The cut throat feelings between the U.S. Government and the American people is very disturbing to decent people who would rather like to play nice.
No wonder that nice people don't like hanging around with bad acting people. The feelings of tricking people out of their money, and further harming them with violence. Is not the same as a person who feel relaxed and calm, who wants to play, laugh, and just enjoy the moment. So nice people do not like hurting other people at all.
Who in their right mind would want to hurt another person because they are a strangers. Yet that is what our U.S. Government is doing with the American taxpayers, by over charging and wasting the taxpayers tax money. And also sicking the secretly snooping NSA on innocent hard working American people. And the IRS bullying of the American people with a street law discipline everyone fears. Thuggery.

violent or brutal acts as of thugs
I mean who does that lowdown kind of behavior every day? If you feel nice and kind and honest about yourself and others people you can't work in Washington DC government process today.
Playing the obvious television word hypocrite catch me if you can games, hiding behind lawyer speak to better keep rolling the Government institutionalized corruption. That has become wall to wall entertainment for the ruling political parties nowadays. That U.S.Government corruption process is a very repulsive feeling to the decent people living in America.
The rich and famous celebrity seem to just keep going along with the flavor of the day corruption, saying hypocritical words as they profess to the world that they care themselves. When in reality that they have theirs and are truly simply trying to keep playing along making sure that everything stays that way.
What do we all expect from such a crazy government processed as that, happiness from the pursuit of U.S. Government corruption, good grief?
The rich people that I see on television today
seem very frightened and defensive to me, so I keep wondering just what
has all that political power and wealth bought them?
Decency only seems to come from the good person. Whereas bad behavior seem to only come from the bad people.
That is why our civilization has Penitentiary to house the evil ones.
Now all that we need to do to improve our society is have our country's Federal Government prosecute the bad people in a court of law, in front of a jury. Doing something very practical to help make our family's neighborhoods safer.

JOHNSON: Farewell to the final year
1/23/2014 11:26:37 AM
By LUKE JOHNSON
Tiger Rag Associate Editor
So long, final year of eligibility.
It was nice to know you while you lasted, which was a good, long while. You gave us one more great reason to come out to the stadium on Saturday to cheer on our favorite players on our favorite team. They were guys that had been around the block a few times, guys that dazzled and induced helpless gasps from tens of thousands of people.
You had a good run, final year of eligibility. But your time, officially, is over – at least for those collegiate stars that have even the remotest chance of being selected sometime before the weekend in the NFL draft.
The new (read: latest) NFL collective bargaining agreement, signed in 2011, effectively sounded your death knell. You had to see that the times, they were a-changin’.
You see, football is more than just a game now. It is a high-stakes, cutthroat business, and too many throats were needlessly getting cut the old way. For all parties involved, a change needed to be made, and that left you on the outside looking in.
Wet-behind-the-ears kids were making more money than established veterans in the league, and even though you’re closely associated with college ball, you and I both know that just wasn’t right. It was an affront to those who’d cut their teeth for years on Sundays and, frankly, it was getting out of control. I mean, Sam Bradford was a hell of a prospect coming out of Oklahoma, but giving him $50 million guaranteed before he even threw a professional pass? Ludicrous, and you know it.
It altered the course of the sport, especially when considering the relationship between the college and professional versions. It was a boulder dropped into the waters of professional football, and he ripple effect was great enough that the wave of change rushed into the college ranks.
You knew that was coming, too, but what could you do?
There was no barricade you could’ve erected to suppress that wave. It screamed through your defenses to wash away the barriers that had been in place for college juniors. Now, there’s no reason not to jump ship.
A record 98 underclassmen decided to give you up this year, final year of eligibility, including seven from LSU if you count Alfred Blue, who decided he didn’t want to use the medical redshirt offered to him. A handful of the really exciting ones – guys like Johnny Football and Jeremy Hill -- even ditched your sister, two years of eligibility. Because the obstacles or incentives or whatever the hell it was that you had to keep guys in school before before were swept away with the new CBA.
Before, a guy could consider staying an extra year to vault up the draft boards. He may have been playing with fire, considering the possibility of injury or a down year, but the earnings potential an added year offered outweighed those risks in some cases.
Look at Ndamakong Suh, who parlayed an outstanding senior season at Nebraska into being the second overall pick of the 2010 draft, which, in case you were wondering, was the last time you were relevant. Suh made $40 million guaranteed in his rookie deal, roughly double what Luke Joeckel, the No. 2 overall pick last season was guaranteed.
Guys like Suh do not stick around anymore, and why should they? The potential reward no longer outweighs the risk.
You’re a bright concept, final year of eligibility, and you’ve been around athletes a lot longer than I have. So you know that, especially in the last three decades or so, big-time athletes only play college football as a means to an end.
The overwhelming majority do not come to your hallowed campus halls with dreams of becoming doctors, teachers, or accountants. They come to school to prove themselves worthy of the next level. There’s nothing wrong with that.
I went to college to study journalism, yes. But I was not interested in the study of journalism. I was interested in the practical application of what I’d learned. If the New York Times came calling in my junior year with a job offer, I’d have been out of the Red Stick faster than you can say, "Stop the presses!”
That exact same scenario played out this year at LSU. Jarvis Landry, Odell Beckham, Trai Turner, Ego Ferguson, Freak Johnson, Hill and Blue all heard the call from the next level, and it was too tempting to ignore. By coming back for another season, each of those players would be betting a lot of chips needing a royal flush to win big.
There are the outliers, yes, but each with underlying motivations. La’El Collins decided to give it another go at LSU, but his potential reward is greater than all of the aforementioned players.
Right now, Collins is a fringe right tackle/guard prospect who would likely end up as a second or third round draft pick. With another year at left tackle, where he just completed his first season, Collins might be able to prove himself a capable professional left tackle. Those guys tend to get drafted high and earn a lot of money.
Look, I’ve loved you, final year. Back when I was still a fan rooting for the Wisconsin Badgers in my youth, I got to see guys like Ron Dayne and Chris Chambers dominate in their senior seasons.
You gave me yet another reason to come back to college football every year. But the reasons are a little different now. In this day and age, your younger cousin -- first year of eligibility -- is the belle of the ball. She’s the one drawing eyes to the sport, introducing guys like Leonard Fournette and Brandon Harris to waiting eyes of fans.
You were awesome in your heyday, final year – you’re obsolete now, and that’s ok.

A crazy process is not a better life:
For goodness sakes stop kissing the back side of corruption and realize that money is not everything. That the attitude of a man or women or community really matters. What is wrong with waiting until your four years of college is up, and than enter the NFL after graduation no matter what the pros want?
Are your the master of your own fate and are you going to be just another sucker for fame, fortune, celebrity.
Are you a person of a free will or are you just another addicted human life declining into the woodwork. Much like the social mess that we are creating for our children today. The truth of the matter is that all of what we see and hear is no one fault but our own.
LSU is a college University, not a NFL farm team. Why not try to keep our college University's a place of higher learning teaching the person to help advance their knowledge, and not becoming apart of a process for what is going on now in today's crazy society.
Just because other people act crazy, for whatever reason, you don't need to follow. Why not try to treat each other better than that? P.S. The shiny polished floors of a new gymnasium don't overshadow a child's education.....just sayin!!!!

BATON ROUGE – Jeff Grimes,
who served as offensive line coach at Auburn when the Tigers won the
2010 national title, has been named offensive line coach and running
game coordinator at LSU, head coach Les Miles announced on Tuesday.
Grimes served in the same capacity at Virginia Tech in 2013, helping the Hokies to an 8-5 record and a berth in the Sun Bowl.
"Jeff comes to our staff with great experience and as coach who is very familiar with the SEC,” Miles said. "He helped Auburn win a national title in 2010 and has been part of some very successful programs.
"He’s a tremendous technician and will do a great job teaching our offensive line. He has a track record of putting guys in the NFL and producing outstanding offensive linemen. He’s a great addition to the staff and I’m looking forward to working with him for many years.”
At LSU, Grimes will inherit an offensive line that returns four starters, including senior left tackle La'el Collins, who will likely be a pre-season All-American as well as a leading candidate for the Outland Trophy. Other returning starters for the Tigers include senior center Elliott Porter, junior guard Vadal Alexander and sophomore tackle Jerald Hawkins.
In his only season at Virginia Tech in 2013, Grimes’ offensive line helped the Hokies rack up 4,628 total yards, an average of 356 yards a contest.
During Auburn’s 2010 national championship season, Grimes’ coached an offensive line helped set school records for total yards of offense (6,989) and points (577) for a second consecutive season. The Tigers led the Southeastern Conference and were No. 5 nationally in rushing yards per game (284.8) and led the SEC in scoring (41.2)
Auburn’s 2010 team set school records for rushing touchdowns (41), passing touchdowns (31), rushing yardage (3,987) and had three offensive linemen earn individual honors. Tackle Lee Ziemba was a consensus All-America selection and earned the Jacobs Trophy as the SEC’s best blocker before he was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the seventh round of the 2011 NFL Draft. Guard Byron Isom was named second-team All-SEC and center Ryan Pugh earned third-team All-America honors.
Following the 2011 season, tackle Brandon Mosley was selected by the New York Giants in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft after earning All-SEC honors his senior season.
In his first season at Auburn in 2009, Grimes helped an offense that set numerous school records that year, including points in a season (433), total yards of offense in a season (5,613) and plays in a season (914). Auburn’s 266 first downs in 2009 was the second-best total in school history, and its average of 431.8 yards per game ranked fourth.
In addition, Grimes coached both Pugh and Ziemba to second-team All-SEC honors during the 2009 season.
Prior to his stint at Auburn, Grimes served as the assistant head coach, running game coordinator and offensive line coach at Colorado for two seasons from 2007-08. Tyler Polumbus, a guard for Grimes in 2007 at Colorado, just completed his third year as the starting left tackle for the Washington Redskins, while Edwin Harrison is a starting tackle for the Calgary Stampeders in the Canadian Football League.
A 20-year coaching veteran, Grimes went to Colorado from Brigham Young, where he coached the offensive line for three seasons from 2004-06. His 2006 BYU linemen were a large part of the Cougars’ Mountain West Conference championship team, which finished 11-2.
Grimes’ success continued at Arizona State as four of his 2001 seniors were drafted into the NFL, marking just the second time that had been done at any school since the NFL adopted the
seven-round draft format in 1993. Tackle Levi Jones was the 10th overall pick in the 2002 NFL Draft by the Bengals, followed by Scott Peters and Travis Scott in the fourth round and Kyle Kosier in the seventh round.
In one season at Boise State in 2000, Grimes’ offensive line helped the Broncos lead the nation in scoring offense with an average of 44.9 points per game. That year, the Broncos went 10-2 and beat Texas-El Paso in the Humanitarian Bowl.
Grimes began his coaching career in 1993 as a high school coach at Riverside High School in El Paso. After two years there, he moved on to the college ranks, first working as a graduate assistant at Rice (1995) and then at Texas A&M (1996-97).
Grimes earned four letters as an offensive tackle for UTEP between 1987 and 1990, including three years under former Boise State and Arizona State head coach Dirk Koetter when he was UTEP’s offensive coordinator. He also spent two years playing for current Kansas City Chiefs’ head coach Andy Reid.
He was in training camp with both the Los Angeles Raiders of the NFL and the San Antonio Riders of the World Football League before entering coaching.
Grimes, a native of Garland, Texas, and his wife, Sheri, have four children, daughters Bailey and Jada and sons, Garrison and Greydon.

I
feel better about LSU new offensive line coach and I am look forward to
seeing just what kind of a positive effect coach Jeff Grimes will have
on the LSU 2014 football team. If he is what they said about him comes
true, LSU offense will be a lot of fun to watch next football season.
The passing game in collage football has advance sure enough, but I still very much enjoy looking at great line play of the big guys blocking the other football team out of the way. Creating space for guys like Leonard Fournette to run through. |
