\u201cWhy wait any longer for the one you love<\/strong><\/p>\n

When he’s standing in front of you.\u201d—Bob Dylan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kick it!<\/p>\n

Ssshhh…but with the pending move to the Valle Vista are Ryan Jacobson\u2019s Rowland Raiders a team everyone is overlooking?<\/p>\n

An email tells me they are, but it\u2019s a tough sell. Changing leagues will help, but to forecast a return to contention and general butt kicking in 2014 might be too much too soon…But hey, I\u2019ve been wrong before…After all I took El Monte over Arroyo in 2001.<\/p>\n

Good story on Bleacher Report about former La Mirada quarterback Kevin Dillman, who is now in Texas. My reaction to it, as a father of three, is nothing is worth being separated from your kids…not even football.<\/p>\n

Kudos to Sean Penn. On Friday night I sat in section 42, while Penn and Charlize Theron sat in section 44. Over the course of a 12-inning dog of a Diamondback-Dodger game (for which he stayed seven innings)…Penn only yelled at one guy for taking his picture, and the guy deserved it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe TEN\u201d is a collaborative effort by the Mid Valley Sports staff…so I don\u2019t know how\/why\/or the what is behind Paraclete\u2019s Melquise Stovall being left off a list of juniors-to-be running backs returning next fall.<\/p>\n

Stovall was on our all Mid-Valley team and we did feature an excellent pic of him to lead the feature. I remember contacting Paraclete and getting his stats. Love Stovall, great player.<\/p>\n

But it is tough, for quick reference, when you go to MaxPreps and can\u2019t find stats. I\u2019m guessing that\u2019s what happened on our end. So it was a mistake, not a slight…yet there was a slight.<\/p>\n

The slight was to Stovall, but it wasn\u2019t by us. Teams and fan-bases all hype their guys. It\u2019s awesome. Seeing the comments roll in and everyone talking about their guy…but it took a perceived slight for everyone to get all up in arms about Stovall.\u00a0That\u2019s ridiculous…we should be editing Stovall comments every day. Somebody should be pushing this guy on us like the L.A. Times pushes the WNBA…Stovall is a great player…and he\u2019s got a great name. Talk about him.<\/p>\n

Note to Paraclete Faithful: You send me Stovall stuff…I\u2019ll publish it. If there is a change of one degree in his body temperature…I\u2019ll publish it.<\/p>\n

So I see the headline: \u201cNFL Champions Make Baffling Trade\u201d and I\u2019m thinking the Seattle Seahawks traded Richard Sherman or dealt Marshawn Lynch…Instead they sent a seventh round pick to the Oakland Raiders for Terrelle Pryor.<\/p>\n

Baffling?<\/p>\n

Russell Wilson\u2019s back-ups before the deal were Tarvaris Jackson and B.J. Daniels. Pryor is a bust, but he has upside and he\u2019s going to be inexpensive. Good move and if it blows up all they\u2019ve lost is a seventh round pick…and if they need to sign another quarterback I\u2019m sure there\u2019s another McCown brother out on the street.<\/p>\n

Imagine if you lived off Vine and Citrus in West Covina and had been on a space craft to Jupiter the last ten years. You come back, put your hands together and say: \u201cI just can\u2019t wait to watch some high school football. Who\u2019s gonna win the San Antonio League this year?\u201d<\/p>\n

You\u2019re then told that the San Antonio League no longer exists.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlright, what about the Miramonte?\u201d<\/p>\n

They tell you yeah, and because you\u2019re a national hero for going to Jupiter they give you tickets to…the Garey-Ganesha showdown.<\/p>\n

Wouldn\u2019t you think you landed in some alternate universe? Doesn\u2019t the prep football landscape look and feel like an alternate universe these days?<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think I\u2019d waste a number one draft choice on Jadeveon Clowney, and definitely not the first overall pick. Would you? (Vote in our poll)…Can you say Aundray Bruce?<\/p>\n

Last Add Actors & Chavez Ravine: Character actor Noel Gugliemi on the other hand was sitting directly at the bottom of section 44 next to the right field line. Dude must have been interrupted 65 to 75 times and graciously posed for pictures and took time with everyone. For a guy that had a monkey come out of his kiester in \u201cBruce Almighty\u201d he was all class.<\/p>\n

Last Add Alternate Universe: Since you\u2019re just back from Jupiter, we\u2019ll hold off explaining to you the mathematics on why some teams no longer punt.<\/p>\n

Regards:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In regards to Clippers fans: They were on suicide watch before the Golden State game last night.<\/p>\n

In regards to Earth Day: I honored it by filling my gas tank with $67.00 worth of fossil fuel.<\/p>\n

In regards to Dodgers third baseman Juan Uribe: He has walked twice in the last five games. In the first 15 games this season Uribe didn\u2019t walk once.<\/p>\n

In regards to former Burroughs trenchman James Zilbert: He turns 29 today.<\/p>\n

In regards to Jadeveon Clowney: \u201cMy grandfather said \u2018Boy, you\u2019ll never get more money, by doing less work.\u2019\u201d—Warren Sapp<\/p>\n

The Dude abides\u2026<\/p>\n
