About

I go to Nicholls State University in Thibodaux, La., where I study Mass Communication in print and public relations. I'm the sports editor of our school newspaper, The Nicholls Worth, and I work at the Concordia Sentinel in Ferriday, La. during the summer. I write for Hurtsbad and I write for The MMA Corner, while writing a weekly MMA column entitled "That MMA Guy." You can check out my writings here:

    Peyton Manning ???

    Come to think of it . . . he does look pretty dopey wearing those little beanie caps on top of that massive forehead of his.

    And . . . as others have said . . . they find it hard not to be looking for the bolts coming out of his neck.

    What wrong ???

    Surely you must think that photos like that of your favorite athlete are equally funny and just as embarrassing.

    You have a lot to learn.

    You are not the little know it all that you think.

    Making fun of other people . . . and declaring anything to be the most embarrassing . . . is immature.

    Now . . . stick with your own favorites . . . and try your best to embarrass the hell out of all of them.

    See ???

    All of a sudden . . . it does not seem like such a good idea to do something at the expense of others.

    Thanks for the read Jake. What the latest on punishment for Saints?

    This story has gathered way to much attention.

    I would agree with the others that it's David. Adam has had his issues with Tad at times, but he also has respect for him and for his relationship with JR. David just flat out hates the Martins.

    Jake, after reading your article on nightlife in NFL cities it is pretty clear that you have had limited exposure to nightlife anywhere...

    Jake you should do a piece called "20 reasons why Les Miles should ban his players from Twitter in 2012" . Post a bunch of the nasty tweets the numerous Lsu players that are on Twitter have gotten because of the random haters that post them or how a few of the players seem so arrogant on their own posts.

    Your columns are read by so many it might make for a good one and who knows maybe you could credit yourself for influencing Miles if he actually did it
