But the potential is there.

I agree but Riggins was a a big ole power runner and he was a little bit crazy.

David Shaw LOVED him--so does Solomon Thomas.  He is special--like Cam, like Luke.  We seem to have a high-character thing going.  Smart people learn fast because they think fast and the reason they play fast. 

Obi will be the same way (cryptic look into the future).

I don't know if Riggo was crazy, but I'm pretty sure he was often drunk.  :P

Holeeeeeeeeeeeee sheeeeeeeeet that dude didn't make one misstep in that first press conference.

Except for maybe the Huckleberry Finn thing (which I had no problem with, but someone with an agenda might).

Huck Finn in 6th grade--not an easy book for an average 6th grade student.

They actually used to go to an equipment shed and drink beer before and after practice in those days, so yeah, lol. He was still a hell of a player though.

I read it around then. You can't necessarily understand all of the themes of the book...but this isn't a book club.

I know it is read in middle school because some teachers think it is a book about about a country boy and a river raft adventure.  They also teach Animal Farm without realizing it is satirizing the Bolshevik Revolution that led to the adaptation of Marxism and Stalin's rise to power in 1917--they think it is about talking animals.  To "read" a book you have to understand its themes, which is what I (obviously) meant.  If the first round pick is asked about books during his first press conference,  and he refers to one book, it is indeed not a book club, but perhaps a question to gauge his ability to learn a playbook and how quickly he can grasp the system.   That was the "theme" to the question and why it was asked.  Not a good question, but it did dispel the myth that he is a literary scholar.
