One Of The Greatest To Ever Wear The Uniform

I got the text on my blackberry..... "Fred Taylor Released" and I just froze..... This was surely some sick joke that was being played on me..

I know that the heart, soul and the face of my football team wasn't going anywhere. I expected this news next year after a good season and after he had broken John Riggins and Jim Brown's rushing records, but it couldn't be happening this year... Not yet...

Jerry Porter and Drayton Florence were released last week, but that should have happened...... but not this

Freddy T still had the moves... The stutter step to get into in the open field, then he ran past defenders like a crack head with a $20 bill in his hand.

After 11 seasons, 2,428 carries for 11,271 yards and 62 rushing touchdowns... I can't do anything but salute you Fred.

I just don't know how I can watch you in another uniform.....

Freshley Squeezed OJ



After two months in a small Las Vegas jail cell, O.J. Simpson learned that he will spend at least 10 years in a Nevada state prison.

I can honestly say that I don’t feel sorry for “The Juice”… He had the country on the edge of their seat with the famous white bronco chase. He was the star of the trial of the century, and again had everyone on the edge waiting for the verdict. Was found not guilty of murder, and should have lived the nice quite life in Florida………… But I guess that would have been way too easy.

O.J. was THE football star when I was growing up… I had a Buffalo Bills lunch box and book bag because of O.J. I wanted to rent a car form Hertz and run thru the airport and jump over luggage and other passengers just like O.J.

Now I wouldn’t trade a thing to be in his shoes…. He has been convicted of 11 felonies and a misdemeanor stemming from the “shakedown” last year of two sports collectors. This means that O.J. faces mandatory prison time and could be sentenced to up to life in prison.

Guess who won’t be having such a Merry Christmas?????
