LaGarrett Blount

I am also an avid Univeristy of Oregon Duck fan. This means I've been dealing with the aftermath of "The Punch" heard and seen around the world. At the time I was watching the game with my roommates and their friends who are mostly Beavers. I pretty much was like great. Where was that passion during the game?

I woke up the next day not being able to get away from it. Everyone was talking about it. At work. On the radio. It was on CNN on my phone.

At the time I thought that the 1 year suspension was a bit harsh but warranted.

Now Blount has been re-instated. This has left me torn. I have felt like in his absence, LaMichael James and his back up Barner have stepped up and have flourished in the opporunity. I feel like why would you want to mess with an offense that has been clicking on all cylinders?

But then again, I listen to the people calling in on the radio who think he should have been basically banished to Siberia without a jacket and vodka. These are the same people that think Michael Vick should have been in prison for 30 years.

My opinion is people deserve second chances if they complete their appointed punishment. If you commit a crime and do the time...you should have an opportunity to move on. This doesn't mean that the seas should part, but it does mean that you should have a chance to earn a life.

My problem is not that Blount is coming back. My problem is that Chip went back on his original punishment.

What exactly is this world of sports justice that we have created? Why is it so different from the real world?
