BEN MOFFITT GETS A IN DIVISION OF LABOR
Your theme for the post:
One of the things you never see as a threat to your football program is divorce. But Tampa just brings the funk like that, as Ben Moffitt and wife are proving in their increasingly acrimonious divorce settlement.
TAMPA, AMERICA’S NEXT GREAT CITY SINCE 1979 - Shauna Moffitt, the wife of University of South Florida senior linebacker Ben Moffitt, said she wrote nearly every paper for him during his five years at USF and also completed two online courses for him.
“Ben Moffitt has never written a paper,” Shauna said. “Never. Ever. I love him, but he doesn’t know how to spell. He cheats.”
If you say that someone can’t spell in public, we’d argue that you probably don’t actually love him, but whatever–it’s divorce, let bullets fly and the grenades tumble. Most guys would prefer this to the usual gay/small penis/serial abuser accusations that surface after divorces, save for one detail: it could get an NCAA investigation working at USF.
The chances of the investigation actually digging up anything incriminating are tiny: if Moffitt was really getting papers written for him by his wife and her twin sister (yes, let your mind go there, now come on back) as alleged in the article, it proves that Moffitt is a cheater, but doesn’t come anywhere close to proving USF had anything to do with it. Whoever actually wrote the papers, the story does have some import for two people: Moffitt, portrayed as someone who’s deserted his family for the past two months, and Nick Saban, who earned tongue daggers from Leavitt after Saban suggested USF’s roster was full of guys “who probably could have gone to Florida or Florida State but Florida and Florida State couldn’t take them.”
As suggested in the title of the post: Moffitt may not be able to spell, but he clearly has a deep understanding of the economic concept of division of labor. (HT: ZZGator)

The wife needs some consideration. She worked while this loser went to school, played football and basically had his needs met. I bet she is the source of the car payments, as well. She also had his two kids. Any of you boys had children? What does it take you…oh, thirty seconds or less for that small amount of semen to do the deed. A woman spends the next nine months with morning sickness, back pain, weight gain, can’t see our feet, etc. You boys, well…nothing. Then comes the HOURS of labor. You boys…sitting there telling us to breathe. Please. This woman should take this creep to the cleaners. He decided that he just doesn’t want to be married anymore and he wants to trade up.
Have you seen him? He isn’t exactly a prize. Although, I assume he will appear much better looking with a nice NFL contract.

>Or the part where they cannot write cat if you spotted them the C and T (thank you Ol’ Ball Coach)?
Wasn’t this actually a Thomas “Hollywood” Henderson quote about Terry Bradshaw?

@10 - You mean the part where the Bulls are taking various chemicals? Or the part where they cannot write cat if you spotted them the C and T (thank you Ol’ Ball Coach)? The NFL only cares if you can run, hit, and block. Not necessarily in that order.
@20 - By revealing that she wrote all his papers she established that she helped him retain his eligibility. Without her assistance, Moffitt is bounced from USF after his first semester. Instead, he stayed at USF and improved his future income (i.e., NFL payday). Thus, she contributes to his future earnings and is entitled to a portion of his income.
Given the number of law students who troll read this web site, I am surprised no one has discussed this issue.
Put another way, let’s say you rake in big sales year after year. You accomplish this feat in part because your significant other provided a hummer every night so you could relax and remain focused on the big picture.
Thanks to your riches, 18 year old skanksvirgin Catholic school girls find you attractive. You dumpupgrade from said provider of hummers for a Tri-Delt with 34DD.
The now former provider of those hummers is entitled to any future income that those old sales contract generate. And, if I am not mistaken, you will have to prove that any new sales contracts were not the direct result of those old sales contracts that you landed while receiving hummers from the former provider.
Moral of the story: Keep the Tri-Delt with 34DD on the sly. Or convince your significant other that three is better than two.
