A Warm Holiday Post

This story warms my heart right up. I am so glad everyone is catching the holiday spirit:


John Brantley is a top-rated high school quarterback who had initially planned on attending Texas before deciding instead to stay closer to home in Florida, reportedly because his girlfriend goes there. Because nothing in the world is more pure, charming and altruistic than collegiate athletic recruiting, the Texas fans are handling the news very well, because, well, they are very classy!

Rumours and Rants found Brantley's Myspace page and this is what they found on his message board:

"I wouldn't show up for the All American game in SA this year. It won't be a warm welcome for you. So, what are you going to do when you sit behind Tebow for 3 years and your girlfriend breaks up with you? Yeah, like the other guy said, don't say your word is "solid as oak" when your lying. Also, take all the Longhorn stuff off your board. You're not a horn. ... I just wanted to let you know that my younger brother, who attends UF and is a Sigma Chi, boned your girlfriend a couple of months ago."

In other developments: A boy lost a part of his leg to a loose cannon

Now don't think those two stories weren't related. In the next few days somebody is going to be rigging up a loose cannon either in Florida or Texas. My guess is UF's football team will be involved. This is just a hunch, because as my friend once stated: "There is no turning back, only escalation."

That friend also regretted not turning back. Escalation, loose cannons, murder, regret. They are all connected. Suffice to say: 'I will be monitering further developments.'


BTW: Hardboiled's special guest will be appearing either tomorrow or Monday.
