San Francisco 49ers Draft Marcus Lattimore

The San Francisco 49ers got a steal in the fourth round of the NFL Draft as they selected Marcus Lattimore with the 131st pick. What a journey for Lattimore as the day he got drafted was six months to the day of his second knee injury. Irony yet don't tell Lattimore that as he will […]

Thank You Clemson for the Vandalism

Thanks Clemson for the recent rash of vandalism both at USC and in a hotel room by your beloved DeAndre Hopkins.  It appears Mr. Hopkins does not understand how to act in a hotel room.
