Great job, Tim.  Looks like a lot of work went into that...Good stuff.  Now dig up some dirt on all the other 2012 heisman candidates.


Uh, anyone got any dirt on Collin Klein? 


His underwear isn't all it's cracked up to be.  Oh, I thought you said "Calvin."

My two solutions:

1)  Pay 'em.  All of them.  Cut them a check for $25k right before training camp.  But, they're responsible for all of their own bills - tuition, rent, bills, food, booze, personal trainers, coaching instruction, etc.  95% of them would be broke by October 1st.

2)  Get rid of the rule that says they have to go to college.  I'd love to see Manziel flounder through an NFL training camp at 18 years old.  Very few of these players could make the immediate jump.  They need the system, and they'd figure that out pretty damn quick.

It's amazing that there are serious conversations among serious people in this nation's leadership as to whether bloggers get first amendment press protections, when time and time again it is bloggers who are actually researching records and telling the story in a manner that once upon a time was considered journalism.  . . .


News Flash . . . The First Amendment protects right of all U.S. citizens to express their viewpoints whether or not they are part of the old media, the new media or no media at all . . . even C Money!

To wit: 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Note that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are separate grants of rights, and both are specifically mentioned.

The senior Senator from Illinois isn't so sure.

These rights are also not absolute and have limits.
