Tale of the Tape:
The Heisman Trophy is the most prestigious award in all of sport, hands down. Winning the Heisman Trophy is not a story that comes to an end with the season; it is an open-ended recognition of some of the most superior athletes of all time. This award is not given to the player with merely the best record nor the most impressive stats (while these are two very important factors in determining the winner). Rather it is given to the player who proves throughout the season that he is a men among boys, displaying ability at the college level that you could only dream of doing in pick-up games at recess as a young boy. He makes a play or two a game that leaves you gawking at what is unfolding before your eyes thinking ‘I didn’t know the human body was capable of doing such things’.
Until mid-season, it seemed that nobody was going to win the 2012 Heisman Trophy, but it unfortunately was going to be simply given to the player that was most suited. This was until we all were exposed to the red-shirt freshman phenomenon that is Johnny Football. Busting into the national scene like a bat out of hell, Johnny ‘Football’ Manziel made football fans everywhere fall in love with him. In a combination of showmanship and success, breaking the record for SEC all-purpose yards in a season, beating both Tim Tebow and Cam Newton (2007 and 2010 Heisman Trophy winners respectively), Manziel became the frontrunner for this year’s award. This Saturday, I believe a freshman will hoist the bronze statue for the first time, as Johnny Manziel forever makes his mark in sport history as the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner.

If this is true then it’s one of the coolest ways to announce an album. Eminem just released a hat to commemorate the Detoir Tigers on making it to the world series. On the side of the hat are dates for each time he’s released an album including the year 2013. Hopefully this means he has an album coming in 2013. Good luck to all the rappers out there trying to compete with this album because looking at his track record this one will just go diamond again.
“For a limited time only in honor of the big games and the hometown team’s return to The D, we are pleased to offer the Eminem Baseball Tribute Hat in both home and away colors. Side panel is dedicated to the landmark Eminem solo albums. A portion of the proceeds will go to The Marshall Mathers Foundation.”
If you didn’t notice last year, D. Wade and Lebron James were always yelling at Mario Chalmers for messing up plays, especially Lebron. It got so bad that Chalmers actually requested for them to tone it down. So here’s what Lebron James had to say when asked about Chalmers’ request.
“If he’s grown up in the last year, then it will tone down,” ”It’s that simple…I don’t do it just to do it. He messes up sometimes. But, he comes through for me, though.”
So we’ll see how it goes when the games start, at least he’s just giving him some constructive criticism.
After countless hours and hard work put into these last few months, we are very proud to present to you Rich Kids Brand’s Fall 2012 collection.
