Another serious crime against women by a trojan athlete, without any jail time... So what else is new?
What's new is that THIS time, the perp is ADMITTING to the crime (or at least PART of it). To avoid jail, ex-trojan problem child Frostee Rucker just struck a plea bargain this week, admitting to False Imprisonment and Vandalism in an incident that occurred while Rucker was playing for sc.
The girl was his women, or ex-woman, and thanks to the bargain with the D.A., the Assault charges were dropped. Who would ever think that the D.A. would make a deal with a trojan?
So, just like O.J., Rucker gets off with no time behind bars. He falsely imprisons a girl, and he doesn't get imprisoned for it?? Instead, all Rucker gets is 3 years Probation, 750 hours of Community Service, and 1 year of Counseling. How would you like to be this guy's Counselor? We hope it's a woman, and not one who likes Neanderthals or celebrities.
Speaking of celebrities, the newest celebrity of the four-legged variety is Street Sense, who justified the public's faith in him by winning the Kentucky Derby. Street Sense started out as the second choice, but bettors' wagers made him the 9-to-2 favorite by Post Time. And 2 seconds after the starting gate opened, all his backers were probably wishing that they had bet on other horses. Street Sense settled in NINETEENTH in the 20-horse field. It's hard enough to come from the back of the pack in a normal, 12-horse race, but in the Derby, with the track full of 20 horses, it's almost impossible to navigate all the way to the front.
But jockey Calvin Borel found a way. Borel, known as "Bo-RAIL" due to his affinity for the inside, went to his beloved inside, and the path to victory just magically cleared up for him. It was reminiscent of when certain Pitchers were grooving balls to Sammy Sosa so that he could beat the hated Barry Bonds and Mark trojan McGwire in that Season's Home Run "Derby."
It was theorized that since the other jockeys knew of Borel's penchant for the rail, that they wouldn't let him have an open path there, but that theory did not pan out. Instead, they OPENED the path for him. The ride was so smooth and the comeback so dramatic, that it almost looked pre-choreographed.
No matter who you bet on, the one thing all Bruin fans can agree on is that those winning Blue and Gold jockey silks look good in the Winner's Circle.

And don't forget Paris: There is a story going around that we would love to sink our teeth into, but the "proof" doesn't seem to be evident. But just in case it's true: Ex-trojan Matt Leinart just fired one of his CAA Agents, because Peyton Manning got to host "Saturday Night Live" before Leinart. Apparently, Manning had the same Agent as Leinart, and Leinart is too dense to realize that Manning's winning of the Super Bowl is what made him worthy of hosting, so Matt was reportedly irate at the Agent. It is apparently killing Matt that Manning's SNL episode was so well-received. It has already been repeated this season, and it was excerpted in last night's "Best of" episode. Every time Ballroom Boy sees that fake United Way ad with Peyton beaning the kids, he gets the same knot he gets when he sees clips of Vince Young kicking sc's ass in the Rose Bowl.
Perhaps Matt can get an ex-girlfriend to console him. Of course to do so, he'll have to pay Paris Hilton a conjugal visit in JAIL. They let Frostee Rucker go free, but Matt's ex-skank Hotel Heiress is doing 45 days for her already-under-probation DUI. She actually had the audacity to claim that she didn't know that her license was suspended. Is she perfect for Leinart, or what?
