According to ESPN.com's Joe Schad, Oregan RB LaGarrette Blount could be reinstated later this season if he continues to follow a plan set after the Boise State game.  If your not familiar with Mr. Blount, allow me to give you a brief refresh.  Oregon vs. Boise State a few weeks back when the Broncos won the game, Mr. Blount didn't like it very much and decided to take a cheap shot punch at Bronco Defensive End Byron Hout when he wasn't looking.  After doing that, he decided to take his fury out on his teammates and of course the ever so popular the fans.  Oregon decided to suspend Blount and Head Coach Chip Kelly saying that reinstatement was not a option.  For once, I was actually proud of a team, college, etc for stepping in and deciding that this kind of behavior is unacceptable.  Period!  Until now.  Blount has been attending classes and practicing with the scout team.  Also, he has met and impressed some people such as Tony Dungy, Jon Gruden, Kermit Washington and Prof. Harry Edwards from Emeritus at Cal-Berkeley.  Edwards is a noted sociologist and scholar.  I don't know about you, but if a player on my football team throws a cheap shot at another player, whether before, during or afterwards, I would suspended him for the season.  That kind of action should be zero tolerence.  I believe everyone deserves a second chance and he would get his, Next Season!  What do you think about a possible reinstatement for this sore loser?
Much Luck, 
Joe
