    Maybe I missed it, but any mention why rittiman left?  

    And for the most part, the NEIsd schools are not athletics at all cost.  Theyre more of a "good kids who graduate" type community. 

    More money at Heights. 
     

    Madison most definitely does not fit that description. The other schools mostly do, even Roosevelt.

  2. They could cure the virus tomorrow and open up everything 100%, and it would still be a while before I went out to a bar or restaurant again. I’ve gotten so used to eating at home & having gatherings at friends’ places, going to an establishment just seems like a chore more than anything now.

    Unless if I'm misunderstanding the legwork that the "(basically)" portion of your post is doing, that's not a thing that happened. He had 1 return for 22 yards in that game.

    But I am on board with your larger point. Especially if it's a real 4.7 and not a 4.9 that's being reported as a 4.7 because that's how HS 40's are often reported.

    Called back on a penalty with 2 minutes left in the game as Cash pointed out. It actually was a legit holding that sprung him so can’t complain too much, but a lot of other calls that game were BS. Point is LJH was still able to use his change of direction & acceleration to run almost the length of the field despite his 4.8 speed. 

  4. LJH ran a 4.75 at the combine, and he was a great college receiver. He also (basically) returned a kickoff for a TD in the Big 12 title game, which is the pinnacle of speed accomplishments on a football field. Some dudes just have a knack for balling even if their measureables aren’t great.

  5. His school got featured on last season of QB1, don’t recall him though. 
     

    Lulz at the 40 talk. The number of high schoolers that could run a legit, laser timed sub 4.6 is incredibly small. This guy might not be a burner but it’s not like he’s a slug either.

    Gretzky

    Trout

    Neither one of them had the 'asshole' tag on their clubhouse personna.  the Astros are still Altuve's team and he clowns with the best of em; although Lance McCullers found out not to fuck around the wrong way and show up a teammate.

    Trout is a super nice guy. He’ll also never win any game of actual consequence, nor does he elevate/push his teammates to be better themselves. Poor example.

    subscribing to the fear?

    FTR, in my profession, I'm working absolutely in the public every day and have been throughout the ordeal.  A bunch of folks need to get the fuck over it.

    You’re such a badass, I wish I was more like you. Oh wait, I am, because I’ve been working in the public everyday too. Big fucking deal, you’re not special. 
     

    The players never agreed to such a contingency, the guy you quoted is just a moron. It’s out of the players hands anyway, many cities/ states wouldn’t allow such large gatherings.

  8. Some long-term changes that I think will stick from all this...

    Universal DH, realignment, reduced draft, expanded playoffs. Reduced spring training as well once they realize it doesn’t actually take anywhere near a month & a half to get acclimated to gameplay.

    He’s quit on his team multiple times and caused a ton of issues to the point that even freaking North Shore didn’t play him in some playoff games. His issues go way deeper than just doesn’t love football, though that’s a red flag with him too.

    There’s a reason TCU was the best school in the country that was willing to accept a 5 star talent.

    NS runs a very tight ship, not a lot of programs wouldve benched their star player for the state title game. Kind of stereotypical to assume that they don’t emphasize discipline.

  10. Never could figure this kid out. Plethora of high school team violations and suspensions, but no actual legal trouble as far as I know. Doesn’t really play or act like a showboat on the field, but he was prone to showing some poor body language & attitude. In fact I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile or be happy in any pic or interview. My guess is he just doesn’t love football very much. He’ll end up quitting the sport entirely in a couple years.

    Will be hard to play teams if you can’t even leave your county. Not even the Yankees & Mets could play each other. It’ll be a whole season of Cubs/White Sox & (I think) Dodgers/Angels.

    Como te dices "rancho" en Ingles?

    I know its literal translation, obviously, pero  . . . la connotacion?

    Basically country-ass hispanic schools or towns. Lots more kids from families that work in ag, you’ll see a lot more belt buckles & boots, everyone loves tejano & country, and more of the students are native spanish speakers.

    Contrast that with the schools in towns like McAllen, Sharyland, Harlingen & even Weslaco now. The kids are also mostly all hispanic but much more Americanized, and there’s more affluent Mexican nationals mixed in. Aside from the demographics not a whole lot different from a typical suburban high school.

  13. Boring school in a boring state. I’ve driven from TX to Illinois before. Southern/southwest Missouri was really pretty, big forests and cliffs and stuff. Nothing memorable beyond that. They have a lot of Steak n’ Shakes I guess. Arkansas and Oklahoma may as well not even exist, the best way I can describe those states are ugly and pointless. That’s all I got to add really.

    Better to be hassled because of profiling and letting them unfairly detain you, and alive, than dead. I truly believe if he’d stopped and spoken with them, he’d be alive. Would that have been fair to him?  Of course not. Would it happen to me?  Likely never. Does not stopping, and fighting for your life, mean they don’t have 100% culpability?  No, the son should spend the rest of his life in prison and dad serious prison time too. But I think he’d be alive, and that’s more important than fighting an injustice. 

     

    I’m actually with you on this point. His mistake was not trusting these complete strangers that just shot him point blank in the chest with a shotgun for no reason. It wasn’t clear if they meant him any harm at that point, he should’ve taken a deep breath and just tried to start a dialogue with these guys. They’d only shot him unprovoked once at that point, what were the odds they would do it again? Not saying it’s his fault, but it’s difficult to understand why he chose to fight for his life instead of give himself entirely to their mercy.
