Strike A Pose

On Tuesday, a story broke that the committee that gives out the Heisman Trophy was thinking about stripping Reggie Bush of the trophy he won in 2005. On the day that this announcement was made, some asked why the same committee had not taken similar actions against O.J. Simpson. There is a very obvious answer to this question.

The reason why Reggie Bush might have his Heisman Trophy taken away was for actions he did in December 2004, when he was in college. These actions resulted in Bush being deemed ineligible for that year, and thus ineligible for the games where he did the things that earned him the Heisman Trophy.

The reason why O.J. Simpson is being talked about having his Heisman Trophy taken away was for the murders he was accused of in 1994. O.J. Simpson won the Heisman Trophy in 1968, years before the murders he was accused of. Even if he was to be found guilty of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Mark Goldman, his college eligibility would not be in question, as HE HAD ALREADY GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE! So, the Heisman Trophy committee would have no grounds to strip O.J. Simpson of the Heisman Trophy he won.

Now, can we talk about who is going to receive the national championship USC forfeited?




Coffee Talk with Liz Rosenberg

Hunter Red is sitting in his office. He's looking at his computer and is reading a story that is very distressful to him. Hunter gets up from his office chair and walks out to the reception area, where the receptionist of The Redertainment Corporation Of America, Liz Fey, is sitting. Hunter doesn't look at Liz as he begins to speak to her.

"Liz."

Liz is puzzled by this.

"Yes Hunter."

Hunter still does not look at her.

"I read a story today about something that was shown at Penny Arcade Expo. A upcoming Gearbox title named Duke Nukem Forever."

Liz is aware of this story.

"Yes, I read it as well. Don't you find it odd that that game would surface out of the blue like this?"

Hunter turns to look at Liz.

"Liz, I know about your past, for I have experienced it. I know you like to pull little pranks and jokes, many times at the expense of others."

Liz knows that Hunter knows this.

"Yeah."

Hunter looks at Liz sternly.

"I don't like these jokes, especially when you attempt to pull them at the expense of me."

Liz has no idea what Hunter is talking about.

"I have no idea what you are talking about."

Hunter doesn't believe Liz.

"Liz, you need to come clean about this joke. The joke may be funnier the longer it goes on, but taunting people with what they fervently expect always ends in hurt feelings."

Hunter looks away from Liz and goes back into his office and Liz goes back to what she was doing before. The last thing Hunter says before he sits back down in his office chair is,

"I will give you credit Liz. You pulled off this joke masterfully."
