He came. He saw. He hit ‘em right there in the jaw.
Every time, and I mean EVERY TIME, LaGarrette Blount touched the ball in the 2010 Rose Bowl I started rapping. It was just too easy. Who would have thought that less than two months later QB Jeremiah Masoli would be accused of stealing laptops, and their backfield counterpart, LaMichael James, PAC-10 Freshman of the Year, would be arrested on misdemeanor domestic charges of menacing, strangulation and assault?
(You heard right, strangulation is only a misdemeanor. This opens up a world of possibilities to the criminally-minded. I was always under the impression that cutting off someone’s air passage was an attempt to kill them, but apparently, it’s just a bad way to get your point across.)
James was arrested earlier today by the Springfield Police Department and booked into Lane County Jail. The Sherriff’s Dept. website lists him as in custody. No details of what transpired have yet been released.
Is there something in the water around Eugene? The Willamette River?
From a fresh perspective, I’d like to suggest that we’re a few social studies shy of discovering something inherently violent about names beginning with “La” and followed immediately by a capital letter. And then of course, there’s the issue of the recent change in the football regime at the University of Oregon — from Mike Bellotti to Chip Kelly. While I have plenty to say on the topic, I’ll save it for the next time one of Kelly’s athletes does something really stupid.
