I received this product within about 4 days after I ordered it. Very fast. It is a good product and I love how Acai makes me feel. I wouldn't hesitate to order from this company.

Frankly, I am the best candidate. I am Coach Robert Grant, the Head Coach of the PHS Junior Varsity Football Team. An alumni of PHS, I played in the era when we were successful on and off the field. Pasadena High School Football is missing the heart and soul of football that I enjoyed when I graduated in 1980. I played major college football and semi-pro ball as a member of the Los Angeles Police Department. The discipline, integrity and espirt de corps developed over 20 years as a cop and a lifetime as an athlete is what PHS needs and deserves.

God Bless

Viking Supporter:

First off, Tip didn't quit for selfish reasons. If you don't know what was going on behind the scenes then you shouldn't come on here talking about stuff you don't know.

Secondly, Coach Parks isn't leaving. I don't know where your son heard that. If he plays football, then you must be one of the parents who never comes to the meetings we have.

Sstress:
If you don't like your son playing for Coach Parks, then you should have moved him before.

COACH PARKS at BLAIR would be a great fit. I have read the articles and spoken to some of the athletes over at BLAIR and the response has been great. Not a local guy a players coach with vision and direction.Willing to suffer loses to set a standard of good character,integrity and commitment to get his message across.Anyone who can get BLAIR KIDS to go to their own game during a down season, compete at a high level while the turkey tussle is playing is doing something right and the kids are responding!

stress,
i wish you would take your son out of BLAIR. PLEEAASSE Move your son EVEN IF TIP doesn't get the H.S. job. BLAIR needs that because, TIP could have sucked it up but, he QUIT on the kids like a spoiled brat after a winning season. How about winning consistanly before you start demanding. TIP abandoned the kids at BLAIR BECAUSE OF SELFISH REASONS. H.S., DO YOU REALLY WANT THAT? Stress leave even if TIP comes back to Blair a move, "that will take place after the holidays" !!! MY SON TOLD ME THAT PARKS IS OUT !!!!!

As for Mills' coaching abilities, I agree with you there, he rode the coat tails of two of the best players to come through pasadena in a long time, Ikner and Crockom. But take away that talent and mills was reduced to nothing.

I would never bite on that top statement, you nice youg lady....

Another question I have for you “Sweetie” is why would they remove him from football and not his teaching position? If he did all this stuff you witness? Football means nothing in the grand scheme of life!

The people who are going for the coaching job are a good bunch and should bring a lot to the table in restoring our once proud program at Pasadena High!

I hope this would be the last time I have to talk about race, but I’m a straight shooter; however I do see how things work in news papers, TV and other media outlets. What I should have pointed out was how the “Temple City Police Department” has handled the Backaus situation versus the “Pasadena Police Department” handle Mr. Mills situation. “RUSH TO JUDGMENT” is all I was pointing out! I don’t want to hear about these “OBAMA” references and “CHANGE” cause, aint a damn thang change! I know you people read and watch TV, so close your eyes and get hit in the head to hope you wake up! My eyes is wide open and I see the haters in the news and all the stickers on these cars! Fool me? NOT! I'm not going to bring it up again.....

That school is a train wreck. I pity the fool that takes that job.

Someone who knows and HS sports fan you guys hit the nail right on the head. However it is easy to get caught up in the rant we had yesterday when mentioning the past of the PUSD and the PSN, I know them for their works. That being said HS sports fan your right lets use race as a motivating factor and get the best person for the job. Would a Pasadena guy be ideal? Yes, but if they are not the best fit get someone who loves the game and the kids whatever race or nationality and let’s support the best person for the job.

Someone who knows, you must be close to the PUSD because you understand the dysfunction. We have people making decision who have no idea how a good sports program is run. They are ruining these programs because of personal vendetta’s and selfish pride. These ignorant administrators are trying to put square pegs in round holes. Why are there people on hiring panels who don’t know the sport their hiring for? I understand the principal has the last word but why not utilize our resources and get knowledgeable people to consult with or be on the hiring panel. Knowledgeable alumni, parents and people in the community who know what it takes for a student athlete to be successful. Then hold the PUSD to a standard that says our student deserve the best and that does not mean your friend or your friend’s friend who needs a job or the cheapest way out. Bottom line is if we demand the best from PUSD and stop accepting anything they throw at us all the schools can be at least competitive. The only way to get rid of the dysfunction is as a group hold the PUSD to a higher standard and stop going for the old oaky doke. After that we can talk head to one another cheer for our team and let the chips fall where they may.

Pride...

All I can say is LMAO!!! Tuck wouldn't be able to think straight if he had both programs to handle.

As far as a new PHS football coach...I wouldn't be surprised if Tip left Blair for that position. Not saying he is, just saying I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

I agree with the last several comments about getting coaches in the Pasadena schools that will establish a "Tradition". The kids deserve the best we can offer. A winnning sports program in the Pasadena schools will do more than the police to curb gangs and drugs.

Miguel it might make an excellent story to find out wht there is a coaching carousel in Pasadena Public High Schools. Thge Pasadena Private schools are churning out winning programs with half the talent base at PHS and Muir.

Also, let's not use race as a crutch but a motivating factor to improve the situation. Obama as president-elect has shown us all that anything is possible. Let's vote for "Change" in Pasadena schools too! Just my two cents!

PUSD is completely dysfunctional. Muir should be competing for CIF titles almost every season with the talent they have had and PHS should be right behind.

Take a look at Marshall and Blair as well and why Pasadenans keep sending their kids to private and perochial schools whenver possible.

Thier secondary schools have had, for the most part, bad and/or naive administration in regards to how secondary schools need to have extracurricular and cocurricular activites need to be supported.

The district and their schools have succumbed to political correctness in many of their hiring in the last decade or so in many sports.

I understand Kieth Jones interviewed for the Muir job in the past, but they were not interested in Coach Jones's services and how a competent coach like Tip Sanders, who has had a good record at making Marshall and Blair into competitive programs during his tenure, is not a HC at this time.

Also the Eric Johnson situation was handled poorly and the PUSD lost a competent coach who made the Blair baseball team competitive before he coached the football team at Muir to its last glory days.

As long as the PUSD has too many elementary and middle school based people in its overall administration and moving these people into the HS administrations, the athletic, drama, music and other departments will suffer in their high schools; which hurts in the classroom as well.

PUSD needs to do some serious housecleaning in much of its district and secondary administrations and the parents of those students need to speak out. The underperforming of the athletic programs is a symptom of the massive dysfunction of the district.

The hiring process (whatever committee is involved) should endure as much scrutiny as the coach receives once the season is in full swing. Fortunately, the timing of Coach Mills' resignation provides enough time for the district to get it right. Why didn't PHS select Coach Tip Sanders four years ago? Not a teacher with a college degree? Muir seems to be doing well. I'm sure somebody with Coach Garrison's qualifications may not even be truly considered because he is a not a "Pasadena Guy." Again, probably time to reconsider the tired criteria. Be willing to consider somebody based on track record rather than rhetoric and whatever may feel good at the time.

PHS should be a football powerhouse.
In my opinion, it is a top-down collapse of direction and priorities that got them where they now stand.

My parking tickets in Pasadena - could sod and fertlize the PHS field for 2 years straight. Their is money...and Dena always has talent, border to border.
The problems were at one time, simple, but seem to be complicated by too many hands, too many overseer's, short coaching tenure and athletic programs that cannot establish continuity long enough to build from within.
It is going to take some vision, some clout and some determination to get PHS football back where it could and should be. Laying blame at one man's doorstep is a symptom of the frustration that losing and mediocrity bring.

Hey NoOneCantMakeMeDoAnythingIDontWannaDo
Are you telling me that not even your boss, The principal of your place of employment can fire you, or make you resign if he wanted to!! You must be the man!!! I think Dr. Evans told Kevin Mills this, "look man you have caused me so much bad publicity these last couple of years, especially with this last incident, everyone saying you kicked a player and all (errrrr allegedly) that either you resign or I will have to fire you"!!!
Why else would Mills resign so abrubtly, he knew the heat was coming around the corner. And whats funny is that I heard through the grapevine that mills called the starnews first, before the AD or princinpal could do it. Of coures this would make sense so that he can get his story out first, remember the first story printed is usually the one people believe.

As for Mills' coaching abilities, I agree with you there, he rode the coat tails of two of the best players to come through pasadena in a long time, Ikner and Crockom. But take away that talent and mills was reduced to nothing.

as for that incident at Blair when he was the coach, I have heard Mills personally brag about how he almost caused a riot, and how, "aint no referee gonna tell me what to do" thats probably why PHS always got hosed by the officials.

Well lets stop giving Mills so much pub, lets focus on getting a new coach in there to bring some dignity, integrity, and for christ sake, someone who isnt going to kick players in the chest karate style.

I say lets leave that beat up old dawg "A.K.A Agent 0" lay. He did nothing good for the program besides ride the coat tails of two great players last year. If you look back at his record can anyone tell me if he a credible win in his tenure that P.H.S...I don't think so. And as for him saying that he left the Bulldog program with a winning tradition...hhmm 1-9 doesn't sound like a winning tradition...So, lets take that next step and find someone who has Integrity,Leadersip, AND A WINNING TRADITION to their name. Lets stay away from the likes of, Agent 0, Don King, The General...all of which are Mills alias's..

Food for thought: I wonder what coach in his right mind would even apply for the job at PHS after reading this blog.

Some like to toss accusations of racism around without facts to support such claims other than some conspiracy theory based on conjecture. It is often done to enflame a situation based on a lack of facts.

The sad thing is, when there are true cases of racism, they are met with skepticism due to someone having “cried wolf” in the past.

If you are a fan of PHS and continue to post accusations about the program, I can pretty much guarantee you are hurting any chance of getting a solid replacement to coach. I guess some are happy with the Stangs holding the bell. :)

Guys,

Get a clue! This issue was brought up by Huckster, not Miguel. Give it a rest.

This section is about new head coaching replacements for PHS. Nothing more.

haha maybe tim tucker should be both bball and football coach at HS

FredJ

As I said earlier I gave Miguel the benefit of the doubt when this first came out. What I had an issue with was re-hashing old info that everyone had known about and moved on from. If it had something to do with what happend this year than report it. I have NO problem with that, but recycling news that the high school and the school board ruled on made no sense to me.
I've seen worse things reported on in this area when it applied to coaches. The difference was the things reported were current. Abusing children is something I find deplorable and if he did that resigning is only the begining of his problems. I don't think you personally would have gone so far back to report incidents, apparently from these latest allegations there was more current info to work with. I don't want to see Backus or Mills put through this. I'm asking that the person who reports this stuff act with a little decency.

Fred J,

Remember when "white person" Phillip Sutliff arcadia JV soccer coach who was dating a student for two years was arrested. PSN had his face all over the front page many times.

It's been equal treat all around. I am sick of this racial stuff that always comes up. Its just people who have nothing better to do but fish for arguements and want people to feel sorry for them as a result. GROW UP and smell the coffee. Enough with this junior high petty play. If you want to make difference read the LA times crime blog. Young Black men are killing young black men every day on our streets of LA. It's disgusting. Get upset about that and make a difference. Put your enegry towards something good!

I wonder if two things will ever happen in my lifetime:

1. A blog about football whether high school/college or pro can ever be discussed without race being an issue or brought up.

2. If the racial tensions that always seem to be underlying on this blog will ever be resolved.

Well said Fred. Now back to Race. The playoff race!

Let me quickly address this Huckster and Westside folks. The difference with Mills is that a police report was filed and frankly, people at PHS spoke on the record, so we had much more information to work with. In the Youngblood situation, again, he was arrested on campus (later dropped), and we had a police report to work it. Was it any different than how we covered Mike Parisi, a white baseball coach at Arcadia when he was terminated after being arrested, though later cleared as well. We splashed his story on the front page too. In the Backus situation, all we know is there is a school investigation. As far as we know, a police report has not been filed and Backus has not been arrested. Everything is internal within the school and they're keeping quiet. I can assure you if the circumstances were the same and the information available to us was the same, the stories would be treated equally in respect to which page we put it on. Hope that helps.

Miguel,
My point is if you look back at how PSN threw Youngblood under the bus last year for a situation they did not know much about was classic media. Weather sticking to the topic or not the way bloggers have been able to bash Mills on the threads you posted is also classic. Everyone has an opinion and a blog is a good place to voice it, I fault no one for their opinion. But the question remains why does Backus get a pass? A coach who might not be able to coach his team in the playoffs and there is no thread? The silence is deafening.

The coaching job at PHS will workout, it's early yet.

Miguel,

Implying that minorities are incapable of being racist is ridiculous.

Whatever Miguel, but its easy you're a newspaper guy check it out. What's wrong with a student? If you know the real story about Mills you know students who were there during the kicking incident had an influence on his resignation. It’s not about race its about what’s right. Again whatever, grand poohbha of the blog.

I'mjustsaying:

ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THIS??????

"My source is a student that attends La Salle who supposedly was there ... "

You might as well have said, "I heard through my mom whose hair dresser is the mailman's brother's cousin who overheard ... "

THIS BLOG IS ABOUT PASADENA'S NEW COACH. I will by under no circumstance let "race" be a topic of discussion. If you haven't noticed I'm a minority, too.

when are we going to have a blog about star news players of the year?

Its funny how when mills gets in to a situation reporters open a new thread just for mills allowing comment. But recently backus gets into something miguelprotects him and doesn't even allow bloggers to voice their opinnion! I know that someone in the tc family would of blogged about backus and give psn the run down! Its just said how reporters decide on who to praise and who to drag in the mud.
I think if your going to be a reporter who is airing dirty laundry do it on everybody. Because psn continues to bring down pusd story by story!!!!

This will be my last statement on this subject. No other player, coach, or team has gotten more written this year than Mills. I too am guilty of that. However when someone walks away for whatever THEIR reason is we should RESPECT that and not use that as another opportunity to insult, slander, or defame someones character.

The reporter on this blog should be a little more responsible in his handling of situations like this. People do have the RIGHT to move on with their lives and Mills should be allowed to do the same.

To: Someone who knows, Mills is passionate which sometimes causes him to overreact to situations but deep down is a caring person. This is a good move for Mills and will allow an increased maturity. He will resurface as a much better coach and leader for yooung men in Pasadena.

When Coach Mills was at Blair, there was a postgame incident involving the officials in the tunnel that Mills incited. It caused the officials to enter and exit a different way to and from the filed to the locker room.

Mills was hired over the objections of the previous PHS Athletic Director, following that incident at Blair.

MADD DOGG

I agree. With Mills resignation inked, detailing supposed "incidents" from two years back bring zero value to the story or provide the man a deserved degree of respect in stepping down.
In my opinion the Backus "breaking news" put gas on the fire rather than clearing the air with any fact. The supposed "breaking news" was already 8 days old in the TC camp.
PSN will be hard pressed to develop any trust or relationships with local coaching staffs if it elects itself the 60 Minutes Investigative Team rather than the local source for prep sports reporting.

Other papers with closer ties to TC simply stated Backus was on leave, rather than tarnish or convict the man BEFORE even a cursory hearing takes place on his behalf.

I don't pretend to know much about the coaching skills or possible faults Coach Mills has. By living in Pasadena 18 years though, I do know that the woes of the PHS football program will not return to glory simply by him exiting and a new face stepping in. Best of luck to Coach Mills.

There is a lot of talk about incidents involving Mills. Unless you have first hand knowledge of the incident(s) and understand due process, then to mention is slanderous. Above all Mills is a teacher in the PUSD and any infraction would be dealt with not only at the school but by the school board as well. Mills is young, passionate and bright. As mentioned before won/loss record is only part of the equation. Helping young boys grow into men just as important and Mills gives of himself.

As far as a coach is concerned, it is always preferable to have an campus teacher in that capacity. Given that as a parameter Garrison would be a good choice. He is a good man and has excellent football knowledge.

If Mills was American/American instead of African/American he might have been treated better!!LOL

MADD DOGG,

Thank you! I know I can say some bullcrap on this blog sometimes, but when I heard some inside on the “Backus” situation I couldn’t sleep! I had to get on here and ask Miguel what’s going on?

JFMatador,

Now that had me “LMAO”!

Huckster

Isn't it funny when you mention Backus people now want to mention kicking and shoving with Kevin. And they say this happend almost 2 months. Don't you think that's a little late to be bringing that up? Sounds like a smoke screen to me. Kevin deserves the same due process in the paper as his colleagues. Especially since he resigned!
He may be a terrible coach but leave it at that.

Huckster!!!!!
what I'm trying to say is black people in L.A are more dangerous and rebellious than black people in this area. I'm just saying because I think white women won't tighten their grip on their purses when they see a black male in Pasadena passing by in the street. Just speculating haha don't know if it's true....I'm bored lol

I will say this I read the report of Mills resignation and the most startling thing for me was the fact that Miguel put in there the incidents that were almost 2yrs old. I understand that based on the complaints he had this year was enough to call for some review of his role with the team, but to bring up that incident was uncalled for. I didn't respond to it trying to give Miguel the benefit of the doubt, until the Backus report.
Miguel I'm not going to call you racist but after the decent interview he gave you after a crushing defeat I feel you could have given the man more respect then that. Your going to learn in this area be very careful what you report because some things are racially sensitve.

JFMatador,
P
lease explain it again, because I didn’t get it! Thanks…

Justafacade,

I’m going to say this to you, but I happen to have some real inside with some of the administrators too and that was not the reason Kevin resigned. You read what he told Miguel, “Nobody can make me do anything I don’t want to do, I was not asked to resign”! Believe me, if they tried to use something on him to get rid of him the man would have fought them to the end of the earth! I know my brother better than you know the administration! Now, you may have heard them whispering some things behind his back, but trust that nothing was being waved over his head! That’s a guarantee! He’s way to stubborn to bow down!

I'd say black people are discriminated in certain areas like Compton or those other ghetto L.A places. But if you see a black folk in these neighborhoods like Alhambra, Rosemead, San Marino, temple city they aren't looked that way because they won't rebel *I think* like the black folks in L.A.

Huckster

You can believe what you want. Like I said I was there and have inside knowledge on the ins and outs of the administration at PHS. Take that how want to take it. Mills resigned in lieu of being fired. I know this for a fact. Its your problem if you dont believe me.

Justafacade,

Kentera wasn’t the one blogging to you it was me (HUCKSTER)! I really think you should change your name to “JUSTFRABACATING”! I really don’t believe you when you say, you were at all these events and know one would listen to you! I think you have a problem with his “COCKINESS” plus you’re kind of scared of him too, but hey! Why don’t you get your husband to slap him?! The man resigned, because he was out of his league! Period!

Kentera,

I was present on september 8th 2008 at 5:30pm on the practice field, when Kevin Mills kicked his starting quarterback in the chest for throwing an interception during practice. I witnessed and reported, several of the players witnessed it too. An investigation was conducted by the administration and the police but it was swept under the rug. Why do you think he resigned so abrubtly. I know Kevin and he is so cocky that a 1-9 season was not enough to make him quit on his own. Trust me I have inside knowledge on this situation. He was also accused of shoving a kid into a fence over the summer. I also was witness to this.

Mike Maggiore from West Covina High School.

Big A,

No one ever knew what was going on in the Mills situation either, because it was Mills, my son and the Muir student in the weight room. People assumed something happen and nothing did, based on the young men statements. I just felt like Kevin’s situation should have been handled like Backus situation. I just wish people had the same “WAIT AND SEE” mentality when it comes to African American defendants!

Huckster,

Haha. I'm glad you respect my opinions and thoughts. I agree that if the rumor is that he fought a student, he should be on the front page.

I think the biggest problem is that there just isn't enough information at this point to make any rash decisions. The problem with Mills situation was that it got out very quickly.

We need to dig deeper and find out what is really going on.

I will apply for the varsity O-line coach with any head coach.

DAWWGER

Big A,

I was pointing some things out to you, because I respect your thoughts and opinions, but I too happen to know Kevin is a respectable man. Whether, Kevin had more than one alleged incident is not the point! The point is how the stories are and were being covered by the “STAR NEWS/TRIBUNE”! Oh, for the record “THE MAN COULD NEVER HOLD ME DOWN, BECAUSE I’M MORE LIKE THE SPOOK WHO SAT BY THE DOOR”!

Kentera,

I’m sorry, but I have no clue on what you’re talking about, unless your saying “Obama” is not African American? I would agree, because the man is half Caucasian and half African American. What ever!

Justafacade,

Kevin is a supreme organizer, who knows how to get things done! I’ve been all on his coaching for years, because it was warranted! The fact is, no one at PHS could be a better Athletics Director than Kevin Mills! Tony Brooks is the current AD and there is no varsity soccer coach, no varsity volleyball coach and no varsity track coach for boys and girls! I don’t think they’ve had a track coach for some years now, but I could be wrong. I doubt it though! If Kevin kicked a kid and you know this for sure and I'm assuming your an adult? WHY IN THE HELL DIDN’T YOU OR ANYONE CALL THE POLICE! I’ll tell you why, it didn’t happen! Your such a “LOSER”!

Huckster,

The man ain't holdin' you down no'more.

If what you say is allegedly true than by all means Backus should be ripped to shreds. But I have not heard a single rumor about him fighting a student. I actually haven't heard much at all.

I know him personally and find him to be a very respectable man so I'm not going to jump to conclusions. I'll conclude when we hear the truth.

Mills had more than just one incident that was very "interesting."

I with you Huck, this is why we will never have a black president.

Kevin Mills Kicked a player during practice in the chest. and nothing was done. How's that for a cover up?

Are you kidding me huckster, mills as a.d. at PHS. That man has no integrity.

I'm also confused by the minimal coverage about the Coach Backus situation. I hate to think race factors in the decision of not reporting more on the situation, but there does seem to be a different set of standards here.

Ok! I got some things that have been bothering me like, this “Backus” situation. Here this man has allegedly; fought one of the students on campus and it was on the 3rd page of the papers! Now, let’s think about this, “Teacher fights student on campus”? He was never arrested and hasn’t been charged with anything, due to investigation. The school district has put him on administrative leave, ok that’s cool.

What I want to know is why isn’t this front page news with this man’s picture on the front page of the “STAR NEWS/TRIBUNE”? I’ll tell you why, because he is a “WHITE MAN” that is about to be treated fairly and with respect in our judicial system! I don’t see anyone on here blogging about that situation! All of us “African-Americans” should be up in arms on this situation!

When it was Kevin, everyone was ready to pile on him and was in a long line to bash his character! He was basically convicted in the “PUBLIC EYE” but you nice “self righteous” people will play the wait and see game on “Backus”….. I truly understand the game you people play.

Miguel Melendez & Fred Robledo,

why don’t you start up a blog conversation on how this man (Backus) is being treated versus the way Kevin was being treated on his situation by your news paper. My question to you is the “STAR NEWS” a bunch of racist reporters ready to assassinate any and every “AFRICAN AMERICANS” character?

Big A,

This is why I think and feel the way I do, because someone will come on here and try and justify the “Star News” with an intelligent response. This same attitude spills out on the field when those refs are calling games! Whether it be football, basketball, soccer or baseball they’re pro’s at doing it and I’m a pro at spotting it!

go with coach cup

I say go with Randy Horton PHS D-Coordinator 1st, Wardell Crutchfield Duarte’s coach 2nd, Tom Maher 3rd and Keith Jones of San Gabriel 4th! Tip might be a good choice, but I think when Kevin takes the AD job at PHS some time in the near future, that situation wouldn’t be good for Tip.

I say coach TIP and then I would move so that my son can play for him!

Maher would be a bad choice, the reason he is no longer coach at PCC is because of scandal and doing a whole lot of shady things
