Another Whining Doh!mer

USC safety Taylor Mays got blindsided today by Congressman Dan Lungren (R-Calif.) during the House Judiciary Committee hearing on NFL head injuries.

Lungren, a Notre Dame alum, first talked about former Oakland Raiders player Jack Tatum setting the bar for hits designed to injure. Then he moved on to complaining about Florida quarterback Tim Tebow being rushed back from a concussion, and finally to Mays.

The congressman didn't identify Mays by name, but said while attending a Notre Dame game a couple of weeks ago he "saw a headhunter on the field" rip the helmet off a player. Listen to his comments here (at about the 2:38.00 mark).

Lungren also got his facts wrong. He said there was not a penalty called on the play, but there was. On the play he was referring to, Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen completed a pass to Robby Parris, who had his helmet knocked off when Mays hit him from behind. Mays was called for a personal foul, which moved the ball from the USC 16 to the 8 with less than a minute left.

Yeah, and that penalty was deemed "questionable" by the Pac-10.

This guy is clown and he thinks he has few more important things to worry about...

Doh!

Boo fucking hoo. Maybe he should launch an investigation into why Notre Dame’s cleats weren’t working on the last 4 pass attempts as well.

I Hate Politicians

to think that the taxpayers are paying this ass monkey. Infuriating. Did you notice that he started out at SC Law, then transferred to GWU. Why a public servant is discussing a tackle in a college football game is beyond me.

Another Shizekoff politician i can't say how much I like to meet him face to face

Maybe he should be paying attention to the people in his district, small business and retirees. Thats his job at this juncture in the economic structure in todays world, but know he is pulling a nestor.

Player: coach Wooden how do ya bounce the ball

Wooden: ups and downs

Player: thanks you are a wizzs

I'm a Republican through and through, but. . . . .

. . . .that Dan Lungren? He’s a vile individual. I worked on his gubernatorial campaign a few years back. That guy’s Clinton with an elephant button. M-fer still hasn’t paid me for all that work. That’s right, I didn’t “volunteer” for his ass. I was supposed to GET PAID! Dammit! (what part of Republican confuses any y’all?)

“F” him. Cheap-ass Golum-lookin’ LOSER! What’s he doin’ watchin’ footbawll anyways? Ain’t he got some old people to kick outta Medi-care? Or some time to devise fiendish plots to line his pockets? (he ain’t no Republican! Jarvis/Gann LIVES!)
