Disrespectful: Former legendary USC QB Matt Leinart says the university has asked him multiple times if they could unretire his number for potential recruits.
He told them “absolutely f***ing not.”
“There’s been multiple times where people at USC have asked me if I would unretire my jersey for some five star prospect, and do you want to know what I told those guys straight up? I said, ‘Absolutely f***ing not.’ I am never going to unretire my jersey for some random dude who by the way now could wear 11 and transfer after a year.”

back in university, i told my economics seminar that most successful companies survive not because they’re brilliant but because they cheat, manipulate and trap everyone else in their failures.
the auditorium went silent, half the students smirked nervously and the professors looked at me like i’d just opened a coffin in the middle of class.
later that week, the dean cornered me. he didn’t argue, just leaned close and said, chris be careful.
the truth is a luxury no one in power wants you to afford... speak too loudly and doors close before you even knock, that’s when i realized: academia doesn’t reward honesty, it rewards compliance.
the real lessons are darker than any textbook. i hope you learnt something? buena suerte.
I literally know a guy that made millions selling his cure for prostate cancer to big pharma. He cured himself and had a “98%” success rate in curing prostate cancer. He told me that the FDA and big pharma just kept slapping him with red tape to the point where he finally gave up. He was also worried about losing his life. So he sold his technology to big business. For millions. They buried it. He moved to a ranch. And gave up on most of humanity.
Sadly this is true. We are being murdered in many different ways.
God bless
