Reggie Bush, NFL Draft, and Barry Bonds
The NFL Draft is coming up, Reggie Bush is in trouble, and MLB will not celebrate when Barry Bonds passes Babe Ruth. I just had to sneak an entry....
Reggie Bush should be celebrating right now. He's going to probably be the number one pick of the draft this Saturday, and he's about to get a HUGE payday. He's not celebrating though, as apparently Bush's parents were living in a house that they possibly didn't own. San Diego businessman Michael Michaels (Yes, that's his real name) owned the $750,000 home. Bush claims his parents leased the home like everyone else, and he has no knowledge of the deal. There is talk of taking Bush's Heisman trophy away. I think it would be wrong to rake the Hiesman away from Bush, because they didn't take O.J. Simpson's Heisman away. They didn't take away many other athletes Heisman's after stories came out that they cheated through school, etc. More needs to be found out on this story before we start discussing about taking away Reggie Bush's Heisman award.
This is going to sound very unlike a sport fan, but am I the only one that doesn't love the NFL Draft? I'll watch it on Saturday if I have nothing better to do, but I'm not going to postpone my day because it's on. It takes the full 15 minutes to pick, and you can get just as much out of it if you read the results. I mean, after the second round does anybody really pay attention anyway? It is a crapshoot, and history shows a lot of great players, like Tom Brady get picked late, but do we really need to see Mel Kiper read a statsheet for two straight days? I don't think so....
Bud Selig has said that baseball will not celebrate Barry Bonds when he passes Babe Ruth. I know Selig is trying to get onto the good side of most baseball fans, but he needs to realize a whole era is in question, not just Bonds. He celebrated Barry when he hit number 73, when he passed Willie Mays, and when he hit home run number 700. He knew about steroids then, but chose to make money instead of telling the truth. Now that steroid stuff is out, Selig is the good guy and isn't celebrating Barry. Selig isn't the good guy, he's a total hypocrite.
I totally love the hair though. (note the sarcasm)

OMG Alex . . . I just now heard on the news that a drug manufacturer is starting to test a birth control pill for MALES to take. I guess it's only a matter of time before Selig starts ordering more extensive testing for players with no kids, eh? lol

MLB not celebrating Bonds passing Ruth has nothing to do with steroids. It's that Babe Ruth does not hold a record--Hank Aaron does. Sure, Babe has most homers for a lefty, but why celebrate that?

Gotta go with you all the way on this article, Alex!
I even read it twice to make sure there wasn't something I could argue with you about, but nope . . . came up empty.
1) What does Bush's parents living in a home (even if illegally - yet to be disclosed) have to do with his Heisman and the fact that he's an extremely talented player? I don't see the connection but I guess the oft ill-advised media thinks there's something to it, eh?
2) I don't watch the NFL draft for the same reasons you don't. I've got lots better things to do than watch a bunch of guys standing around talking on phones and sifting through piles of paperwork. I'll just look at the results to see who got whom and the list of winners and losers.
3) Speaking of losers (lol) - Selig really is playing a double standard here with his comments. While I can't say I disagree with the investigation -- I think Bud Boy should keep his comments to himself and let this thing play out in the investigation.
Not one of your better closeout pics, but liked the sarcasm. Is that a real person? He looks almost like one of the figures in a wax museum . . . hair and all. lol
Nice to see ya back online. Keep Rockin' Grip!

And its not easy to take a player's award away from him when he was found not guilty (I know it was a crap verdict, but they'd ve sued for trying)
