What happened to all the fat guys? When Arcadia starts an offensive line that looks the size of Rio Hondo Prep\u2019s (about a 210-pound average)&#8230;it\u2019s obvious these kids aren\u2019t getting enough to eat.

Perhaps some Double Stuffed Oreo goody bags when they come in through the gate in the morning?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve got a lot of gray hair these days&#8230;which is cool because I could be sporting the Johnny BlueState look&#8230;but I\u2019m not going to try and hide my age by dying it. What\u2019s the point everyone knows I\u2019m old, especially after I saw Monrovia\u2019s Lawrence Spicer rush for six touchdowns and then identified him Brandon Spicer over the course of a 400-word story on Friday night.<\/p>\n<p>(Plus my knee keeps making this really strange popping sound when I get up in the morning.)<\/p>\n<p>Two Monday night NFL games is one too many to start the new season.
