RANT

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. That's the old saying anyway. I think a more up to date version of that would be, if one has a questionable history of lying and deceit and continues to find himself in situations where he is accused of lying and deceit, he's a liar.
The on-going saga of Lane Kiffin marches on. I'm not gonna waste time writing about his history of questionable decision making, nor do I find it important to rationalize his ego-driven quest for personal success. I will say this, I was told, as a young boy, to always listen and learn from my elders. They may not sound like they know what's goin' on, but in truth it's their experience that carries the most weight. That brings me to Al Davis. Yea, the 80 year old head-mofo of the Oakland Raiders with the questionable decision making, ego-driven quest for personal success. You see where I'm goin' with this? Al called Lane a liar a long time ago and most of us looked at his comment as just the ranting 0f an old unhappy man. We were wrong. We failed to remember the important part of the previous lesson, experience. I'll bet money, Al's laughing his ass off dancing around his office singing, "Sticks and stones will break my bones, but it takes one to know one."
Anyway, just when you think USC has moved forward and out of the spot-light of scrutiny, the duck quacks. The latest little sneaky has Lane snatchin' up an assistant coach from the Tennessee Titans. You can pick up any newspaper and get all the details if you want. From what I've read, it all sounds like a playground fight. I really doubt anything will come of it, but once again it shows, Lane plays by his own rules. (Note to Mr. Haden: When a horse trainer has a unruly colt that refuses to learn he has a few choices to bring them in line. One is to sell him and the other is to geld him. I suggest both.)
