... , neither Johnson and his family nor his fiancee and her family can accept free or discounted services not available to the general public. Now I can understand stopping people from giving the couple an envelope with $1000 in it for a wedding gift , but if some nice Idahoan (did I just offend the Rutgers womyn s b-ball team?)wants to give the couple one of the 38 toaster ovens that they ll likely receive, then what s the harm. I guess Johnson will have to crochet his own comforter and bed skirt. Heaven forbid the NCAA look into Reggie Bush s family living rent free in a phat house or the obvious lack of control the Florida program is in. (HT: The Wizard of Odds )
