Back in the late 90′s, my parents ran a small retail store. One day I was working there with my Mom, and the last customers of the day were this couple. They paid by check, and had the last name of Isringhausen. This was right after Jason had injury and attitude issues that caused him lots of problems. I asked the couple if they were related to him, and they immediately rolled their eyes… turns out, it was the dude’s aunt and uncle, and apparently were a bit embarrassed by Jason’s shenanigans. I think they actually called him a knucklehead at one point.

So yeah, back then even his family pretty much thought he was going to wash out. At least he was able to right the ship and have a long career.
