OSL The Lonely Tree (photo thanks to flickr's cuellar's feed)
We at OSL decided to sit on the fence and wait to let the LeGarrette Blount controversy set in a bit (and continue to fester) before we touched on it.
We felt adrift – like a lonely tree in an unforgiving landscape of media overlords waxing poetic on the horrific nature of college football and its most current lightning rod – Mr. Blount.
The time for silence is over, however.
LeGarrette Blount messed up, and he probably got what he had coming.
You can’t punch a person in the face, get dragged off the field, punch a teammate, and not expect a heavy sentence. Everyone at OSL is in agreement about that.
But – that doesn’t mean LeGarrette is a bad person. We don’t know that for a certainty, but punching someone in the face, even after a demoralizing loss, is not acceptable.
It also doesn’t mean he can’t make it to the NFL. That will be a difficult road however.
Yes, and shockingly enough Blount didn’t show up at Ducks practice on Monday. Wowsers.
OSL’s Mike Whitman, Joe Jackson, and Andrew Theen talked for a long time on a recording device about the Blount saga and much, much more.
We touched on a slew of juicy topics:
-Blount’s “conduct unbecoming of a Duck”
-His NFL draft stock (or lack-thereof)
-UO’s attempt to bounce back with a home game against Purdue
-The phenomenal Brothers Rodgers at OSU
-A possible quarterback controversy in Corvallis?
-The return of the monster at UW
-Jake Locker’s unnatural athletic ability
-Martell Webster cleared to hit the hardwood
-Dante Cunningham’s chances of playing
Plus, there are some tasty original grooves on the podcast. Count on having more of those in the future. Please give it a listen, download it, or just sit at your computer and enjoy. We know you’ve got the time.
