Reggie, pull a reggin move

I had a vision the other day while playing Madden 11. I scored with Reggie Bush, and he did the Heisman pose, like Desmond Howard back in the day. How great would it be if the man who who smeared egg all over the faces of the distinguished Heisman Trust committee breaks a play for a touchdown on Monday Night Football and proceeds to show them what he really thinks?
I put Bush's scoring probability at 80%, considering the sad state of the 49ers and taking into account that rather large chip Bush must have wedged under those shoulder pads. Having been merely a non-scholarship athlete in college, participating in a non-revenue generating sport at a Division 3 school, my opinion on NCAA rules is a bit naive, although it has been colored in recent years by the input of the two friends I have who played D1 football. What would be so wrong with paying college players based on the NCAA mandated hour requirements each sport has. Clock the hours, get a check for minimum wage in whatever state the school is in. That way, guys can take their girlfriends out, or order pizza at 11:59pm without having to take envelopes from shady agent reps. Just my 3 cents...

In other news, if you missed the summer's Rock the Bells concert, you missed a seminal hip hop experience. I was on CPT, so I missed KRS-One, Rakim and The Clipse. But I did see A Tribe Called Quest, Murs & 9th Wonder & the whole Wu-Tang Clan. Good times. I know that I would have tried to see Miles Davis perform if he had played near by, but I just couldn't understand the great numbers of young (under 25) people bouncing to songs that came out before they hit grade school.

Yesterday was a bad day for Falcons all around. The youth league team I coach, Sacramento Jr. Falcons took their first loss of the season to the Folsom Jr. Bulldogs. Then we went, as a team, to the Holy Bowl and saw Christian Brothers' J.V. surrender a late lead and give up a tie, before watching the heavily favored varsity Falcons go down to an emotional Marauder squad whose seniors were winless versus their Oak Park rivals.

More later...
