Black and white America and Jeremy Hill



Tinker:

The American News Media has been living on black and white racial tension just about every day and night for the past 40 years now. 

Sensational storyline with catchy talking points and sound bites is the TV networks favorite thing to program on television. Because flash, and crash, sex, and crime, and of course black and white racial tension plays very good on television. Attracting a lot of people to keep watching television means big time advertising money for the TV networks.

The TV News Media has become apart of a big money business spreading eye catching
racial hard feelings recording racism back and forth between the TV networks with guys like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton among others keeping the racial tension fires burning in America living rooms on a daily basis. I mean out of sight and out of mind would simply ruin this big money racism hustle on television.

Do you really think that the NAACP,
TV News Media, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton,  wants the black and white American people to get along?

In Reversal, Florida Judge Okays Testimony About Trayvon Martin’s Marijuana Usage


Jurors in the George Zimmerman murder trial will be able to hear defense testimony that Trayvon Martin had small amounts of marijuana in his system at the time he was shot to death in February 2012.

In a ruling this afternoon, Judge Debra Nelson rejected a prosecution request to bar a portion of a toxicology report that revealed Martin had been smoking pot at some point prior to Zimmerman killing him with a single gunshot to the heart.

Nelson, who previously granted a prosecution motion to limit testimony about the government toxicology report, reversed herself in the wake of last Friday’s testimony by the medical examiner who performed the Martin autopsy. Zimmerman’s lawyers will apparently introduce findings from the toxicology report through the testimony of a defense forensics expert.

Medical examiner Shiping Bao told jurors that he had changed his opinion with regard to whether Martin’s marijuana level could have affected his physical or mental state on the night of the shooting. Bao initially concluded that the amount of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) in Martin’s blood would not have had any impact on the 17-year-old's behavior.

However, during his testimony last week, Bao referenced Martin’s THC level, noting that “Marijuana could have no effect or some effect.”

In Zimmerman’s call to a non-emergency police line, he told a dispatcher that a person he was observing (who turned out to be Martin) appeared to be “on drugs.”

Zimmerman’s lawyers have previously argued that they should be allowed to introduce evidence of Martin’s drug use, pointing to text messages appearing to refer to his use of marijuana. Additionally, the attorneys also unsuccessfully argued for the admittance of a pair of photos of pot plants that were found on Martin’s cell phone. Other recovered images showed a handgun and Martin blowing smoke from his mouth (as seen above).

Defensive Line: No Reason to Worry  (Posted on 7/8/13 at 10:58 pm)



Our defensive line this year will surprise some people. Although it doesn't have as much proven experience, it is filled with unproven talent. We all know what Freak and Rasco can do, along with Ego. The starting four will be Hunter, Freak, Ego, and Rasco. Danielle Hunter will be a force with his pass rush ability. Also Allen at DE and Quentin Thomas at DT will both provide the line with back up experience. Ronnie Feist will also be a key back up at DE.

Now with the younger guys. Mickey Johnson will see playing time at DT with a solid 2 years under his belt to prepare. Patterson is honestly the only true freshman I see us red shirting. Every other true freshman defensive lineman will see lots of meaningful playing time IMO. I see us playing Beckwith at DE this year because of the surplus of talent at LB. Gilmore and LaCouture will be monsters at DT. Herron will be as advertised at DE and I think Bower will surprise some people early on.

To wrap things up; the lack of depth may worry some people. But the defensive line will be excellent in my opinion. The entire defense and, for that matter, the entire team's success will largely depend on how the defensive line plays. I trust Chief and Coach Brick to have these guys ready to dominate. Should be an exciting season.

Jeremy Hill Charged With Battery

NEW ORLEANS -- LSU running back Jeremy Hill and another man were formally charged in Baton Rouge on Monday with misdemeanor simple battery in connection with a late-April scuffle in a bar parking lot.

Hill and Robert Bayardo, who is not an LSU student, will be arraigned on Friday, East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore said.

The matter has put Hill's 2013 season in doubt because LSU's leading rusher last season is already on probation stemming from his January 2012 plea of misdemeanor carnal knowledge of a juvenile.

Hill's probationary status likely will not be reviewed by the court for possible revocation until the charges have been resolved, Moore said. State District Judge Bonnie Jackson in Baton Rouge already has placed more restrictive conditions on Hills' probation since his April 27 arrest, including a 9 p.m.-6 a.m. curfew and a ban from bars.

LSU coach Les Miles has suspended Hill pending the outcome of the case. On Monday, LSU spokesman Michael Bonnette said he did not expect Miles or the university to have any further comment.

"We're letting the legal system run its course," Bonnette said.

Hill's attorney, Marci Blaize, would not comment on the case Monday, but said she may talk more about the case after Hill's next appearance in court.

Police have said evidence includes a mobile phone video which shows Hill throwing a punch to the side of the head of the victim. The video also shows Hill's target being knocked out seconds later by Bayardo, who was initially booked with felony second-degree battery.

Blaize has portrayed Hill as being provoked, asserting that the video, which she has reviewed but which is not public record at this time, does not capture interaction between Hill and others which led to the exchange of blows. Blaize also has said Hill was heckled about several things, including his previous arrest stemming from a sexual relationship with a then-14-year-old girl at his high school, when Hill was 18.

Hill's plea in that matter resulted in a six-month suspended sentence and two years' probation, allowing him to enroll at LSU and play football last season.

The 20-year-old rushed for 755 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2012, his freshman season. Hill got increased playing time after season-opening starter Alfred Blue went out with a season-ending knee injury in LSU's third game.

LSU running back Jeremy Hill was formally charged with simple battery Monday by the East Baton Rouge District Attorney's office in connection with a bar fight April 27. He will be arraigned Friday, District Attorney Hillar Moore said.

Hill, who has been suspended indefinitely by LSU Coach Les Miles, will enter his plea in Judge Mike Irwin's Section E district court. Hill's attorney, Marci Blaize, declined an email request for comment.

Hill, LSU's leading rusher last season, was arrested at 3:50 a.m. after fleeing the scene of the fight, which occurred at about 2:13 a.m. outside Reggie's bar in Tigerland. Hill and another man, Robert Bayardo, allegedly punched the victim, Connor Baldridge, according to the police report which includes officers viewing a cell phone video of the fight.

Bayardo, who was arrested for second degree battery, has also been charged with simple battery.

Hill, 20, was suspended by Miles in May. Miles has previously said he would let the legal process run its course before taking further action.

Hill was on probation at the time of his arrest and has since had the terms of his probation altered to include a 9 p.m.-to-6 a.m. curfew by District Court Judge Bonnie Jackson. He is scheduled for a review of the terms on Aug. 16.

Moore said previously his office would move for Hill's probation to be revoked, which could result in a six-month jail sentence. But the conditions of probation are up to Jackson.

The arrest violated the two-year probation which Jackson handed Hill after he pleaded guilty in January of 2012 to misdemeanor carnal knowledge of a juvenile. Hill has also been ordered by Jackson ordered him to undergo substance abuse evaluation and follow any recommended treatment.

Hill allegedly punched Connor Baldridge behind the left ear and Bayardo knocked him out with another punch. Hill and Bayardo then exchanged high fives, the police report said.

Hill was arrested near his residence at the West Campus Apartments. He admitted to being in Tigerland earlier but denied being involved in the altercation even after being shown the video.

As a freshman last season, Hill led the Tigers with 755 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns. His arrest could prove damaging to his chance of playing in 2013.

According to Jim Kleinpeter of Nola.com, LSU running back Jeremy Hill was formally charged with simple battery Monday by the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office and faces arraignment Friday.

The charge is related to an April 27 bar fight in which Hill was accused of punching a man in the back of the head. Hill, who has been suspended indefinitely from the LSU football team, will enter a plea in Judge Mike Erwin’s Section E district court on Friday.

Via Nola.com:
Hill was on probation at the time of his arrest and has since had the terms of his probation altered to include a 9 p.m.-to-6 a.m. curfew by District Court Judge Bonnie Jackson.

The arrest violated the two-year probation which Jackson handed Hill after he pleaded guilty in January of 2012 to misdemeanor carnal knowledge of a juvenile. Hill has also been ordered by Jackson ordered him to undergo substance abuse evaluation and follow any recommended treatment.

Hill allegedly punched Connor Baldridge behind the left ear and Bayardo knocked him out with another punch. Hill and Bayardo then exchanged high fives, the police report said.
The Tigers’ leading rusher in 2012 as a freshman, Hill could see his 2013 season jeopardized by this legal matter.

Jeremy Hill went from being a college football hero to a man charged with battery, who went ahead anyway and started punching another man behind the head in a outside street bar fight - that is truly repulsive. But again is much better then facing a charge of manslaughter or worse, murder.

Whatever the Judge think is suitable punishment according to the law and should also be OK with Jeremy, because he is still a very lucky person. Someone up there still love him.

Citizenship like love is a two way street and I would think even more so for a man like Jeremy Hill with above average football talent.

The 10 best and five worst coaches in college football

Once upon a time, around this point in the summer, I preempted my usual Mailbag format for a week in favor of something sure to grab readers' attention. Call it my version of a TV sweeps stunt. But my annual list of the "10 best and five worst" coaches heading into the season eventually faded away, in part because the 10 best didn't change much from one year to the next, but more so because -- unintentionally -- the "five worst" section inevitably stole all the spotlight. (It gave this Charlottesville, Va., columnist, for one, fodder for a day. In fact, readers should probably just stop this column now since it "... wasn't written by someone I know to be extremely knowledgeable of college football.")

But enough time has passed to merit a 2013 preseason edition (and to break it apart from the Mailbag), and as the exercise below shows, the "10 best" list has changed considerably in six years. Most notably, the No. 1 coach at that time (Pete Carroll) is in the NFL now, while the new No. 1 (Nick Saban, of course) was in the NFL then. As for the "five worst," I must be getting soft in my old age. I'll still provide five names, but I'm listing them alphabetically so as to avoid branding someone "the worst coach in college football." Readers can decide that for themselves.

Before I get into my list, it's necessary to revisit the methodology behind these admittedly subjective rankings. Please note that they represent the best and worst coaches right now. They are not career achievement awards. Picture an inverted triangle, with the most recent season on the top line (the widest), the 2011 season below that, and so on. Each season is thus weighted a little bit heavier than the last. Someone like Mack Brown, who easily made this list six years ago, is nowhere to be found because his past three mediocre seasons are more relevant today than his 2005 national title. That said, I do like to see more than a one- or two-year track record before anointing a coach. Consider it my lesson learned from Charlie Weis.

As for my criteria -- well, it varies. National coach of the year awards tend to go to guys deemed to have overachieved at their respective school, as doing more with less is an obvious sign of effective coaching. There are plenty of those guys here. But make no mistake, it still takes a strong leader to consistently win at a traditional powerhouse. This list offers a mix of both.

1. Nick Saban, Alabama. He's won four BCS championships (2003, '09, '11, '12) over his last eight seasons in the college ranks and turned Alabama, and LSU before it, into a recruiting machine. Saban's teams' dominance in the past two title games against previously undefeated foes LSU and Notre Dame is a testament to his preparation skills, and his program's infrastructure -- relying on an enormous support staff to maximize efficiency -- has become a model for the rest of the sport.

2. Urban Meyer, Ohio State. While the brash and often outspoken 48-year-old certainly has his share of critics, it's hard to argue with his résumé. Meyer has gone 116-23 (.828) at four different schools, posting undefeated seasons at both Utah (2004) and Ohio State (2012) to go with a pair of BCS titles at Florida (2006 and '08). While initially viewed as a spread-offense guru, he is now renowned for his unique ability to charm and connect with both recruits and players, something that's produced consistent success.

3. Chris Petersen, Boise State. Now entering his eighth season in charge of the Broncos, Petersen has gone 84-8 to rack up an insane .913 winning percentage. Last year's team -- the first in the post-Kellen Moore era -- was one of the biggest rebuilding projects he's had, and it still finished 11-2. Petersen has no equal when it comes to player development. Boise never sniffs the top of the recruiting rankings and yet has produced seven first- or second-round NFL draft picks under his watch.

4. Gary Patterson, TCU. Here's what I wrote about Patterson in 2007: "Does anyone get less credit for running a consistently successful program than this guy?" And that was before two BCS bids, an undefeated 2010 campaign and an impressive transition to the Big 12. While the Horned Frogs still have plenty to prove following a 7-6 debut in their new league, Patterson has long since demonstrated that he's one of the top defensive minds the sport has seen over the past decade.

5. Bill Snyder, Kansas State. I know I said this list isn't based on career achievement, but it's hard not to bring up Snyder's '90s miracle work in Manhattan -- particularly now that he has engineered a second surprising turnaround. The Wildcats, 39-45 from 2004-10 (three of those seasons under Ron Prince), went a combined 21-5 in Snyder's third and fourth years back at the helm, including capturing last year's Big 12 title. There's no magic formula or trademark strategy at Kansas State. Snyder simply wins.

6. Les Miles, LSU. While the Mad Hatter's diction and game management can be bewildering at times, his eight-year tenure in Baton Rouge has been nothing short of extraordinary. The Tigers have won at least 10 games in all but two seasons, going 47-17 in SEC play, and reached two BCS championship games, winning one (2007). Miles' program is a fixture near the top of the annual recruiting rankings and churns out a virtual assembly line of prized NFL prospects.

7. Kevin Sumlin, Texas A&M. I have a feeling he'll be even higher on this list in a couple of years. Sumlin is the consummate CEO coach, imparting his vision (an up-tempo offense, attacking defense) to his staff and hiring excellent coordinators to execute it. Like Meyer, his charisma and confidence rub off on players. After leading both Houston (in 2011) and A&M (last year) to their best seasons in decades, Sumlin is now recruiting at a previously unattainable level in Aggieland.

8. Bob Stoops, Oklahoma. This ranking may seem a bit low for a guy who has won eight Big 12 titles and compiled an .801 winning percentage, but the Sooners have shown some cracks since reaching the 2008 BCS championship game -- especially over the past two seasons (though they still won 10 games in both 2011 and '12). Stoops came up as a defensive coach, but his program has long ranked among the nation's most powerful and innovative on offense.

9. Bobby Petrino, Western Kentucky. He's back after a year spent in exile, and while Petrino isn't likely to rank among anyone's top coaches in the charm or ethics departments, his offensive game-planning and play-calling aptitude is hard to dispute. In eight seasons as a college head coach, he has produced four top-12 teams and done so at two schools -- Louisville and Arkansas -- that were hardly fixtures in elite territory before his tenure. Best of luck, future Sun Belt and Conference USA opponents.

10. Art Briles, Baylor. Briles doesn't get nearly the national recognition he deserves, particularly considering just how astonishing Baylor's rise would have seemed just four years ago. The Bears failed to post a winning record in their first 14 seasons in the Big 12; they've gone 25-14 in the three seasons since, twice knocking off top-five teams, producing a Heisman winner and maintaining one of the nation's most explosive offenses even after RGIII's departure.

Just missed: Notre Dame's Brian Kelly, South Carolina's Steve Spurrier, Louisville's Charlie Strong, Georgia's Mark Richt, Arkansas' Bret Bielema

Five coaches who could be on this list in three years: Michigan's Brady Hoke, Stanford's David Shaw, Clemson's Dabo Swinney, Northwestern's Pat Fitzgerald, Miami's Al Golden


The five worst coaches (in alphabetical order)


Tim Beckman, Illinois. I may be jumping the gun here, but Beckman -- hired at Illinois following a pair of eight-win seasons at Toledo -- has done little to inspire confidence either on the field (2-10 in 2012) or on the recruiting trail with the Illini.

Ron English, Eastern Michigan. Patience is a virtue in Ypsilanti, Mich., where the Eagles have gone 10-38 (7-25 in the MAC) in four seasons under the former Michigan and Louisville defensive coordinator.

Kirk Ferentz, Iowa. The 2009 Orange Bowl proved an aberration in Ferentz's otherwise unimpressive recent tenure. Take away that one 11-2 season and the Hawkeyes are 47-41 since 2005 under their $3.6 million-per-year coach.

Lane Kiffin, USC. Any confidence inspired by a breakthrough 10-2 campaign in 2011 was shattered by last year's 7-6 implosion, when Kiffin's USC squad -- without question -- finished as the biggest underachiever in the country.

Charlie Weis, Kansas. Weis' past five seasons as a college coach consisted of 3-9, 7-6 and 6-6 records at Notre Dame, one 7-6 campaign as Florida's offensive coordinator and a 1-11 debut at Kansas.
