Many Indicted In University Of San Diego Point Shaving Scandal

This should really not come much of a surprise to people. I would venture to say at smaller universities that do not have big college basketball programs this is more common than people think. Players know many times they can get away with it and make some good money doing it. These players from Sand Diego got caught. I wonder how many get through the cracks though and are never caught.

The indictment names Brandon Johnson, the school's all-time leader in points and assists who finished his college career last year; Thaddeus Brown, an assistant coach at the school in the 2006-07 season; and Brandon Dowdy, who played at USD in the 2006-07 season and at the University of California, Riverside, from 2008 to 2010. Seven other people were also charged.

Hopefully, this is a isolated case and we will not find out about anymore. It does make you wonder if there are many more out their in college basketball. Only time will tell if anymore exist, but for now these players and individuals are the ones that got busted.

Darren Sproles More Than Just A Great Football Player

Every Sunday Darren Sproles suits up and plays football for the San Diego Chargers, but he is a big winner probably for things he does off the field and not on it. Sproles who has stuttered all his life has been an inspiration to many people by his accomplishments on and off the football field. Sproles readily admits when the camera's start to role he does get nervous and you can tell by watching the video above, but you have to pull for a guy like Sproles. He has worked hard and when given his chance he has come up big this season. He battles on the field every Sunday, but his toughest battle he has already won and that is to prove he belongs no matter if he stutters or not.

Does San Diego Have A Chance

This is a question many people are asking themsleves and it could be real interesting for a couple of different reasons. Of course San Diego has a chance to win against New England. The Patriots want to keep going the role they are on and the Chargers want to prove they belong. It will be a long climb for San Diego, but one they can do.

The key to this game will be the Chargers defense that has played well and will have a stern test this weekend against the No.1 offense in the NFL. It should be a very interesting game and we will just have to wait and see what happens in this one.
