Why the Heisman Award is a joke

Ok, so you know I love sports and football especially. Last year Reggie Bush won the Heisman award and he was very much deserving. Last year was the exception to the rule though because the most deserving person never wins the Heisman which is supposed to be the award for the best college football player. It’s not the award for the best college football player in the BCS conferences which is what it usually ends up being. In 2005 Garrett Wolfe of Northern Illinois was the second leading rusher in the NCAA with 1,580 yards and 16 touchdowns. Deangelo Williams (now with the Carolina Panthers) was first with 1,964 yards. Reggie Bush was 4th with 1,740 yards. Bush was fiest in BCS conferences though being in the PAC-10. Bush did have the most yards in a single game thoguh while Wolfe had the second and third. Now, halfway through the 2006 season Garrett Wolfe has 1395 yards and he has 6 games to go. Even though he’s in the MAC he is playing quality opponents. He had 171 yards against number 1 Ohio State University. At this rate he will run for 2,800 yards an probably have 1,000 yards more than second place but will he get the Heismana. HELL NO, he’s in the MAC. This is a travesty and it’s why Ifeel the Heisman award is a joke. If you love football you should agree. Wolfe will be drafted and have a great NFL career with his abilities. I’m sorry Garrett Wolfe that you will not win the heisman which you deserve. If I had a vote I would vote for you.

Collecting Soup Labels

Ok, So I’m a member of the Lions Club Chapter in my town and we do alot of really good things for the community and the nation. Helping blind people and trying to find a cure for blindness. I found out something tonight that I could do but I have a problem. We can collect Campbell Soup labels and and they can use them to buy computers and software for the Governor Morehead School for the Blind. They have this software that speaks the text out off of the computer so the blind students can hear it. It’s a really cool thing. Now if you’re still here you’ll remember that I said there was a problem. I don’t eat soup…I know, I know. It’s good for me and all that. So, heres where you come in. Do you eat soup? Campbells soup to be exact. Well, it would be really cool if you wanted to collect labels for me. You can email me and I’ll give you my mailing address. If thats too much I would be happy to send you a self addresses stamped envelope. Your help would be really cool.

Why do you care Jason Calcanis?

Ok, so I was just over at Jason Calcanis’ blog and he is apparently on the warpath against Pete Wright and Payperpost. Apparently he thinks is his persomal mission to shut down Payperpost and for the life of me I can’t figure out why. Since becoming a member of payperpost I’ve met some of the coolest people. I would much rather read the blogs of people like Cass, and Colleen than the negative holier than thou bloggers like this Calcanis, and Scoble. Just because these people are high up in the IT industry and feel justified for posting ads for their companies and their friends, they try to come down on the Posties for making 5 bucks for posting and the advertisers who unlike Microsoft can’t afford millions of dollars for advertising. Pete Wright made many valid arguments and then Jason Calcanis made childish attacks and insults such as

“I just looked at the sad, sad advertisers using PayPerPost. We don’t sell ads to losers like this. We sell ads to the top 100 advertisers on the Internet. “

Dude, are you in high school where you have to resort to name calling because some other company beat you to a good idea. I’ll take my new “Postie” friends over your high and mighty IT guys anyday. Get a life. Check out the Debate between Pete Wright and Jason Calcanis and see who the adult is. Thanks Payperpost for letting everyday bloggers who don’t have thousands of readers make a few dollars.
