Heisman

The NCAA, especially when it comes to men's football, is a bunch of sanctimonious hypocrites. Old, rich, white men out of touch with reality.

Reggie Bush was the best college player in 2005. If the NCAA rule he broke had given him some unfair advantage, I could see removing the award, but no one is claiming that. These young men deserve to be paid as the entertainers they are (spare me the "student athlete" rhetoric). They generate billions of dollars and can't accept pocket money.

O.J. Simpson and Billy Cannon both have retained their Heisman Trophy. Human cesspools like Jerramy Stevens slime their way through college and the NFL.

The truth is that the Heisman Trophy is a joke in my mind. Like the Pro Bowl, it's mostly a popularity contest. Gino Toretta? Charlie Ward? Danny Wuerffel? Chris Weinke?

Give me a break.

Nothing you said is wrong. But, no one took Bush's award away...he gave it back. The Heisman is not part of the NCAA, it is part of a club run by old white men who sit around smoking whatever and asking some hand picked newspaper writers to vote on who the best player is. So, how can that work?

GO SAINTS!!!
