NEWPORT BEACH — Alix Marinovich sat in a Chevrolet Tahoe outside her mom's home Tuesday afternoon, pondering how life had become so dark for her estranged husband, former USC star and Raiders quarterback Todd Marinovich.
Four days earlier, the 47-year-old football star was cited after he was found naked with marijuana and suspected methamphetamine in the backyard of an Irvine home on Bluecoat, a quiet residential street, police said.
