In a few years, I think people will be amazed at how little controversy Mayo
generates.
My opinion.

Hope you caught the bizarre New York Times mini-feature about USC's
recruitment of O.J. Mayo. It's indescribably indescribable. As Jacob
from Baltimore writes, "What a nutjob. And we're handing the NBA over to
this guy?"

Also, SKizzle in New York passes this along: "Did you see OJ Mayo's last
play as a high schooler? He threw a sick pass to himself off the
backboard, dunked it home and threw the ball into the stands in
celebration IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GAME (well, a minute to go). He's lucky
George Teague wasn't around. I'm torn between it being sick and
ridiculous."

(One thing's for sure: I think we finally found the athlete who's going
to make Skip Bayless's head explode on live TV.)
