Joe T.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cYou say you came to Baltimore from Ole Miss<\/strong>
\n A class of ’74 gold ring<\/strong>
\n The eastern moon looks ready for a wet kiss<\/strong>
\n To make the tide rise again, ha, ha.\u201d—Starbuck<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kick it!<\/p>\n

La Mirada always makes noise, to their credit. NorRock is feeling strong. Downey will be powerful, but there is a team down the 605 returning a veteran quarterback, its two leading rushers, and one of its best defensive players in 2014.<\/p>\n

The Mayfair Monsoons, who open at home on August 29, against Downey comeback this fall with Isaiah Jackson at quarterback and a \u201cBad Dude\u201d defensive end in Ernest Bagner.<\/p>\n

If you forget about Mike Fitch\u2019s squad, you could get caught in the rain. (I guess that\u2019s bad, but all the jokes can\u2019t be good…You have to expect that once in a while.)<\/p>\n

If the Celtics have had a leprechaun\u2019s help over the years, the Clippers must have some sort of sick Grinch uniquely crafting its disasters. I\u2019m not going to say I called last night\u2019s collapse, but at the end of \u201cThe Mid Valley Sports Show\u201d I sat in the office with the guys and waited for it to happen.<\/p>\n

When it did I let out a laugh. The end of the game was like the end of Animal House, chaos, madness, and I have expected a small subtitle to appear at the press conference saying: Glenn \u201cDoc\u201d Rivers: Wherabouts Unknown.<\/p>\n

If you live in the Inland Empire, love prep football, and have Friday nights available in the fall…drop me a line on Facebook or at the email address below. Mid Valley Sports is considering an overhaul…but would like to see what we, potentially, may have first.<\/p>\n

I know they won the Super Bowl, and I know they play in the NFC West, and I know they stand in the way of the St. Louis\/Los Angeles Rams getting to where I want them to go, but Seattle really intrigues me this coming season. If they win another Super Bowl then they will have successfully changed football forever.<\/p>\n

It is almost, if not exactly, a \u2018moneyball\u2019 approach in finding value where no one else sees it. Building a team with third and fourth round picks and a few free agents. It is so interesting.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to have a grandson one of these days, and if the lawyers and suits don\u2019t make the game disappear, he\u2019s going to sit on my lap and ask me about football. We\u2019ll talk and I\u2019ll tell him how much I hate the Dallas Cowboys.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought it wasn\u2019t right to hate,\u201d he\u2019ll say.
\n\u201cIf it\u2019s the Dallas Cowboys, it\u2019s okay,\u201d I\u2019ll answer.
\n\u201cGrandpa, tell me one more thing,\u201d he\u2019ll ask.
\n\u201cSure, anything.\u201d
\n\u201cWhat was a running back?\u201d<\/p>\n

His eyes will grow when I explain to him about a subset of football players once known as \u2018running backs\u2019 and how they went the way of the Jedi.<\/p>\n

Former Burroughs and Whittier College basketball forward Kourtney Zilbert turns 25 today.<\/p>\n

Is the goal of an All Star game coach, like Friday\u2019s East-West Hall of Fame game (at West Covina, 7:PM), to play everyone or is it to win the game?<\/p>\n

If I\u2019m West HC Mike Hobbie and I have two physical quarterbacks in San Marino\u2019s Andrew Ferraco and Arroyo\u2019s Nathan Coto, I\u2019m slowing the game down to a crawl. Anyway I can. There\u2019s a lot of beef on the offensive line for them to try it with.<\/p>\n

Oh, I\u2019ve always been a Josh Beckett fan.<\/p>\n

Does size matter? I thought this was interesting, El Monte listed 41 players on its roster last season by name. However, only six of those players were two hundred pounds or heavier. Rosemead listed eight, Gabrielino 9, Mt. View 10, Arroyo 13, and South El Monte 14.<\/p>\n

Last Add Mayfair: Yeah, I like them. Maybe it\u2019s the uniforms, the way they compete, or just the team name; \u201cMonsoons\u201d.<\/p>\n

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

In regards to<\/strong> marijuana: Is there another way to get its effects or does it, like tobacco, require ingesting the refuse of a burning leaf into your lungs? And why is that okay, but tobacco is not?<\/p>\n

In regards to<\/strong> \u201cSurvivor\u201d: If Trish starts playing Tony could be unseated because if she goes to the end with this guy she\u2019ll be blanked in the final vote for the million.<\/p>\n

In regards to<\/strong> the undrafted: Texas Longhorn Jackson Jeffcoat, All American, Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, 13 sacks, 86 tackles…Undrafted.<\/p>\n

In regards to<\/strong> Fantasy Baseball: I hate it even more today.<\/p>\n

In regards to<\/strong> Gio DeLoera: The Downey right tackle will be a senior this fall and he currently measures out at 6-4, 295.<\/p>\n

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