Ran into 619 tonight

    I fall in your corner of the debate. I'm still pissed at Reggie but to me it's like being pissed at my little brother. I have to understand that he just made a focked up error. It's difficult but I understand that he isn't the devil himself. Had I seen him at the burger joint I'm not sure what I would have said, if anything at all. Now Lamar, on the other hand, would probably have eaten a knuckle sandwich served up fast!!

    What if your little brother had not only never apologized, but had never even admitted he did something wrong?
    What if he did something he knew was wrong, profitted from that something, and went off on his merry way and left you and your family holding the bag and to pick up pieces?

    this is why theres the discussion of pay the players at an attempt to curtail such temptations ,how much do you think SC made off RB 5 jersey sales? tix sales ?TV revenue? foam fingers etc.RB 5 was must see TV and I guess his parents wanted a pce.of the Forbidden Pietwocents

    Different argument for a different day
    Nobody forced the little prick to accept a scholarship
    When he did, he and his parents signed an agreement to conform to certain rules
    They broke their word, knowingly and deliberately
    I realize this is a hard concept for you and the PoorMisguidedLittleReggie apologists up in here
    That is YOUR failing, not mine

  • NCAA never shows up if Reggie and Lamar does not try to get over on criminals. "Me and my family never did anything wrong." Not in their eyes... Look he had a second chance to make it all go away by simply paying off Lake like he did Michaels. At that point he could've afforded it, easily.

  • Fight on Reggie, I can't judge you. If played college football at any school that I wasn't irrationally attached to, I would take any and all improper benefits that came my way.

    Also, if you take away the improper benefit thing, Reggie is a great role model. He doesn't call attention to himself, he gives back to the community, he works his ass off, and he's damn smart.

    So your take is correct but anyone who disagrees with you are Bush apologist who fail to realize the correct rationale on the situation. OK

  • The people in this thread that hate Reggie don't realize something. College football/basketball players are slaves to their school, the NCAA, tv channels/providers, media outlets, EA sports, and some more mofo's that I probably forgot. These athletes are the ONLY reason that this insanely rich industry exists and they don't see a cent.

    LMAO at you pathetic attempt at Jamaican Bad words.

    I understand that Reggie will always be a favorite.

    He will always be a favorite of people with no sense of honor, no sense of right and wrong, no ability to see the big picture,

    I laugh at all you Reggie Jock Sniffers. You care so much about him and he could not care less if you live or die.

    Like I said.

    Pathetic.

    Your beef is/should be with the NCAA. Not Reggie and certainly not with me.

  • 1. Reggie Bush has already apologized to the university and to Haden http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/pac10/2010-08-12-reggie-bush-apology_N.htm

    2. If you think Reggie was the only one doing it at SC or any other university, you are absolutely naive, and may the Good Lord Be with ya.

    I may not jizz my knickers if I randomly ran into Reggie in the 619, but I'd sure as hell use the moment as masturbation material later on.

    Thank you. People need to not take shit so literally or offensively for that matter. Also bomboclot is just a fun word to say :-)

    Extraordinarily disappointing post - and very poorly "thought" out.

    You can't judge him but you tell him to fight on?

    You can't judge him but you condone his (and implicitly your own) wanton disregard for an agreement he made with his university - unapologetically complicit with royally screwing over his university?

    You can't judge him but call him a great role model - except for the part about screwing over his university? I realize hyperbolic, but analogous to thinking John Wilkes Booth was a great actor and person - while he did call attention to himself, he worked his ass off, was damn smart and gave back to his community. Geez.

    It is simply amazing the lack of ethics, maturity and understanding of many here who substitute/rationalize an athlete's ability to do wondrous things on a FB field with justification for institutionally violate and morally reprehensible conduct.

    Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

    I'm completely with you....wow, just wow.

    I love my kids and nieces and nephews more than anything in this world...but if any of them thought anywhere near what I'm reading on this thread, or did what that guy did, I would probably cry forever knowing I failed miserably in child rearing.

    Wow.

    You jyst equated a foorball scholarship to USC, worth probably 300 K with all the extra stuff like free meals and monthly housing stipend to Slavery?

    Man, I can remember when Whittier used to demand critical thinking out if it's students

    All this proves is you have a scrambled and vacuous moral center

    And if you consider Reggie Bush a role model, I feel sorry for your future children
    He is a selfish self- aggrandizing little prick, going back to his last couple of years at USC

    I still remember when he refused to give John Jackson's two little boys an autograph

    Or his "Foundation' in San Diego started with great fanfare and publicity

    In typical Reggie fashion, after the the flashbulbs had cooled, he just never cut the checks he had promised

    Or all his "good works" in New Orleans, also known as photo ops
    Yeah, Reggie Bush is a great role midel because ...........?............?.......... Why Exactly?

    Oh yeah, he went to class

    I agree, a full ride is nothing to sneeze at, and toss in the incredible training players get. I think it's somewhere in between. Yes, the university is making tons of money off these guys, and the players aren't getting a fair share, but it's far from slavery.

    No one puts a gun to their head and forces them to accept a scholarship
    They enter into a contract, literally
    They SIGN their names and agree to abide by the rules and guidelines set forth in said contract
    Them and their parents
    USC went to gresr lengths to make it clear what was acceptable and what wasn't
    There are no gray areas
    That is why Lake said that Lamar and Denise and Reggie were terrified that Pete was going to find out about theur dealings with him and Michaels

    I am really disappointed and alarmed at the lengths some of our posters are going to give Reggie a pass and put the blame in everyone BUT him and his family

    I have a feeling that it might be a different stiry if wevwoukd gave gone 4 and 8 last year and weren't in the the top 50 teams going into the 2012 season

    The fact Lane and Ogre and Pat Haden have handlef these sanctions, so far, in a manner never thought possible seemingly makes what Reggie and his family did a little
    More forgivable

    Fucking Pathetic

    In this world, there will be countless "small minded people" who employ staff, and make the best judgement to character, especially in high security positions.

    As one who hired and managed staff from all over the country, many of these remarks tell me that you would not hesitate to lie, cheat and steal from your employer if you felt your salary or position was not enough - in your mind. And your word on a contract means sh*t.

    It's not complex, my great grandparents always said...we may be poor, but we're proud, and our word is everything, without it you are truly the poorest of the poor - even if you live in a castle.

  • WoW... I really just want to ignore the ignorance spewed about my own character just so i wont get THAT ugly... But i do consider myself as do those around me, to be as Loyal as a person can possibly be and i dont give out my word unless i fully intend to keep. Not that it even really matters.

    Everyone makes mistakes, Reggie's wasn't enough for me to HATE him or anything close to it... Thats my perspective you have yours and others will have theirs. We are all right to an extent because how wrong or how right something is changes person to person and cannot be factualized.

  • I just figured out what and who all the Reggie apologists on this thread remind me of

    I tried to find the YouTube video but couldn't

    At the 2007 or 2008 WSU game there was a group of Six Drunken frat boys down in the first row on the eastern edge of the student section

    They had their whole front torsos painted Cardinal and each had a single letter in Gold in the middle

    Together, in sequence, the letters spelled F-R-E-E-O-J

    They chanted the same thing the whole game, especially when the TV cameras panned to them

    I felt ashamed and embarrassed for them, and sorry for their families

    I don't believe I have anything more to say on this overdone and fruitless subject

    And small minded people can also get blinded by hero worship and overlook the consequences of the actions of their "hero" because of what he accomplished on the football field....

    I do condone his disregard for that agreement because it isn't an agreement at all. These kids have no other choice. If they want to play in the NFL, they have to be slaves for 3 years.

    He is a great role model. To compare getting free rent and a car from a wannabe agent to shooting the president is over the top.

    He did nothing morally reprehensible. The NCAA is morally reprehensible for making Reggie their slave for three years.
