He discovered the grass is only greener here (it\u2019s blue in Kentucky), so he returned to again take charge of his 1954 green Hudson Hornet that has been in storage, refilled his pipe, and is ready to continue his smokin\u2019 ways. Here is what he recently told us at the Sports Paper.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16\" style=\"width: 483px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Bill_Bumertonclear.fw_.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16\" alt=\"Bumerton sees all\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Bill_Bumertonclear.fw_.png\" width=\"483\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Bill_Bumertonclear.fw_.png 483w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Bill_Bumertonclear.fw_-300x290.png 300w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Bill_Bumertonclear.fw_-135x130.png 135w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Bill_Bumertonclear.fw_-85x82.png 85w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Bill_Bumertonclear.fw_-280x270.png 280w, http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Bill_Bumertonclear.fw_-145x140.png 145w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bumerton sees all<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That Johnny Manziel character may not be worththe trouble. I have no doubts, Big Dawg, he is a gifted quarterback. He\u2019s proven that. But if the Website Rumors and Rants is correct in its allegations, then the guy is trouble with a capital \u201cT\u201d.\u00a0 The Website claims that Manziel lied about the reason why he left the Manning Passing Academy (he overslept, he told the media). The real reason is that he was out late at night on Bourbon Street and then lied to Archie Manning about it. He was then asked to leave the academy.\u00a0 He has a pattern of misbehavior, and I\u2019m wondering if a potential NFL team would take a chance on a guy like that. I\u2019m betting, Big Dawg, a team would, but, boy, it\u2019s a big gamble. Me? I\u2019d take him out to the woodshed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bumming around town with Bill Bumerton Bumerton is a retired Navy fighter pilot who had been missing in action for&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bumerton"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=493"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":494,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493\/revisions\/494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.sportspaper.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
