VOLS LOSE STARTING SAFETY TO PULLED CEREBRUM
Demetrice Morley, starting safety for the Tennessee Volunteers, will not return to the uni this spring, according to the Tennessean. The cause? A common injury among student-athletes: a pulled cerebrum, or in other words, being unable to keep his GPA above a 2.0.
The Fanhouse has this great spooky pic of Morley, half in shadow, half in light (it’s like he knew he was doomed!) Rocky Top Talk says Morley has no excuses, and is right. If you fail out of the University of Tennessee on a football scholarship, it’s like blowing your share of a Rothschilds’ inheritance. You’re just not to be trusted again, even with something where your margins of error are impossibly huge.
If Jamal Lewis can maintain academic eligibility at an institution and you can’t, it’s time to pursue another line of work.
Morley: sprained his cerebrum.

I want to high school with this kid. The real one, Killian, not the fake one from the NYT story. And i can tell you w/ 100% certainty that he never went to class at Killian either. If you went to Killian, and you were a good football player, all you had to do was show up to school and then you spent the rest of the day in the weight room with the football coach. This also happened with another one of our “star players” Bobby Washington, who later got caught cheating on the SAT. Gotta love the Miami-Dade Public School System.

I think they should give out degrees based on other, less-recognized-but-no-less-worthy skillz like fightin’ ‘n de club. Forget PhDs and all that fancy-shmancy larnin’ — this would look much better:

That kid is an embarrassment to all of us proudly hanging our GEDs on the wall.
