I think you're overstating things quite a bit. Guys as big fast and athletic as LB are not commonplace and the NFL is filled with guys who've fucked up one way or another. While he definitely cost himself some serious upfront/signing bonus dollars, I'll be surprised if he isn't drafted and expect to see him on someone's roster next season. STOMP
I'd bet they lift the suspension 4-5 games from now because the powers that be claim his conduct since the incident has been exemplary, but we'll all really know that they just want their running back playing for the squad again.
LaMichael James. He is solid, but only a redshirt freshman. He had some of our better runs against Boise State. Remains to be seen how he'll do as the featured back. I liked his potential a lot more when he was the speedy back that would complement the bruising style of Blount. Just a chick from a Cubs game holding an Old Style. Doesn't get any better than that. Agreed. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get back to Wrigley this year. I went to Denver in August to catch them in the series against the Rockies at Coors, but haven't made it back to Chicago this year. It's been a bad year to be a Cubs fan, though. [insert "aren't they all bad years?" joke here] Injuries, key acquisitions not coming through, Cardinals running away with division. Ugh. There's always next year.
