When the frightening story about Barry Alvarez and one of his former Wisconsin Badgers football players first came to light, I have to admit that my sadness and sympathies were divided.
I felt terrible for Alvarez and his family, whose lives were threatened in a series of telephone messages left at Alvarez’s campus office in recent months.
To know there is someone that angry, that willful, that violent in your life has to shake you to the core.
