Yes, tell us all abou how to do it, Mr. Gandi-was-a-scrub-at-the-DMN and never made it in this business.

How's that uncovering the 9/11 hoax thing working out for you?

Internet arguments 101....when in doubt, say you have a lot of money since most people won't know any better anyway.

I don't know who you are gand, though some on here appear to. But you are saying reporters aren't doing their jobs properly when the caught a big-name athlete breaking the rules because they didn't go get a story you would rather read? (Asking you to report it yourself is apparently out of the question.)

What USC did with its bowl money has very little to do with what Reggie Bush did. Is there some NCAA rule about how universities must use bowl money? I've never heard of one, but if not, then they can do whatever they want with it.

I understand there is a moral issue here with what USC does with its money and with Bush's situation. But there are rules. If somebody high profile breaks them, it is a story. If you don't get that, well, I get the impression you are out of the business anyway... exactly as you should be.

For the record gand, the only school that gets 100 percent of its bowl payout is Notre Dame (and maybe the other shitty independents) I know Texas took its 15 million payout and gave it to the conference, who then divides it 13 ways among all its member insititutions (Texas gets 2 shares, everybody else 1).

That money generally then goes to support Olympic sports that don't make profits.

Hope this gets you off your soapbox

Gand wouldn't want to bother with something like factual information. Might interrupt his rant.

And I don't believe he was accusing USC of using the money illegally...just not using it the way he thinks they should.

Again, because only his opinion matters ...where's that damn sarcasm font?

Back from a long trip and glad to see everyone is still concerned about my opinion. And your right, mine is the only one that counts. It's a message board. But dare any so-called "journalist" or columnist to press the same questions and they might find themselves doing stats from endzone seats. I can appreciate that.

I'm also shocked to see that no one disputes the lapdog claim. To clarify, not every sports writer is a lap dog...you get some lions, but they are a dieing bread.

My man Outofplace: I love facts...not so much factual information. That sounds more like someone's perception of the facts. And at the very least, I'm ranting, how about you big man? You seem more defensive. Do you feel more like maybe you guys are licking Pete Carroll's balls? Maybe he'll give you one of those dynamite "team effort" quotes.

From your post higher up, It's fairly juvenile to bust out the bank account on someone...I'm down with that. It's silly. But it sure is fun, especially with the cockroach being bitch-slapped is the same one name calling: "Mr Gandhi was a scrub at the DMN and never made it in the business." You gotta admit, that was pretty juvenile as well.

As for the story on Reggie Bush...sure I'll read it. I don't mind it either. I would also like to see a story on how USC spends its bowl money. I love what someone said about USC being a private school and not needing to disclose that. Well, in that case, then Reggie Bush is a private "STUDENT-athlete" and needs not answer for anything cited in the story as well. How can we consider an institution's privacy before a student-athlete? Are you people insane.

Yeah you're right, not in the business any longer. Selling in an industry that contributes to society and criticizing you people is more fun.

But maybe the king balls licker is Montezuma's Revenge: It's takes a real man to call somebody out. Yeah, maybe it's easy to sit back and call me a former DMN scrub...so be it. I can appreciate that. My 5-year career tanked at age 22, most certainly from episodes of my own doing. I can live with it. What can you live with? Hiding behind your handle like a pussy. Big man, you obviously know how I roll...and you know I roll in style. Good luck to you, prick.

"dieing" "bread" . . .

Beautiful

I can see why you're out of the business.

Obviously you are a man deeply in love with yourself. I'm sure that helps keep you happy.

Actually, I don't know how you roll...just how you say you do. I honestly don't care. And as for me being defensive, I'm not the one who turned to name-calling. You are.

And yes, I do keep my anonymity on this site. It's simply easier that way. I prefer to vent without repercussions, though I believe anybody who knows me in the real world could figure out who I am very easily from the things I've posted. If you did chose to out yourself (I have no idea who you are), that's great for you. Can't say I really see you as more of a man for that, but whatever keeps you happy at night.

I see a fair amount of juvenile behavior, come to think of it.

One of the primary drawbacks of testosterone, actually . . . especially once you've passed
out of your twenties . . .
