So Very Angry at Bush. No, the Other One.

Reggie Bush, former Univerity of Southern California football player, is in one hell of a mess.  What is worse, his reported actions could impact the entire current team.

It is alleged that while still a college player, Bush and his family accepted over $100,000 in gifts (read bribes from sports agents) which is the #1 DO NOT DO THIS rule for college footballers.

I am very, very angry.  I have been a huge fan of this amazing athlete, I have loved watching him play.  If these alleged crimes are proven, I don't think I will ever be able to enjoy watching him play again.  Stripping him of his Heisman is one thing - he deserves that if he did violate the rules of the game- but the fact that the entire USC program could be punished is something I hope preys on his mind for years to come.  He had his time, and now he's sitting pretty on more money than he possibly needs playing for the pros.  However, the men coming up behind him who worked to join this National Championship level program, will be punished and not have the opportunity to play for the National Championship if the worst comes to pass.  Possibly for several years.  

I would hope that Reggie Bush is ashamed of himself and feels some sense of the disgrace he could bring to his former coach Pete Carroll, to his former teammates, and frankly to the entire Trojan family who have done nothing but adore him and support him and be proud of his accomplishments.  It's not just about the money, Reggie, it's also about the pride in yourself.  Didn't you even listen to Mr. Carroll? 

Such a selfish, needless thing to have done.

Okay, to come down from the last highly crabby and serious post, I offer this gem from The Register that gave me a good belly laugh.

Witchdoctor orders Serb to have sex with hedgehog

A Serbian man who went to a witchdoctor in search of a cure for premature ejaculation rather foolishly took the shaman's advice, viz: have sex with a hedgehog.

You know the rest: Zoran Nikolovic, 35, from Belgrade, ended up in the hospital with severe lacerations to his wedding tackle, according to Ananova. A hospital spokesman said: "The animal was apparently unhurt and the patient came off much worse from the encounter. We have managed to repair the damage to his penis."

We contacted a member of the International Association of Witchdoctors this morning for a comment. He told us: "This demonstrates the dangers in consulting unlicenced witchdoctors. We advise anyone with ejaculatory disfunction to consult our list of approved practitioners."

On the matter of premature ejaculation, he added: "Mix one teaspoon of powdered ocelot spleen with Red Bull under a full moon. Drink one hour before attempting penetration while sitting in a pentacle formed by toad skulls. Then, when you're on the job, think about the mother-in-law and filling in tax returns." ®


Thank GOD for the professional Witchdoctors!
