One Question Down

We couldn't resist answering a Weekend Forum question right now, which asked why the team will not stay in Cardinal Gardens for training camp beginning this season? This is obviously in reaction to a similarly worded item that the World Champion paper in town wrote on Friday.
Only one problem: USC players have not stayed in Cardinal Gardens for training camp since 2004. Doh!
Maybe we've finally found a good reason for the Open Forum. To set things straight for others, including papers.

Now, if you want to know why the change was made, it was a reaction to the problems that arose, such as the Hershel Dennis incident, because the players are confined to a dorm instead of sprawling apartments.
Of course, in 2005, it didn't stop Matt Leinart from being a ringleader for a group of players who stormed Mark Sanchez's dorm and shaved his head. That drew a stern lecture from Pete Carroll who reminded the Trojans that hazing is not allowed.

Will the majority of players live in Cardinal Gardens for the upcoming citizen?

You know what Scott? With this latest unwarranted jab at Matt I've finally been converted. I take back everything I've said in defense of Matt. Your evidence is too overwhelming to ignore any longer.

Here I was this whole time thinking he was just a young, immature college kid, enjoying the opportunity of a lifetime and having some fun with it. I sit here both humbled and corrected.

Matt Leinart is a douche. (Man, that feels good - I just want to shout it from the rooftops)

I just wish the proper authorities would wake up and get involved before he ruins any more lives. Recklessly shaving heads, hanging with Paris Hilton and Nick Lachey, hundreds of illegitimate children with his many, many girlfriends. Where does it all end?

All that's left now is for him to brutally murder someone. Maybe then we'll at sit up and take notice.

Bravo Scott!! Bravo!!
