No snow-globe chilliness intended to Vince -- I have faith that he'll figure this out and grow up and start a new life.  I hope he can leave pro football (and steakhouses) behind for a while.  Maybe he could be a high school coach.  I've always liked him.  There was something touchingly kid-like about it, which I guess also left him prey to poor judgment, greed, impatience, and insinuating sponges. 

I think it's unfortunate that there's such an expectation today that any great college quarterback has to be reborn as the millionaire savior of a pro team.  It should be enough to have been a great college QB.  Look at my childhood hero, James Street.  As far as I know he never took a snap as a pro, instead went on to a successful business career.  Another way that money has changed the game over the past 40 years.

This is the way I look at it. That sprint during the USC game will be with us forever! That sprint is to college football what Citizen Kane is to American filmmaking. So let's just say he's the Orson Welles of college football. Mr Welles also precipitously fell from grace. But we've always got Citizen Kane and we've always got that sprint.

Alors, moi, je suis completement bouleversee du francais de Doc! (I need to learn how to use accents on my computer.) Aubrey, toi aussi, tu n'as rien perdu. Alors que moi...

Jerald, I am amazed and know not what to say about le bon Docteur's French. Aubrey's French is excellent, better than mine, I dare say.  In any case, there is a lot of talk about the (formerly?) fabulous Vince Young, whom I just Wikipedia-ed. His name is mud (or he's fallen in some shit), having apparently spent LOTS of money on high living, and then filing suit against his former manager; also, he's been cut by the Buffalo Bills... help me out here, Aub and Doc.  You know him personally? You have fond memories of him?

Carl's contribution is a funny version of a tres famous French poem by Valery:

 It rains in my heart / Like it rains on the city   

or   
 There is weeping in my heart
 like the rain falling on the town.
Carl's version is "Like it rains in the end zone." HA!

Faithfully translated by
