Boy I remember those days when my neighbor Mike Boyd was the recruiter for UM and his wife's best friend was sleeping with a few of the players and was as proud as could be. She was in love with Rumeal, he was 20, she was 42. Guess maybe he should've taken her up on a life together. No pictures? Why such little detail here?

6 1/2 years for a nonviolent crime is a lot. That's what, $650,000 for the taxpayers?

Very sad. What was the basis for the conviction?
