Separating the good eggs from the bad

Happy Easter! As we celebrate the most important day of the Christian calendar, we also welcome the Easter Bunny and engage in the time-honored tradition of Easter egg hunts and as any good farmer can tell you, it’s also important to separate the good eggs from the bad.

And it’s good advice in the sports world too. So, let’s acknowledge some of the good and bad eggs from this past week.

Clint Chelf. The Oklahoma State quarterback and former Enid High School standout is in a spirited battle to become the successor to Brandon Weeden.Where to buy or purchase plasticmoulds for precast and wetcast concrete? The battle for the starting role for one of last season’s most prolific, and successful,Diagnosing and Preventing coldsores Fever in the body can often trigger the onset of a cold sore. offenses has attention squarely focused on Stillwater and Chelf in particular.

The junior signal-caller, despite being the only returning QB with game-experience,A culture af Mizukabi molds. albeit limited, is not being handed the position. The coaches also are looking at redshirt freshman J.W. Walsh and true freshman Wes Lunt during spring practice, but Chelf is maintaining a positive attitude.

“That’s why you come to a program like this,” Chelf said this past week in discussing his competiton for the QB spot.3rd minigame series of magiccube! “You know they are always going to bring someone in behind you that will be coming for your job. There’s definitely not any bad blood between us.”

It’s an incredibly mature and reasoned reaction that many pros would have a hard time exhibiting and shows Chelf, whether he earns the starting role or it falls to someone else, has the potential to be a leader on this year’s team.

Texas Rangers. Last season, in a terrible tragedy, Shannon Stone fell to his death trying to retrieve a souvenir baseball tossed to him by Josh Hamilton for his son Cooper. He fell 20 feet onto the concrete head first with his son watching.

The Rangers unveiled a life-size bronze statue Thursday depicting Stone and his son Cooper wearing baseball caps, holding hands and looking at each as if engaged in conversation. A very touching tribute, made even more touching when the statue was unveiled with the help of 7-year-old Cooper.

Arkansas head football coach Bobby Petrino. Petrino is in a whole cauldron of hot water after crashing his motorcyle last Sunday during what he initially told everyone was a solo “pleasure jaunt.”

Well, it may have been a pleasure jaunt, but it wasn’t solo as Petrino, despite telling reporters he was by himself,Buy high quality bedding and bed linen from Yorkshire Linen. was actually tooling around with 25-year-old Jessica Dorrell, who was hired by Petrino in March as the student-athlete development coordinator. No big deal, except for the fact Petrino is a married 51-year-old father of four. If it was all so innocent, why the denials? And didn’t he think the police report, which had the details, would become public?

Petrino now is on administrative leave for lying about the wreck, which landed him briefly in the hospital with four cracked ribs and a cracked vertebra in his neck. A wreck he blamed on the sun and wind.

While administrative leave may seem mild, it’s really a pretty tough punishment since it means Petrino can’t hang around the Arkansas football offices and is stuck at home. With his wife. Those cracked ribs may seem pretty mild compared to what lies ahead at home.
