Did he get that though? What about Jerrae?

I mean, I get what you’re saying. Call me too punk rock…I still feel you don’t sellout.

I saw Green Day in an Oakland garage around 1987 or ‘88. The co-owner of Lookout Records (Green Day’s future label at that point ) took us there…a guy that hated sellouts (his partner on the other hand was a weasel)…this guy said these guys were just looking to cash in. He was right, and they did just that…AND look at who Green DAY is now. Rich delusional asshole sellouts.

It’s like being a RAT Joe, and I know you hate a rat….i also know, deep down, you get what I’m saying.

I know this isn’t really the point of this post, but I’ve almost always been on the opposite end of this. This was my thought process when I was a punker kid in high school. Then I joined a band and realized that it’s not easy and rarely glamorous and you play your music day in and day out. Bands should do whatever they want to do. They have to live with it every day. If they hate their own music because they are selling out, they have the money but not the enjoyment. Or maybe they actually enjoy playing music deemed as “selling out”.

Maiava also gets to learn QB under a Coach who's had multiple guys drafted in first round and starting in the NFL. He knew he was going to be a backup for at least a year regardless of the 2 schools he was recruited to. If it doesn't pan out at USC, he's still going to be able to transfer to any school he wants

Jerrae Williams…BACKUP safety for Washington State….has zero stats this year, despite a lot snaps in the first two games. AND now out for the season with ANOTHER Injury. SMH

Jayden Maiava…BACKUP at USC, just made news for being the first Polynesian QB to take a snap at USC….however, it was just clean up duty in a 48-0 blowout…and to make matters worse, his teammates cheered him on like he was the Down Syndrome guy that got in the game and made a layup while the defense pretended to guard him.

Gotta think a few guys are realizing they effed by leaving.

Maiava is a sophomore backing up a senior. He is learning from the best QB developer in college football. He is one play away from being "the guy" there. He is also taking a big bag of cash.

Way too soon to say he isn't a pro. There have been back ups under Riley that had 1 or 2 years starting in college that were drafted and now starting in the NFL. Not saying he will get there or that he won't get recruited over, but it seems like a good decision to me.

Also look at what we did after Maiava left. Got 3 guys (Ochoa included) that were the exact opposite of him. Safe to say that Marion just didn't like that skill set as much. I'm not saying that the decision was mutual, and obviously we haven't passed the ball that great this season, but I think Marion is happy changing the offense overall with the new personnel.

As for Jerrae? Yeah, that kinda sucks. He was a bright spot for us when healthy, but he has been injured. We overhauled or defensive backfield and I don't know how much he would start this season if he stayed? Do you think he did a better job that Baldwin is now at that same nickel/LB hybrid position? Eh, I don't know. Baldwin seems a bit beefier and can stop the run better.

I know where you are at with that stuff, I’m the same way. Loyalty is a big deal to me.

It always will be. I’ll always be that way.

But most aren’t. It’s the way of the world, one of many wrong things.

My understanding is - he got at least 6x what he was getting here. At some point, business decisions have to be made. Especially when future money isn’t there.

Greenday is soft as baby sht.

Maiava's agent's son took the bag of cash at Florida State, too. Don't blame he or the family since, like you said, they aren't going pro in sports.

Three days after that kid with a bat to the head, word spread around the school that it was me who hit those 8th graders up..



Me and my best friend were gonna confront a kid who rolled with the Drifters and almost jumped me a year after it happened.

I was walking home and 2 cars and trucks rolled up with the “owner of Hussong’s Mexican Cantina” where the reunion was at, like 10 dudes. I was paranoid walking home from the bus that entire year. usually brought a can of mace spray but I didn’t this time..

“Hey are you kid that hit Philip Gagliardi in the head”??

I was shaking in my pants. My best friend noticed that Brian Mangino was driving his mini Toyota

“I said, “No it’s the other Filipino. I pointed towards Ronneil house”

They all got in their cars and they said “he lied to us. If it’s you lying we are gonna come back twice as hard”

They got in their cars and left and went back to to this other Filipino that lived in the neighborhood. (They hit him up first)

Me, my best friend and Horny Boy Steve ran all the way to my best friend’s house.

We can see from the kitchen window that they were driving up and down Deadwood Road looking for me.

Anyways..Brian was a dickhead..probably doesn’t remember hitting me up..

I didn’t mention it. He was cool as hell in 2024

Haha..there was a group of kids called “the shitheads, lil rascals (they wore redskins)

You must be younger than me. Remember the Filipino kid that was killed in the drive by at Bonanza? It was like 1989 (?). The guys that shot him were after a black guy… a crip that was right behind him, but the Filipino kid ended up collateral damage…. The police/feds closed down the school for a few days, and then the LA Pinoy Boys showed up one of those days and circled the school with 100+ low riders 🤣…a bunch of your brothers got arrested I heard. I was just glad that Morp got cancelled, because a girl I grew up with at my Mormon church asked me to go..and my girlfriend was pissed….but I was too close to the girl’s brothers to say no.

That Filipino’s sacrifice was much appreciated though…at least by me. RIP

I went to bonanza ‘92 I don’t recall the drifters, I rember the pinky boys that got shot and killed and some white/black wrestlers that were in a gang but don’t think it was drifters

I not only remember that wrestlers gang, my friends and I beat the hell out of the them…. It was something “boys”….damn, I can’t remember the name right now! Most were from Clark HS, but a few from Bonanza.

We were told about a party down by Clark and we were met at the door by these douches. We were like whatever and went to leave & these dudes started following us. As we were leaving one of these dbags broke a beer bottle and stabbed a friend of mine nearly cutting his ear off…we were all punks and skaters, but had them outnumbered nearly 2 to 1…we all jumped out of our cars and I’ve NEVER seen a worse beat down of a bunch of over arrogant a holes. My boy Karim took on three of them and KO’d all three. It was beautiful.
