Shortly after he won this year's Heisman Trophy, I saw Alabama running back Mark Ingram on Good Morning America , Today (or one of those morning shows), and thought to myself, "Here we go again. It has already started; another year, another month-long, whirlwind tour for the Heisman winner." For a number of ...Published on: 1st January, 2010
