10:06 AM ET 11.20 | The University of Oregon won't let it out. LeGarrette Blount is excused from appearing in the postgame interview area where other players give interviews. And he's shuffled away from post-practice media sessions. And on Saturday after the Ducks beat Arizona State, state troopers escorted Blount off the field. It was reported by ESPN that not talking with the media was part of the agreement that went along with Blount's "ladder" program that was designed by coach Chip Kelly. So much so that when Blount was contacted by a member of the national media during the early weeks of his suspension the player reported it immediately to Kelly.

I'm sure Blount can speak so eloquently he would charm the media with his smooth ennunciation and mastery of the english language. A role model for the youth of America. He should have a great career outside of sports and become successful in any endeavor he chooses whether it be drugs, car jacking, robbery,assault or whatever you do with an Oregon degree.

Fugging Hilarious!! It has now become obvious that they want Blount to stay away from the media because they are trying to cover up his anger issues. Why else would you not want to show off how far he has come and his Personal Feelings.
I think that Oregon rushed to get him back and don't want him to talk to any media so they can buy some time, Once their bowl game is over he can talk to anyone he wants. Mark my words!

This guy is a "Loose Cannon" and he will go off again on someone and then we will hear how Oregon did everything they could.

i don't care that he clocked Byron Hout it was what he did after that. blount has to be restrained from going into the stands after the fans. i guess blind siding a guy wasn't manly enough for him he needed to clock a guy in the stands half his size to prove how tough he is.

A lot of Oregon students and graduates are involved in groundbreaking research, businesses and legislation that goes to improve the environment. It'd be more appropriate to say that they'll go on to succeed in Tie Dying, Making hemp jewelry, or doing henna tattoos at Grateful Dead events.

In other words, more likely to find a hippy than a thug with an Oregon degree. However, you'll run into a few no matter where you go that has a football program. Blount lacks tact and self-control. That hardly is a fair assumption about the rest of Eugene, OR.
