\u201cA party. I came here for a party. And what happened? Nothing. Not even ice cream.\u201d—Captain Jeffrey T. Spaulding<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kick it!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sorry, not watching the World Cup…Not that there is anything wrong with it.<\/p>\n

If a good friend led you to believe that they had a ticket for you to Game Five of the Stanley Cup Finals between the Rangers-Kings…and then told you it was just a joke…would you remain friends with that dirtbag Tim Peterson?<\/p>\n

Yes, that really happened.<\/p>\n

I have to say the guy I expected to got postal last week was Rosemead HC Marc Paramo. For the third time, since the start of last summer, he has lost a front line player to a private school.<\/p>\n

Last summer linebacker Matt Henderson and cornerback Jesse Audelo went to Cathedral, and now he\u2019s lost quarterback Steven Nava to Bishop Amat. I\u2019ve seen Paramo go street rat crazy over less, but he\u2019s held it together.<\/p>\n

On my end it feels like we\u2019ve added a new dimension to the off season. There\u2019s summer, there\u2019s the regular season, the post season, award season, coaches quitting season, and now there seems to be private school free agency season. I\u2019ll take correction, I\u2019ve never seen anything like we\u2019ve seen this off season before. Have you?<\/p>\n

If I\u2019m a public school HC, and I\u2019ve already got factors like finance and lack of on campus coaches working against me, I\u2019m done throwing in tournaments or seven-on-sevens with private schools. I\u2019m also going to stop being gracious and contest every transfer. There seems to be a growing attitude of \u201cif a kid doesn\u2019t want to be here, then let them go\u201d…I agree, but if you take all the consequences for \u201crecruiting\u201d off the table then being a good guy, or being the bigger person, you\u2019re just encouraging it to happen more and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe build them up, we school them in fundamentals, we turn them into players, and then the private schools come in scoop them up. It\u2019s bull-BLANK,\u201d said one local coach.<\/p>\n

If a kid wants to transfer, I understand…but with the new realignment I had three different local coaches, at different times, give me the names of five schools they said were flat out \u201cdirty\u201d in how they handled their business.<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t list them here, but they were all private schools.<\/p>\n

MVS commenter \u201cBobby Knight\u201d left a post saying we shouldn\u2019t mention these transfers and deny them the publicity they might be craving.<\/p>\n

Part of me understands, but if the media doesn\u2019t talk about it who will? Every time the Trib, Star News, Mid Valley Sports reports about a transfer doesn\u2019t it help raise awareness?<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m conflicted myself…A kid wanting to play football shouldn\u2019t have to play football at Blair. That\u2019s not right, a school district and a school, that has been a basket case for decades, shouldn\u2019t even be playing football (frankly it\u2019s dangerous). So let the kid transfer.<\/p>\n

…But on the flip side, it does start to look like a meat market.<\/p>\n

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

In\u00a0regards to<\/strong> Matt Kemp: He\u2019s looking a little bit better now.<\/p>\n

In regards to<\/strong> Montebello: Free safety Ivan Manriquez…He looks to be the \u201cDark Knight\u201d to DC Brian Zavala\u2019s \u201cDark Side Defense\u201d.<\/p>\n

In regards to<\/strong> Anthony Craft: Looking forward to seeing a local name get on the field, and get real playing time, for APU this fall.<\/p>\n

In regards to<\/strong> Fantasy Baseball: If anyone wants Justin Verlander right now, I\u2019m willing to deal him for F.P. Santangelo straight up.<\/p>\n

In regards to<\/strong> LeBron James: \u201cWatching Lebron lately, obviously on the court and in his dealings with the press, you really have to be impressed by the good man he is.\u201d—Dennis Miller<\/p>\n
