Tinker:
The days are long and strained because we keep getting weighed down with the social loads from Washington DC enterprising thief's, who just keep trying to steal our last dollar, until our last dying breath.
This walk with America humanity has been a stabbing disappointment to the hope that I once had in my youth.
I did not know just how bad these guys were, I never
had a clue. By the time that I learned the truth of the people working
in our government, it was to late to protect my sense of humor. It is
not very funny to me anymore.The days are long and strained because we keep getting weighed down with the social loads from Washington DC enterprising thief's, who just keep trying to steal our last dollar, until our last dying breath.
This walk with America humanity has been a stabbing disappointment to the hope that I once had in my youth.
I can't laugh at what they do, or how they do it. The people working for the American government in Washington DC are the criminal hustlers that has been practicing this scam for the past 250 years.
After
our forefathers gave the first 13 United States a republic to govern the
new government. It took about 50 years after that for the crooks to
turn Washington DC into the crooked enterprise that we see today.
The truth is very clear, it is who you know, not what you know that get you ahead in America. How many times has our country's prosecutor indicted the corrupt Businessmen and Politicians running Washington DC? Hardly ever is the correct answer.
The United State constitution is a front for the once upon a time in America true criminal enterprise.
Before we all die they the Washington DC politicians must
one day pay for their crimes. Until the American people put the bad guys
into prison for the crime that they committed in the land that our
children inherited, and now live in Americans will never live in a good society, or
culture.The truth is very clear, it is who you know, not what you know that get you ahead in America. How many times has our country's prosecutor indicted the corrupt Businessmen and Politicians running Washington DC? Hardly ever is the correct answer.

Dandy Don's LSU Sports Report
I headed out to Baton Rouge yesterday to watch the LSU football team practice and was really impressed with what I saw.
The energy level was very high, aided in part by the facts that ESPN's
Game Day crew had been there for much of the day and there were a large
number of high school coaches there for the coaches’ clinic. Just like
last time, I watched most of the practice through the LCD screen of my
video camera, capturing some footage to share with you. Click here to check out my 2:44 video from the practice.
When we were first allowed in, the team was doing an interesting new drill. Three down linemen were lined up on each side of the ball, plus a quarterback and a running back. The offensive linemen would try to open up a hole for the back to run through, while the three defenders would try to stop the back. It was an interesting drill, and one that’s probably more practical than the ever-popular Big Cat drill. In my video, you'll see Connor Neighbors (No. 43), Jarrett Fobbs (No. 5) and Jeremy Hill (No. 33) as the backs in the three reps I recorded.
Shortly after that, the team split up for individual drills and I headed outside to watch what Coach Cam Cameron was doing with the offense. What I saw first was a read-option sweep, and the only quarterback used in this drill was freshman Anthony Jennings (No. 10). In the video, you'll see redshirt freshman wide receiver Travin Dural (No. 83) used twice in the backfield, and Alfred Blue (No. 4) once.
In the next drill, which was run from about the 10 yard line, three quarterbacks simultaneously threw to three receivers (wides and tight ends). Zach Mettenberger (No. 8) threw the ball better than the other two, Jennings (No. 10) and Rivers (No. 17). The first three receivers used in this drill were Jarvis Landry (No. 80), Travin Dural (No.83) and tight end Travis Dickson (No. 41). I was really pleased to see Dural getting so much action in the drills I saw, and as I've said before I think he'll be a very special before his days as a Tiger are done.
One other practice tid-bit: Neither Jalen Mills nor Jermauria Rasco participated in practice as each had a planned minor shoulder surgery during spring break. I saw Mills on the sideline with his arm in a sling. Both are expected to be in good shape for fall practice.

It’s been said over and over again this spring, but every time LSU holds a spring practice open to the media, senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger stands head and shoulders above the rest of the quarterbacks on the roster.
Mettenberger’s throws were on the money at a chilly and windy day out on the practice fields. Receivers were having trouble holding on to some poorly thrown passes, but they seemed to catch all of Mettenberger’s because they were on the mark.
There is still a lot of time left before the 2013 season is underway and Mettenberger didn’t have a defense in his face making things difficult, so this is in no way a statement saying he is on his way to an all conference season. But he is doing exactly what he needs to do at this point, and that is be an example for the other quarterbacks on the roster.
At one point, the not-so-nimble Mettenberger was even showing fleet-footed freshman Anthony Jennings the proper way to run the zone-read. Mettenberger will not likely take many of those snaps this fall, but the fact that he knows the proper way to do it and is teaching the freshman is a testament to his knowledge of the offense.
Speaking of those other quarterbacks, it looks like Jennings has a leg up on fellow freshman Hayden Rettig on the depth chart. The media didn’t even get to see Rettig throw a pass today, because Jennings was working in with Mettenberger and Stephen Rivers in the passing drill.
Jennings threw a couple off-target passes, but he looked good overall today. Better, in fact, than Rivers, who might end up in danger of losing his backup quarterback role if Jennings keeps it up.
Rivers was the most erratic of the three, looking like he had difficulty completing some passes in the wind. He has not looked great this spring, according to my untrained eye.
The receivers had difficulty catching the ball today. The quarterbacks, receivers and tight ends were all working on a drill near the end zone, where three quarterbacks would drop back and throw redzone routes to three different receivers.
Mettenberger said after Tuesday’s practice that the receivers had their worst day catching the ball statistically. It didn’t look much better today.
Junior Odell Beckham dropped one on a high-thrown ball near the back of the end zone. Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron got after him after the drop, saying the high throw was where the ball would need to go in a redzone situation.
To his credit, Beckham made a nice leaping catch in the back of the endzone on his ensuing route.
I didn’t gather much from the running backs or offensive linemen today. There’s only so much you can gain from watching backs run three-quarters speed through drills or watching offensive linemen push against static opponents.
That’s all I’ve got for today, I’ll update this post later with some notes from coach Les Miles press conference, which kicks off at 6 p.m. tonight.

Every day at spring practice, new offensive coordinator has his receivers, running backs and tight ends go through a four-level gauntlet catching passes between obstructions, on the sidelines and over teammates.
None of the skill players are exempt from the drills, and there’s a reason for that. The LSU running backs, long the forgotten men in the LSU passing game, are expected to play a much bigger role under Cameron’s direction this season.
“We’ve always expected our running backs and fullbacks to catch the ball, I just think they’re going to get more of an opportunity to showcase that,” said senior quarterback Zach Mettenberger.
That vaunted LSU backfield of recent years hasn’t gotten much of an opportunity to show off its hands, but that doesn’t look to be the case this season.
“The offense Cam Cameron is bringing to the table for a running back is awesome,” said senior running back Alfred Blue, who has 11 catches in three years at LSU. “It’s versatile, it’s very versatile for a running back. It let’s you expose your talents.”
When looking at the Tigers’ offense the last four years, it becomes apparent the backfield was considered a last-ditch check down rather than a primary option.
LSU running backs combined for 114 catches in the last four years. That number represents only about 15 percent of the passes LSU completed in that same time span. The backfield’s best pass-catching year in that time frame came a year ago, when LSU running backs caught 41 of LSU’s 208 completed passes
That number pales in comparison to Cameron’s four full seasons as the Baltimore Ravens’ offensive coordinator. Since Cameron was fired mid-season last year, these statistics come from the 2008-2011 seasons.
Cameron’s backfields reeled in 399 balls in that time frame, almost exactly a third of the Ravens’ 1,202 completed passes. The Baltimore running backs hauled catches in with consistency, accounting for between 32 and 35 percent of the Ravens’ catches in those four years.
It helped Cameron’s cause that he had Ray Rice in his backfield. Rice grabbed at least 63 passes in each of his three full seasons as the starting running back in Cameron’s offense.
When asked if he started licking his chops when thinking of what Rice was able to do as a pass-catcher in Cameron’s offense, senior running back Alfred Blue offered an ear-to-ear smile.
“Seeing Ray Rice move out of the backfield and catch those screens, go on a route and mismatch on a linebacker - you’re right I’m licking my chops,” Blue said. “That’s all I want all day - a mismatch on a linebacker, catch the ball and blow right past him, I’m in the second level.”
The LSU corps of backs is a physical and brutish one. It has graced the highlight reels by running over and past opposing defenders, not making nifty catches in space.
Perhaps nobody fits that mold better than Kenny Hilliard. The Patterson native runs with devastating power and deceptive speed and it seems like he’s built solely to take the ball right from the quarterback’s hands rather than catching it in the open. His 144 career carries dwarf his six career catches.
But Hilliard and the rest of the LSU runners are excited for the opportunity to show they are not a bunch of one-trick ponies.
“I caught a lot of balls in high school and I can truly say I’ve got great hands,” Hilliard said. “That’s going to be a big advantage for me catching the ball out of the backfield. All of us can catch the ball.”
That’s a good thing. If they couldn’t catch the ball, they just might not play in this new offensive attack.
“His motto is ‘Brilliant at the basics,’” Blue said. “So he’s teaching us that we’ve got to be able to catch the ball if we want to be in his offense.”

Dandy Don's LSU Sports Report
In football news, Barkevious Mingo and Eric Reid have both been invited to New York City for the NFL Draft in two weeks.
The draft will be held April 25-27 at Radio City Music Hall in
Manhattan. The first round will be held starting at 7 p.m. on Thursday,
April 25 followed by the second and third rounds on Friday, and rounds
four through seven on Saturday. ESPN, ESPN2 and the NFL Network will
televise all seven rounds of the draft. Mingo is expected to be the
first LSU player selected as he’s projected as a top 10 overall pick by
many draft experts. Reid is projected to be a mid-to-late first round
selection.
ESPN College Gameday’s Chris Fowler & Kirk Herbstreit will be special guests of LSU tomorrow as they will be visiting with Coach Miles and getting a spring practice update on the Tigers. The two will interview head coach Les Miles at 12:40 p.m. CT on SportsCenter followed by an interview with quarterback Zach Mettenberger at 1:15 CT that will air during College Football Live at 2:30 p.m. CT.
According to reports, LSU will have another special guest this weekend as class of 2014 sensation Jabrill Peppers will be making a visit. Peppers (DE, 6'1", 210, Paramus, New Jersey) is rated by Rivals as the second best prospect in the nation behind Da'Shawn Hand of Woodbridge, VA and ahead of Louisiana's own Leonard Fournette who they have as the nation's No. 3 player. As most of you know, Fournette (RB, 6'2", 220, St. Augustine) is ranked No. 1 on my list of Top LA prospects for 2014 and is the biggest prospects to come out of Louisiana in years. To be ranked higher than Fournette nationally says a lot about Peppers. At this time, Peppers leaders are said to be OSU, Stanford, Michigan, and LSU. Here's Peppers’ highlight video.
