A C’Ryan Shame

Ryan Perrilloux is retarded.

 

Let me rephrase that.  This whole Ryan Perrilloux thing is retarded.

 

I guess that may still be offensive.

 

Ryan Perrilloux is stupid.  I think THAT is a relatively safe (and politically correct) thing to say at this point.  This kid could have been the starting quarterback at LSU, the defending national champs, but seemed to have a “rule/law following problem” and was kicked off the team as a result of his various violations.

 

You know what else is stupid?  How eager some of these smaller schools were to pick him up.  Isn’t that a little silly?  This kid just got kicked off a team for basically being a problem athlete, and then smaller schools battled for his signature until finally Jacksonville St. won the exclusive rights to analyze his urine, and will undoubtedly insert him at quarterback immediately.

 

This seems like a bad plan.  But why, then, would this take place with such enthusiasm?  Maybe some of these schools are just so used to problem athletes that they almost feel less fulfilled if they don’t have a few wild cards on the team to wrangle on and off the field.  Coaches must get bored of only dealing with kids in their respective playing areas, so to keep things fun and exciting, they keep bringing in a new stellar athlete with a less than stellar penal record.  Yeah, penal record.  That’s what I said.  Yet somehow I can’t imagine that reality is as near to that as my sarcasm is thick.

 

Maybe I am being too harsh.  I’ve gotten second chances.  Even third.  And I imagine sooner or later here I’m going to need a fourth or fifth.  So, I’m not sure what the tally is for Perrilloux at this juncture, but maybe this is the best thing for humanity because it helps out a human in a tight spot, and most of us being human, it is vicariously and karmically good for everyone.

 

Nah.  It’s retarded.

 

MOST LIKELY TO:

 

Not get drafted – Ryan Perriloux

Do ok in their league – Jacksonville St.

Get killed in their league – LSU

Love the fact that LSU will struggle – THIS GUY

Actually turn out to be retarded – Ryan Perrilloux

Put the Tigers in a undeserved bowl game anyway – The BCS
