RIP former NFL RB Doug Martin, only 36, who died in police custody. Born in Oakland, he grew up in Stockton, where he was All-State in high school, where he also ran track. Although only five-nine, he received an athletic scholarship to Boise St., where he excelled as a junior and senior. He was the Maaco Bowl MVP in 2010 and 2011. Overall, he had more than 3000 yards rushing and scored 48 TDs, including five receiving. His teammates nicknamed him Muscle Hamster. He is a member of the school’s Hall of Fame. He was drafted by Tampa Bay in the first round of the 2012 NFL draft, the 31st player selected. His impact was immediate, as he amassed 1926 yards rushing and receiving and scored a total of twelve TDs. He was named to the NFL All-Rookie Team and earned an appearance in the Pro Bowl. He was hampered by a shoulder injury the next two seasons. He rebounded in 2015, had more than 1600 total yards and seven TDs, one receiving. He was First Team All-Pro and earned another trip to the Pro Bowl. His productivity then declined and he was suspended for substance abuse. He was released by the Bucs after six seasons. He holds seven franchise records. He signed with the Raiders in 2018 and had a decent final season, 723 yards rushing. Another injury ended his career in 2019. Overall, he had 5356 yards rushing and 1207 receiving. He scored 30 TDs, two receiving. Photo from Google Images:
Learned a new word: Vajazzled — adorning the pubic area (of a woman) with crystals, glitter or other decoration.
The Anti-Inflation Book Shop had to deal with sprinkles on two occasions and an unfriendly wind today. The only departures were in Russian. My thanks to the two ladies who took those hardcovers home.
