Dumb and incredibly dumb

So.

You’re quarterback Jeremiah Masoli.

Despite a troubled past, but you land a football scholarship to the University of Oregon. There, you succeed so well on the field that you’re talked of as a Heisman Trophy candidate.

Victories, honors and a fat NFL contract beckon.

So you get involved in the stealing of laptops from a university fraternity house and wind up suspended for the entire 2010 season?

But OK. OK. You’re a young man and young men make “mistakes.” Your coach is willing to put you back on the team in 2011 if you follow some Very Simple Rules, which include no more brushes with the law.

Victories, honors and possibly a fat NFL contract still beckon.

So you … get busted driving with marijuana in the car?

Now you’ve permanently been kicked off the team. You’ll eventually find some program to take you for your final year of eligibility — this is college football, after all.

But that fat NFL contract no longer beckons.

You’re not only dumb — you’re chump dumb.
