 TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 2012 - "Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won’t taste good. " Joe Paterno
*********** POOR T. O. In his own words, "I don't have no friends."
Assuming that that means he doesn't have any friends, that's too bad.
All those years, how were all
his teammates to know that his acting like a selfish,
self-promoting team cancer was really a desperate call for help?
As if being friendless weren't bad enough, he's also broke. That can happen when you sire four kids
by three different women, all without benefit of wedlock (needless to
say), and those mommas know that you're a highly-paid pro football
player.
The result? $44,600 a month in child support. (think of it - a month!) That's enough to put anybody in the poorhouse.
Maybe if he tells the judge he's now playing arena football, he can get the child support cut back to $35,000 a month.

GREAT FOR PRACTICE! The PASSBACK! Maybe
you've noticed, as I have, that not enough kids come to us with the
ability to throw and catch a football. Maybe it's because they don't
play catch the way they used to - maybe because even when they do play
baseball they're not taught to catch with two hands. Whatever, as
football coaches we've just had to live with it. Until now. Now,
though, we can do something about it. Better still, the kids themselves
can do something about it!!
Now, for the first time ever, there's the PASSBACK
- a training device that looks, feels, throws and catches just like a
real football - and a player can use it by himself. No more having to
find someone to throw to (or someone to throw to him).The PASSBACK
is not a toy. It's a real football, modified so that it bounces back to
the thrower! And it comes it two sizes - youth and regulation. Watch a young QB demonstrate or,,, Check out some receiver and DB drills I predict that the PASSBACK
will revolutionize coaching the skill positions. Long-time readers of
my site know that I don't endorse many things, but I was so sold on the PASSBACK that I didn't just endorse it - I worked out an agreement with the US licensee to become a PASSBACK dealer. I took as many as I could to my recent Providence, Philadelphia and Carolina clinics and sold all I had.
I'm selling them for
$19.95 + $3 shipping ($22.95) for the youth-size ball or $29.95 + $4
shipping ($33.95 total) for the regulation size. Trust me -
you're not just going to want one for each of your quarterbacks -
you're going to want enough for your receivers and backs as well. DB's,
too. The PASSBACK also makes a great gift! Why watch the little guy in your life kick a soccer ball when he can be throwing and catching a football! (Incidentally, I've found that the youth-size may work even better for receivers!)
A high school coach who bought a Passback for his young son writes, Coach
Wyatt, I recently purchased the Passback for my 9-year-old son who is
recovering from a leg injury. He loves it because it allows him to play
catch by himself, and he quickly discovered the better the throw, the
truer the return. I love it because it has him outside moving, throwing
and catching, all while he is having fun. I would recommend it for any
kid looking to develop hand-eye coordination! KC Smith Walpole,
