Paxton Lynch is the surprise as he elected to forgo his final year of eligibility at Memphis and head to the NFL Draft. According to some prognosticators, Lynch could be the stop pick. Lynch is 6-7, 245 lbs, threw for 3,778 yards, 28 touchdowns, and just four interceptions. Watching him, Lynch reminds me of Brock Osweiler of the Denver Broncos, who really looks like the spitting image of him - or vice-versa. UC Berkeley's Daniel Lasco was the leading rusher for the California Golden Bears and had over 1,000 yards in 2014 before injuries slowed him in 2015 - still he gained 331 yards and three touchdowns.

Erica Kinsman Jameis Winston Accuser Blocks Facebook Page From View - Video In my previous video, we looked at the Facebook page of Erica Kinsman, the woman who is accusing former Florida State and now Tampa Bay Bucs QB Jameis Winston of sexual assault.

Stay tuned. via IFTTT http://youtu.be/C3S2_FIGkuQ

FitnessSF Oakland, the gym once known as Gold's Gym on Grand Avenue, had a gas leak in November of 2015, but failed to tell members not to come because the gym was closed, and had the problem. Indeed, were it not for the use of social media in the form of this tweet, many would not have been informed about what was not done: Priya Vaswani (@privaswani): @fitnesssf Annoying that you didn't email members about the gas leak in Oakland. Spent $10 to/from on a Lyft to get to gym this evening. Quit that gym @privaswani bad service and now gas leak at @fitnesssf Oakland. — Oakland Gym Trainers (@OaktrainGym) November 7, 2015 And while the original tweet seems to have been recently delete, social media is such that erasing the truth is harder than ever to do.
