Ok, I am a PSU fan, so before I give credit to this hit, let me pause for a moment so Bucks can let this marinate…

I had to hear all these jokes about JoePa wearing diapers and having accidents. I can’t tell you how belligerent OSU fans are. When they won that championship vs Miami, my phone rang all night and answering machine was full of drunken retards. I will say this though. I like and repect Tressell, and that Pryor is nice. It is scary what OSU will do with that kid. I actually felt sorry for him…for 30 secs.

Ok, enough of that. My buddy Jug sent this YouTube link below last Friday. I told him I was going to post it, but only after the game this weekend (lol). I went to Ohio State and am not a Buck fan, but my goodness you have to give respect to this hit. This is #21 Zack Dumas in 1989. I guarantee you will replay it more than once. Make sure to check out the Reggie Bush one too. Wow!

My son recently attended the TO Football Camp. As my friends know, I am a Niner fan living in Dallas. It is tough at times because people worship football here…especially the Longhorns and the Cowboys. Texans truly believe that hole was cut in the stadium so God could watch his favorite team play. Like God can’t see through metal, huh? Hasn’t developed that power yet. lol.

In any case, regardless of team, I have always been a TO fan. I argue with some of my older ex-coworkers back home about celebrations and whether or not that is good sportsmanship. How I wouldn’t necessarily let the kids who I coach do it, I still enjoy watching those on college and professional levels, and I don’t see anything wrong with it (lol). It brings excitement to the game, and from a defensive mindset like mine…if you don’t like it, then stop it! It really is that simple. I bring that up because TO still has my favorite celebration to date…the infamous star. Funny thing is Cowboy fans get hype talking about how G. Teague hit him, but at that point did it really matter? That was the ultimate disrespect, but since I dislike the Cowboys, it was wonderful. Let’s take a moment to pause in remembrance of a former Niner…

Ok, so back to the camp. I think it was cool to do this for the local kids. They had a blast out in the heat, and my son just loves the gift bag he received. Some of those kids were unreal. This one kid ran a 4.3 40. I was up at the top of the stands, and before they even called out the time you knew he was special because this kid was ROLLIN’. I am not the type of person who gets star struck, but I will say that dag on Marion Barber looks just like he does on the cover of my son’s video game NFL Street 2…lol.

The first day I went solo, but the second day I took my wife and other sons with me (that littlest one is something else I am telling you). I won’t post all the photos, but here are a few I took…

* Here are some additional photos from the camp from the professional photographers

Today is an official, I am not trying to do nothing at work day. Going through a little storm right now, so trying to truck forward and let life continue without missing a beat or letting it distract me. The morning already started off funky, so as I checked my BB on the walk to work, I was expecting some ignorant work email (because apparently stupid is in the air this week). To my surprise my inbox was relatively sane, so I proceeded to check my personal address. I saw that a friend of mine in OH sent me an invite for fantasy football. I just couldn’t believe it was that time of the year again. Like most men in this country around football season, I am an avid fan of the sport and get my panties in a bunch over yards, tds, tackles, the whole nine (pun intended).

For those who don’t understand Fantasy Football, I guess I could try to explain…but then again that could get lengthy. If you want to know, voice your opinion and I may dedicate a blog to it. Back to work though. I make it in on time (hip hip ho…) and plan out my day. Aside from coaching, I am sitting there thinking about what the new fantasy football season holds, new rules, and possibly implementing a trophy this year (yea, it is that serious).

I shot an email over to some friends and had a little debate over whether or not participating in Fantasy Football leagues with payouts is gambling (I believe the latter). Still in gridiron mode, I began looking for equipment for my son, and I ran across this Under Armour cup. Never really thought about fashion consciousness and an athletic cup in the same sentence before, but I must admit that I am fond of this design. Maybe I can start wearing one to work? Or better yet, I could get one for the bedroom. Doesn’t it look like it constrains a caged beast?

Will you protect this house? I will, I will, Under Armour, HUNH!! - [click to watch]

I love that commercial man!

My buddy sent me this clip of this lil kid they dub the next Reggie Bush. I don’t really care for the offense they run (wing) even though it is effective. My mentor and I share the same philosophy (which I will save for another post). That being said, don’t get me wrong. Regardless of offense, this little kid has raw talent!! His cuts are so precise.

For my saints out there, forgive me for the profanity (music). Just turn the volume down.
