T-Minus-117 Days until \u201cThe Mid Valley Classic\u201d<\/p>\n

Good Afternoon!<\/p>\n

I think the player flying under the radar in the Suns-Lakers game Monday night is Dick Van Arsdale. Love the way he works with Walter Davis and Alvin Adams, this is why I like Phoenix in six.<\/p>\n

Dai Dai McFadden, a wide receiver\/defensive back who scored nine touchdowns for Crescenta Valley in 2009, has transfered to Muir and will be on the football field this fall.<\/p>\n

At Pasadena, former Temple City freshman standout Brandon Cox, will be playing for the Bulldogs this fall.<\/p>\n

Buzz is building on Pomona Red Devil cornerback Jamal Overton.<\/p>\n

Expect the final details to be worked out on Mike McFarland, the new TC HC, on May 26th which is the next time the TCUSD meets.<\/p>\n

Talking to a pair of assistant coaches today I listened how they shared their frustrations with things like finger printing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think its a good thing you need to be finger printed,\u201d said one. \u201cBut I\u2019m enrolling in the police academy and had my finger prints cleared by the FBI. The FBI! And it wasn\u2019t good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery district I\u2019ve worked on, makes you take it over again,\u201d said the other assistant. \u201cThey don\u2019t transfer them. It\u2019s a pain in the neck.\u201d<\/p>\n

McFarland has been re-scheduled for \u201cThe Mid Valley Sports Show\u201d, he\u2019ll be on after he\u2019s made official by the district.<\/p>\n

The four-way toss at San Gabriel this morning included Hollywood High, El Cid\u2019s Roosevelt squad, Arroyo, and the host SG Matadors.<\/p>\n

Everything went as expected including the Knights Sam Torres and the Mats Mark Covarrubias introducing themselves to each other on a pass down field. Later SG\u2019s Alex Villalobos and Arroyo quarterback Steven Rivera came together on a deep throw. Villalobos was the receiver, who made the catch…Rivera the defensive back.<\/p>\n

Rivera always looks good throwing the ball…this morning he looked good picking off at least five while playing safety.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Area people should know a little more about the Knights' Sam Torres<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cWow,\u201d said one teammate after Rivera stole two back to back against the Roughriders. \u201cHe throws pics and he makes pics.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hey, Jim Singiser, what are the chances of Rivera starting as a defensive back?<\/p>\n

\u201cThe second I put Rivera in at DB, (Chris) MacMillan throws down his headset and goes up into the stands to watch the rest of the (deleted expletive) game,\u201d said His Arroyo<\/p>\n

Baldness.<\/p>\n

(Chris MacMillan is the Knights OC)<\/p>\n

The the past came up. Coaches never forget.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey that dude should never throw the ball in public again,\u201d said San Gabriel HC Jude Oliva about Mid Valley staffer Tim Peterson, who he saw throwing the ball on the sidelines during halftime of the Army Fiesta Bowl two years go. \u201cHe\u2019s a nice guy, but…NO!\u201d<\/p>\n

I asked Oliva if I fit the mold of a quarterback for his San Gabriel alumni flag football game on June 10th.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, you got the body type of an alumni,\u201d Oliva said. \u201cWe can let you Q for a series.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be three plays and an oxygen tank,\u201d said His Arroyo Baldness about the outcome of my performance.<\/p>\n

Of course if I could get into that alumni game, make a play, just one play, I could probably guilt Singiser into springing for Bunch-a-Lunch over at Shakeys.<\/p>\n

Far be it from me to rat someone out, but an assistant coach from San Gabriel will be in attendance at the Justin Bieber concert tonight. He says he\u2019s doing it for his kids, but… I don\u2019t know… I won\u2019t say who it is but he has two first names…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Arroyo's Steven Rivera with pick number three of five.<\/p><\/div>\n

Usually I enjoy \u201cIn the Huddle\u201d on ESPN…it can make a Saturday afternoon drive pretty dog gone good…but I couldn\u2019t believe John Clayton today was swinging the bat in trying make us understand that poor Albert Haynesworth, who has missed for off season workouts than school days missed by me when attending El Monte, has a point in his protest..<\/p>\n

Haynesworth doesn\u2019t want to play in a 3-4 defense, he wants to play in the 4-3 defense he thought he was going to play in when he signed with the Washington Redskins. So there\u2019s the problem. However, taking 32-million bucks in guaranteed dough from owner Daniel Snyder has not been a problem.<\/p>\n

Haynesworth is a bum, the Redskins should have done a better psych eval before signing him.<\/p>\n

I could understand it if Haynesworth was early in his career and thought a position or philosphy change in defense would effect him financially in the long run. I can understand when a baseball player, early in his career, frets about batting lead off as opposed to the three-slot.<\/p>\n

But Haynesworth has made his bread, 32-plus-million to be exact, can\u2019t he think of the team? Bum. And attempting to defend him makes one look foolish with 9.9 unemployment nationally.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m for guys making all they can. I\u2019m for high profits for business guys and I\u2019m for high profits for ball players….But please…the Houston Astros are paying Carlos Lee 18-million this year.<\/p>\n

I wonder what Blue State think about the idea of sending Manny Ramirez to the Seattle Mariners for Cliff Lee?<\/p>\n

My aunt Virginia went to be with the Lord last night at about 7:30. She was my mom\u2019s twin. How does that relate to sports? In the large sense it doesn\u2019t. In a small sense it is a reminder of how fleeting life is. My grandfather was born in 1882 and his last child past away on May 14, 2010. A long span of life, yes, but It\u2019s over now. You have today, but once today is over, it never comes again. As the old saying goes; today can change tomorrow, but tomorrow can only reflect on what came before it.<\/p>\n

Take nothing for granted.<\/p>\n

Stay thirsty my friends\u2026<\/p>\n
