Andrew Luck is returning to Stanford for 2011

ESPN.com has just released an article saying that Stanford star QB Andrew Luck will go back to school for his senior season. Luck was ranked as the No. 1 QB on almost everyone's draft board if he was to come out of school early.
For most teams, he was probably No. 1 on their draft boards. Carolina was suspected to take Luck with the first pick in this year's draft. Carolina said they were interested in the Junior from Houston, Texas.
"'I am committed to earning my degree in architectural design from Stanford University and am on track to accomplish this at the completion of the spring quarter of 2012," Luck said in a statement.
Good for Luck. Luck could have entered the draft this year and would have been the hands down No. 1 pick. He could have gotten a contract at least the size of what Sam Bradford got, which was $78 million. He could have started right away on a team that is desperate for a piece to build a team around.
However, Luck made the decision that most would call the wrong one. Why risk your No. 1 draft status to play another year of meaningless college football? Why not go to the NFL and get $40 million in guaranteed money?
I see it differently. Andrew Luck is "true old school," as his dad said. He wants to finish out his college experience and get his degree in architectural design. Props to a man who wants to go back to school and is not interested in the money and the fame and fortune that goes with the NFL life.
‘Man with the Golden Voice’ Ted Williams
Ted Williams, the homeless man with a “Golden Voice” is quickly learning that his new found fame is going to bring a plethora of problems along with it.
Police were called to the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood Monday night where Ted Williams is staying. It seems he and his daughter became involved in a heated argument over money.
Of course.
Staff members at the Renaissance Hotel called police on Ted Williams and his daughter after their argument became extremely loud and disruptive. The two were taken to the local police station and released soon after. No laws had been broken and neither wanted to press charges.
Now that Ted Williams and his “golden voice” have been discovered, rescuing him from the streets where he had been living for years, Ted probably has a pocket full of money and opportunity. But for his daughter to be concerned with money so soon seems a bit selfish to me. Shouldn’t she be more concerned with the fact that her father is well, off the streets and back in her life rather than money?
Despite Ted Williams not being there for his children (and he had a lot of kids, nine to be exact) and getting caught up in a world of drugs, he seems genuinely remorseful that his addictions took over his life and caused him to miss out on his children’s upbringing. I’m sure he plans on making it up to them, but for cripe’s sakes, it’s only been a week. I just hope that his children give him a chance to be a father again and don’t make it all about money. If he owes anyone money it’s the mother of his children who raised the kids on her own.
Regardless, Mr. Ted Williams and his golden voice certainly have a rough road ahead. Let’s hope he and his family can come together instead of be pushed further apart during this crazy time in their lives. This story could have a happy ending – but will it?
