MARDY GILYARD!. Today Paul Daugherty filled the Sports page with a good read (rare, sure!), but it was Gilyard who provided the inspiration. This story is so good (the real life one, not perticularly Daugherty’s) that it should be a movie so the whole nation can understand what this kid has done with his life. If you missed the story in the paper, and I can understand if you did, here it is: GILYARD

What the NFL has produced in wr’s is usually some ass-hat like TO, Chud Johnson or the old Randy Moss…..What Mardy Gilyard has become, and I’d hope he stays, is certainly anything but “them”! This is not a reflection on any lack of talent (he’s shown us that already!), but strictly on the fact he’s done what he has, and NOT been lost on the lessons. This kid deserves everything he’s gonna get, playing on Sunday’s next year, and hopefully he can inspire more players to follow in his footsteps. These are the players the media should be exploiting over-and-over, not the ones with the sh.tty attitudes and lack of respect.

IF you take one thing from Paul D’s story, take this: …”Every day I get here, I feel so blessed”. I relish every millie-second I have here. I don’t expect nothing. Sometimes, you might feel like people owe you something. I don’t”.

I’ve long waited for the UC Football program to become relevant, and having one of the leaders on this team turn out like this guy makes it all that much sweeter. Great job, great talent, Mr Gilyard.

It would by MY Xmas wish that SOP and his family of Bungle-brass do whatever they can to bring him in as Chud’s replacement, for 2010!…sadly, he doesn’t quite have that negative element that SOP covets so much.
