No.
I know a few guys who had arms, legs, penises, faces etc. blown off, plus I know a couple of people (one of my oldest friends) who are dying of incurable disease, who would gladly have traded places with poor old Jeret Peterson.
I think they would say something like “Hey Speedy, if you don’t like your little battle with depression and alcohol, then before you willfully cash in your own life, I will be glad to take it over.”
So, no. He was a weanie.
