SubscribeSo just how desperate are we?
From “Ten College Football Players I Can’t Wait to See” from RumorsandRants.com:
7. S Taylor Mays, USC (Sr.)
The second coming of Ronnie Lott, perhaps? Mays surprised many be deciding to listen to Pete Carroll and stay in L.A. rather than bolt for the NFL millions. Mays is a lights out hitter and has highlight upon highlight of taking dudes’ heads off. Phillips, an unabashed USC homer, informs me he thinks Mays is Jewish. As another in an epically long line of failed Jewish athletes, I root way too hard for fellow Tribesmen. But I’m skeptical. We hear these half-Jew stories all the time. It’s really sad how deprived and obsessed we are when it comes to The Chosen All-Stars. And Mays’ case is an intriguing one. I mean, he can’t be Jewish. If he was, wouldn’t he have taken the NFL cash? I kid, I kid. Plus, we’re not known for kicking ass. That’s what made “Munich” so badass. And why do you think I’m so damn excited about “Inglorious Basterds?” But Phillips swears it’s true, and Mays got an 8 out of 10 from JewOrNotJew.com. So, it must be true. [Emphasis added]

Speaking of Jews kicking ass, was Defiance any good?
If you like the story of Jews kickin’ A**, then, yes.
Ron, did I miss a follow-up on Taylor Mays? He is Jewish, identifies himself as Jewish and was Bar Mitzvah’d.

The family belongs to Temple De Hirsch Sinai in Seattle.
I posted a link about him awhile back, but now seems like a good time to revisit.
