right!

979
01:11:12,095 --> 01:11:13,338
Another one!

980
01:11:13,372 --> 01:11:15,478
- You know, getting punched
really hard in the head

981
01:11:15,512 --> 01:11:17,411
does do things to you over time.

982
01:11:19,723 --> 01:11:21,000
At the end of the day,

983
01:11:21,035 --> 01:11:22,554
you do want a quality of life

984
01:11:22,588 --> 01:11:23,589
where you wanna be
able to hold your kids

985
01:11:23,624 --> 01:11:25,764
and do things with your kids

986
01:11:25,798 --> 01:11:26,627
and not be cooped
up in the basement

987
01:11:26,661 --> 01:11:28,491
because light affects you so bad

988
01:11:28,525 --> 01:11:30,941
that it just sends
you into a tizzy.

989
01:11:31,770 --> 01:11:34,773
[intense orchestra]

990
01:11:55,656 --> 01:11:59,453
- The post career is
tough on a lot of guys.

991
01:11:59,487 --> 01:12:02,145
Plenty of players
struggling with that

992
01:12:02,179 --> 01:12:03,422
not being around the guys,

993
01:12:03,457 --> 01:12:06,218
not having your regiment
schedule to follow.

994
01:12:07,081 --> 01:12:07,875
You know, being on the bus,

995
01:12:07,909 --> 01:12:09,463
being at the rink
at certain time.

996
01:12:10,567 --> 01:12:12,845
So you find yourself
with so much time

997
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:15,020
and nothing to do,
you miss the guys.

998
01:12:15,986 --> 01:12:17,919
- [Dani] Good morning,
Merry Christmas.

999
01:12:18,748 --> 01:12:20,266
- Merry Christmas.

1000
01:12:20,301 --> 01:12:24,685
- [Bobby's Daughter] He's
farting all the time--

1001
01:12:24,719 --> 01:12:27,239
- [Dani] I wouldn't get too
close.

1002
01:12:27,273 --> 01:12:28,551
- It takes its toll on you.

1003
01:12:28,585 --> 01:12:31,381
I think Bob felt
that like I did.

1004
01:12:31,416 --> 01:12:34,488
We felt like we were kinda
lettin the team down,

1005
01:12:34,522 --> 01:12:36,662
the fans down,
and it was a tough time.

1006
01:12:36,697 --> 01:12:38,319
Then you're left with nothing.

1007
01:12:38,354 --> 01:12:39,872
You're home with a wife and kids

1008
01:12:39,907 --> 01:12:44,912
and you don't have that
adrenaline rush you need to
fill.

1009
01:12:45,395 --> 01:12:46,223
- Dad!

1010
01:12:47,777 --> 01:12:48,812
- Ho ho ho!

1011
01:12:48,847 --> 01:12:50,538
Merry Christmas!

1012
01:12:50,573 --> 01:12:53,438
- [Dani] Christmas afternoon,
how are ya?

1013
01:12:53,472 --> 01:12:54,749
- What time is it?

1014
01:12:54,784 --> 01:12:56,199
- [Dani] Don't worry,
we've been videotaping you,

1015
01:12:57,442 --> 01:12:59,961
puttin toys on your
head, frogs stuck to you,

1016
01:12:59,996 --> 01:13:01,100
everything, you haven't
even noticed.

1017
01:13:01,135 --> 01:13:02,205
- Where's my toys?

1018
01:13:03,309 --> 01:13:06,243
[coughing]

1019
01:13:06,278 --> 01:13:08,314
Christmas kicked my butt.

1020
01:13:08,349 --> 01:13:10,420
[coughing]

1021
01:13:10,455 --> 01:13:12,042
- [Woman] I'll give
you a family shot.

1022
01:13:15,667 --> 01:13:16,668
- [Girl] Uncle Rob!

1023
01:13:16,702 --> 01:13:18,394
- [Man] Get in there,
I want some lovin too.

1024
01:13:18,428 --> 01:13:20,016
- [Girl] Uncle Rob.

1025
01:13:20,050 --> 01:13:22,052
- Can you feel the love?

1026
01:13:23,088 --> 01:13:27,023
Can you feel the love
this Christmas morning?

1027
01:13:27,057 --> 01:13:28,611
- Ho ho ho.

1028
01:13:28,645 --> 01:13:30,475
- He just wanted to to AWOL.

1029
01:13:30,509 --> 01:13:32,235
He just wanted
to disappear and...

1030
01:13:34,410 --> 01:13:36,377
Didn't want us to
see this side of him.

1031
01:13:37,827 --> 01:13:42,832
He wanted to protect us from
that bad side of who he was.

1032
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:44,868
But no, he was very ashamed.

1033
01:13:45,800 --> 01:13:47,664
I know, you could
see it in his face.

1034
01:13:47,699 --> 01:13:48,769
That was just
something in his eyes,

1035
01:13:48,803 --> 01:13:51,461
you could see the sadness
when he would come home.

1036
01:13:51,496 --> 01:13:53,290
And that would be so
heartbreaking.

1037
01:13:54,119 --> 01:13:56,432
"Dear disease, you have
taken away my freedom

1038

01:14:20,041 --> 01:14:24,390
"You took away my ability to
keep promises

1047
01:14:24,425 --> 01:14:26,531
"by running my will.

1048
01:14:26,565 --> 01:14:29,499
"At times you took me away
from people that truly love me.

1049
01:14:30,742 --> 01:14:34,297
"You took away from
me our twins birthday.

1050
01:14:34,331 --> 01:14:36,920
"You took away from me,
Christmas of 2002.

1051
01:14:37,818 --> 01:14:41,131
"You took a lot from me
but that is about to stop.

1052
01:14:41,166 --> 01:14:42,305
"To change."

1053
01:14:44,134 --> 01:14:47,517
that's when it was that he
ended up going to Florida,

1054
01:14:47,552 --> 01:14:48,622
to the Karen Foundation.

1055
01:14:49,485 --> 01:14:53,074
That was the rehab
that really helped him.

1056
01:14:53,799 --> 01:14:54,800
Really clicked.

1057
01:14:55,870 --> 01:14:58,528
He was doing the
halfway house part of it.

1058
01:14:59,771 --> 01:15:02,670
[ambulance sirens]

1059
01:15:54,964 --> 01:15:58,968
- He was arrested,
tasered three times.

1060
01:16:02,937 --> 01:16:04,180
Yeah, three times.

1061
01:16:04,214 --> 01:16:06,492
Soiled himself,
was thrown in jail,

1062
01:16:06,527 --> 01:16:08,425
got accused for trying
to clog the plumping

1063
01:16:08,460 --> 01:16:09,530
but it was his...

1064
01:16:11,152 --> 01:16:12,809
He was trying to
rinse out his...

1065
01:16:13,776 --> 01:16:14,604
Boxers.

1066
01:16:17,020 --> 01:16:21,231
Not one of his greatest
highlights in his life,

1067
01:16:21,266 --> 01:16:22,198
that's for sure,

1068
01:16:22,232 --> 01:16:23,958
it was a terrible time.

1069
01:16:23,993 --> 01:16:26,271
- When Bob was drinking,

1070
01:16:33,036 --> 01:16:36,453
he was a different
person, he wasn't Bob.

1071
01:16:37,731 --> 01:16:39,111
I think when he drank,

1072
01:16:39,146 --> 01:16:41,873
he turned off that family
switch.

1073
01:17:20,290 --> 01:17:22,603
- I don't think I've ever
seen him that messed up.

1074
01:17:22,638 --> 01:17:27,643
It was crazy, he had crazy
eyes and the way he was acting.

1075
01:17:29,368 --> 01:17:30,197
He was flippin out.

1076
01:17:31,405 --> 01:17:33,131
He had the butcher
block of knives.

1077
01:17:34,650 --> 01:17:36,962
I had called my father and
I didn't know what to do.

1078
01:17:36,997 --> 01:17:39,447
And he's like, you need
to hang up and call 911.

1079
01:17:42,209 --> 01:17:44,832
- He was just grabbin'
things and throwing them

1080
01:17:45,695 --> 01:17:46,696
and there was just no
getting through to him.

1081
01:17:46,731 --> 01:17:48,767
Say, slow down,
you're ruining your house.

1082
01:17:48,802 --> 01:17:50,217
You're gonna hurt somebody,
slow the hell down.

1083
01:17:54,842 --> 01:17:56,223
And finally the cops came

1084
01:17:57,880 --> 01:17:59,433
and grabbed him and
toned him down.

1085
01:18:11,376 --> 01:18:13,378
- He was pepper sprayed
on the front porch.

1086
01:18:14,206 --> 01:18:16,381
I remember seeing that.

1087
01:18:23,146 --> 01:18:24,941
I was angry with the
police for taking him away.

1088
01:18:24,976 --> 01:18:29,290
I didn't understand, he's
my dad, he's my superhero,

1089
01:18:29,325 --> 01:18:30,947
he can't be doing
anything wrong.

1090
01:18:32,915 --> 01:18:35,676
[ominous melody]

1091
01:18:41,095 --> 01:18:43,511
- I packed up the kids
and took off for a while.

1092
01:18:45,237 --> 01:18:49,690
- When they had that
little trial period there,

1093
01:18:49,725 --> 01:18:51,002
maybe that scared him.

1094
01:18:52,589 --> 01:18:53,729
Maybe he thought he was gonna
lose her.

1095
01:18:53,763 --> 01:18:56,110
The thought of losing her
would have devastated him.

1096
01:18:58,147 --> 01:19:00,597
- We came back
within a couple of weeks

1097
01:19:00,632 --> 01:19:02,807
and I think that's when
we buckled down

1098
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:06,776
and started coming
up with some plans,

1099
01:19:06,811 --> 01:19:08,744
as far as what
needed to be done next.

1100
01:19:09,848 --> 01:19:14,163
He did see that his actions,

1101
01:19:14,197 --> 01:19:16,061
how they were
affecting the kids.

1102
01:19:18,788 --> 01:19:21,722
That's when he was
gettin' his shit together.

1103
01:19:23,344 --> 01:19:25,036
That's when he was
starting to be more present

1104
01:19:25,070 --> 01:19:30,075
and more involved,
not missing things.

1105
01:19:30,351 --> 01:19:31,628
More responsible.

1106
01:19:35,909 --> 01:19:38,083
It's a lot of things
I miss about that guy.

1107
01:19:39,153 --> 01:19:40,189
Yeah, he didn't care.

1108
01:19:40,223 --> 01:19:42,778
No concept of time,
that was Bob.

1109
01:19:42,812 --> 01:19:46,195
But him walking down the hall,

1110
01:19:46,229 --> 01:19:48,853
and I could picture
it in our old house.

1111
01:19:48,887 --> 01:19:50,199
He would start up Brogan's room

1112
01:19:50,233 --> 01:19:51,303
and he would say,

1113
01:19:52,546 --> 01:19:53,547
well they could be sound asleep

1114
01:19:53,581 --> 01:19:55,376
or they can be reading
a book, didn't matter.

1115
01:19:56,136 --> 01:19:58,345
Good night, Brogita chiquita.

1116
01:19:58,379 --> 01:20:01,831
Brogita chaquita banana, give
her a kiss.

1117
01:20:01,866 --> 01:20:03,281
I love you.

1118
01:20:03,315 --> 01:20:08,320
Then he would go to T-rows
or TT-Lee, Tierny Rose.

1119
01:20:09,045 --> 01:20:10,909
Have to announce his little
goofy name

1120
01:20:11,807 --> 01:20:12,635
that he would have for them

1121
01:20:16,881 --> 01:20:20,401
and same thing, I love
you and a kiss good night.

1122
01:20:20,436 --> 01:20:21,506
And into Ducky's room
with his famous duck call

1123
01:20:21,540 --> 01:20:22,196
and give the the I love
you and a kiss good night.

1124
01:20:35,313 --> 01:20:37,867
And the last one
would always be,

1125
01:20:37,902 --> 01:20:38,764
Jack my boy...

1126
01:20:41,871 --> 01:20:43,666
And the same, I love you,
goodnight.

1127
01:20:44,736 --> 01:20:47,912
Would always come in,
Dan Dan, Baby, Dan Dan.

1128
01:20:49,085 --> 01:20:50,431
And I would get the same thing.

1129
01:20:50,466 --> 01:20:52,502
So whether he's working on
the car or the motorcycle,

1130
01:20:52,537 --> 01:20:54,297
putzing around in the garage.

1131
01:20:54,332 --> 01:20:56,541
Or going into the kitchen
to make some toast

1132
01:20:57,956 --> 01:20:59,958
or one of his favorite late
night snacks.

1133
01:20:59,993 --> 01:21:02,374
We all got the
goodnights, I love you.

1134
01:21:02,409 --> 01:21:03,617
And then he'd go
off and do his thing

1135
01:21:03,651 --> 01:21:04,860
or he'd just go to bed.

1136
01:21:09,830 --> 01:21:10,658
Okay.

1137
01:21:12,937 --> 01:21:14,524
Yeah, that one always gets me.

1138
01:21:16,802 --> 01:21:18,839
Okay, pull it together,
let's go.

1139
01:21:27,572 --> 01:21:30,816
[mellow ominous piano]

1140
01:21:35,614 --> 01:21:37,478
When we left the house
at around one o'clock

1141
01:21:37,513 --> 01:21:39,066
it was a hot day.

1142
01:21:39,101 --> 01:21:42,069
And we took off, heading east,

1143
01:21:42,104 --> 01:21:44,037
we were further down the lake

1144
01:21:44,071 --> 01:21:45,935
and we were coming
in this direction.

1145
01:21:45,970 --> 01:21:47,799
Coming here in
Belle River for lunch.

1146
01:21:49,870 --> 01:21:51,389
There was a noise
coming from the boat.

1147
01:21:53,460 --> 01:21:57,774
And he was six foot four
and 200 and whatever

1148
01:21:57,809 --> 01:22:00,881
bent over on a 95 degree day
over the side of the boat,

1149
01:22:00,916 --> 01:22:02,020
working his way.

1150
01:22:02,055 --> 01:22:06,749
And he was mid boat,
when he just collapsed,

1151
01:22:08,613 --> 01:22:10,063
he was on his knees.

1152
01:22:10,097 --> 01:22:10,926
That's when I could see his face

1153
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:12,375
and I could see
his lips going...

1154
01:22:13,204 --> 01:22:15,516
His lips were black, his
lips kept changing color

1155
01:22:15,551 --> 01:22:17,380
and his tongue, and I
could see that.

1156
01:22:19,141 --> 01:22:20,936
And they laid him
down and my stepfather,

1157
01:22:20,970 --> 01:22:23,973
is a police officer, he
started to perform CPR

1158
01:22:24,008 --> 01:22:26,389
doing the chest compressions
and mouth to mouth.

1159
01:22:27,804 --> 01:22:30,048
I immediately called 911.

1160
01:22:30,083 --> 01:22:35,088
And I was disoriented, I
couldn't see where we were.

1161
01:22:35,122 --> 01:22:36,917
I knew we were
past the sand bar.

1162
01:22:36,952 --> 01:22:38,884
I didn't know how far.

1163
01:22:38,919 --> 01:22:40,921
It was hard to pin
point where we were.

1164
01:22:41,957 --> 01:22:43,924
[seagulls cawing]

1165
01:22:43,959 --> 01:22:46,616
[ominous music]

1166
01:22:51,725 --> 01:22:53,244
- His face was completely blue.

1167
01:22:54,107 --> 01:22:58,732
He was purple and blue
and that's why I said,

1168
01:22:59,664 --> 01:23:01,252
Dad I love you.

1169
01:23:01,286 --> 01:23:03,461
Because I wanted to
be able to remember

1170
01:23:03,495 --> 01:23:06,015
what my last words were to him.

1171
01:23:06,050 --> 01:23:09,053
And I just remember saying,
baby, where are the keys?

1172
01:23:09,087 --> 01:23:10,330
I can't find the keys.

1173
01:23:10,364 --> 01:23:11,987
And he managed
to touch the seat,

1174
01:23:13,057 --> 01:23:14,575
so I knew the keys were
tucked in behind the seat,

1175
01:23:14,610 --> 01:23:15,783
they must have fallen back.

1176
01:23:15,818 --> 01:23:18,648
I grabbed the keys and I
didn't...

1177
01:23:18,683 --> 01:23:19,546
I only started the one engine,

1178
01:23:20,443 --> 01:23:21,444
it was a jet boat,
I didn't start both.

1179
01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:23,481
I couldn't understand
why we weren't going,

1180
01:23:23,515 --> 01:23:26,346
then Kai made it to the boat

1181
01:23:28,796 --> 01:23:30,384
and that was my first
introduction to Kai.

1182
01:23:31,247 --> 01:23:32,731
He jumped on the boat and
I got onto his jet ski

1183
01:23:32,766 --> 01:23:34,630
and he brought the
boat in to shore.

1184
01:23:34,664 --> 01:23:36,977
- I went to them and
asked them, what's wrong?

1185
01:23:38,841 --> 01:23:40,532
Dani says, can you
bring the boat in?

1186
01:23:42,983 --> 01:23:45,399
[ominous music]

1187
01:23:45,434 --> 01:23:48,264
[water splashing]

1188
01:23:49,300 --> 01:23:50,611
I just remember screaming
for the paramedics

1189
01:23:50,646 --> 01:23:51,992
and running to the road.

1190
01:23:53,545 --> 01:23:57,480
And flagging down the
paramedics to get to the shore

1191
01:23:57,515 --> 01:23:59,068
and help me with Bob.

1192
01:23:59,103 --> 01:24:02,830
Get them to the dock and then
to get my kids off the boat

1193
01:24:02,865 --> 01:24:03,935
and everybody out of the way.

1194
01:24:06,144 --> 01:24:11,149
I just remember coming on
shore, rushing to the road,

1195
01:24:11,460 --> 01:24:13,634
getting the paramedics
to the back

1196
01:24:13,669 --> 01:24:16,672
and then clearing off the boat.

1197
01:24:16,706 --> 01:24:20,193
Getting the kids off, placing
them over by the fence area.

1198
01:24:21,608 --> 01:24:24,197
[somber piano]

1199
01:24:29,133 --> 01:24:30,479
We made it to the hospital.

1200
01:24:34,103 --> 01:24:35,863
All I could think of was
the drive to the hospital

1201
01:24:35,898 --> 01:24:38,866
was calling up people
to get my kids around.

1202
01:24:39,936 --> 01:24:42,215
I had Decland at a
sleepover birthday party.

1203
01:24:43,940 --> 01:24:45,252
And Brogan was at that new job.

1204
01:24:45,287 --> 01:24:48,738
I was so afraid that they
were going to hear something

1205
01:24:48,773 --> 01:24:49,912
on the radio.

1206
01:24:49,946 --> 01:24:51,638
So had to get them rounded up

1207
01:24:51,672 --> 01:24:53,088
and get everybody home.

1208
01:24:55,952 --> 01:24:57,368
Just keep them protected.

1209
01:25:00,509 --> 01:25:02,442
This whole time I didn't
know that Bob had died.

1210
01:25:02,476 --> 01:25:04,444
I hadn't been told yet.

1211
01:25:04,478 --> 01:25:07,171
And they called us,
my mom and I,

1212
01:25:07,205 --> 01:25:08,620
into a separate room.

1213
01:25:08,655 --> 01:25:09,690
And the doctor came...

1214
01:25:14,350 --> 01:25:17,077
The doctor came in and told
me that he didn't make it.

1215
01:25:21,150 --> 01:25:22,807
- I was walking upstairs
and my phone went off

1216
01:25:22,841 --> 01:25:25,706
and someone said, I'm so
sorry to hear about your dad.

1217
01:25:25,741 --> 01:25:28,226
And I was like, what
are you talking about?

1218
01:25:28,261 --> 01:25:31,229
And they're like, I'm
sorry about your dad,

1219
01:25:31,264 --> 01:25:34,163
I'm sorry to hear about him,
I'm sorry that he passed away.

1220
01:25:34,198 --> 01:25:35,475
And I responded
like, he's not dead,

1221
01:25:35,509 --> 01:25:37,028
he's just in the hospital,
he's gonna be fine,

1222
01:25:37,062 --> 01:25:38,478
he's not dead.

1223
01:25:38,512 --> 01:25:41,205
Because the news outlets
heard about it before we did.

1224
01:25:41,239 --> 01:25:43,103
So people started texting us.

1225
01:25:45,623 --> 01:25:49,834
- I remember walking in and
all of them in a little huddle

1226
01:25:49,868 --> 01:25:52,043
in the family room
around the coffee table.

1227
01:25:53,044 --> 01:25:55,495
They all looked up
at me when I walked in.

1228
01:25:55,529 --> 01:25:59,188
And all I could say was,
you're dad loved you so much.

1229
01:26:04,297 --> 01:26:05,988
And I couldn't get out anymore.

1230
01:26:09,716 --> 01:26:11,614
- Your dad loved you very much.

1231
01:26:11,649 --> 01:26:12,477
And...

1232
01:26:17,827 --> 01:26:20,071
But they couldn't do
anything else to help them,

1233
01:26:20,105 --> 01:26:21,037
to help him,

1234
01:26:23,281 --> 01:26:25,490
That's when at that
moment we all just broke.

1235
01:26:26,733 --> 01:26:30,185
I went out back and I
started crying outside.

1236
01:26:30,219 --> 01:26:33,222
Everyone was just crying
everywhere.

1237
01:26:34,119 --> 01:26:35,328
My cousin was there

1238
01:26:35,362 --> 01:26:36,605
and we were all just like,
there's no way.

1239
01:26:37,778 --> 01:26:39,677
There's no way that happened.

1240
01:26:39,711 --> 01:26:42,611
He was such a big...

1241
01:26:44,578 --> 01:26:45,786
He was so full of life.

1242
01:26:45,821 --> 01:26:46,787
And he was just such a
big presence in our lives,

1243
01:26:47,926 --> 01:26:50,308
that just to think that,
oh he's gone like that.

1244
01:26:53,725 --> 01:26:54,899
- That was July fifth, 2010.

1245
01:26:56,176 --> 01:26:58,420
[sniffles]

1246
01:26:59,283 --> 01:27:02,803
[somber celestial sounds]

1247
01:27:21,028 --> 01:27:23,997
- There was a
massive heart attack.

1248
01:27:24,031 --> 01:27:25,757
It wasn't very good.

1249
01:27:25,792 --> 01:27:27,034
Not good at all.

1250
01:27:28,312 --> 01:27:29,554
It was such a shocker.

1251
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:39,219
- We did everything together.

1252
01:27:39,254 --> 01:27:41,497
We're only 13 months apart.

1253
01:27:42,636 --> 01:27:43,879
He was someone that,

1254
01:27:45,329 --> 01:27:49,333
you always see him as
invincible, I guess.

1255
01:27:49,367 --> 01:27:51,576
That's why it was such
a shock when he died.

1256
01:27:52,991 --> 01:27:56,271
He always seemed
to survive anything.

1257
01:27:57,272 --> 01:28:01,276
But [mumbles] it's still
hard to believe.

1258
01:28:45,423 --> 01:28:49,772
- I was sad that he wasn't
there for me graduating college

1259
01:28:49,807 --> 01:28:50,635
or for my prom.

1260
01:28:51,947 --> 01:28:54,639
And I know a wedding,
one day if that happens.

1261
01:28:54,674 --> 01:28:56,538
That's definitely gonna be hard.

1262
01:28:58,333 --> 01:29:01,612
'Cause there's no one there
to walk you down the isle

1263
01:29:01,646 --> 01:29:05,547
or to have that first
father daughter dance.

1264
01:29:07,583 --> 01:29:10,690
I know that in the future
and if I'm having babies

1265
01:29:10,724 --> 01:29:12,347
and he doesn't get to meet them.

1266
01:29:14,279 --> 01:29:15,488
They don't get to understand

1267
01:29:15,522 --> 01:29:17,869
how cool of a person my dad was.

1268
01:29:17,904 --> 01:29:20,907
Those are definitely things
that, yeah,

1269
01:29:20,941 --> 01:29:22,460
I miss him being here.

1270
01:29:24,980 --> 01:29:25,808
- You're just like, wow.

1271
01:29:26,809 --> 01:29:29,398
I wish I had him to
give me advice on this

1272
01:29:29,433 --> 01:29:30,779
or I wish I could have a hug.

1273
01:29:30,813 --> 01:29:34,403
Or I wish I could just
heard him laugh again.

1274
01:29:34,438 --> 01:29:36,336
There's certain things
you don't know

1275
01:29:37,751 --> 01:29:38,821
and you expect that you
would need him to help you

1276
01:29:38,856 --> 01:29:42,100
grow throughout certain
situations in your life.

1277
01:29:43,067 --> 01:29:44,137
And every day's different.

1278
01:29:44,171 --> 01:29:46,415
Every day you can miss,
you think about him more,

1279
01:29:46,450 --> 01:29:47,761
you miss him more.

1280
01:29:47,796 --> 01:29:50,143
And sometimes it's always gonna
be in the back of your head,

1281
01:29:50,177 --> 01:29:51,869
but some days it's just,

1282
01:29:51,903 --> 01:29:54,596
wow, I wish I had him here
to get me through this day.

1283
01:29:58,841 --> 01:30:03,846
- Having it absent is
definitely different sometimes.

1284
01:30:04,399 --> 01:30:06,055
But then you look
around and you're like,

1285
01:30:06,090 --> 01:30:09,438
you know what, he would
be proud of me regardless.

1286
01:30:09,473 --> 01:30:11,267
Just because he's
not here physically,

1287
01:30:11,302 --> 01:30:13,304
doesn't mean he's
not looking down on us.

1288
01:30:13,338 --> 01:30:14,995
Because I think he is.

1289
01:30:16,341 --> 01:30:20,173
[celestial bells and humming]

1290
01:30:44,542 --> 01:30:47,442
[orchestral music]
