CARAVANTES ADMITS THAT MICHAELS WAS TRYING TO SCORE HIM SOME BUSH

The San Diego Union-Tribune has now chimed in on the major scandal that unfolded in its own backyard, and that two journalists from other locales broke before the paper of record for the city of San Diego.

Agent David Caravantes tells the Union-Tribune that the owner of the house in which the Bush family lived (possibly for free) was trying to get Caravantes included in the pool of potential representatives for Bush.

"They were trying to get me in front of [Bush] during the interview process, which I was never a part of,” Caravantes said. "They didn't try to recruit him for me. They thought it would be a good idea to have everything in San Diego. I think their concept was that they were going to deal with marketing, and they [needed] an agent.

"If things worked out, we were going to try to put something together [to become business partners]. But everything was in waiting to see if they landed (Bush) to do the marketing. Nothing came of it."

Though Caravantes claims that "[t]hey didn't try to recruit him for me," the rest of his quote indicates that that's precisely what they were doing.

And the "they" here is the owner of the house, known both as "Michael Chief Michaels" and "Michael Pettiford," and Lloyd Lake, who currently is in federal prison. According to the Union-Tribune, "Michaels was arrested under his Pettiford name in October 1999 on felony charges of making terrorist threats and discharging a firearm in a negligent manner in an incident involving current Sycuan Tribal Chairman Daniel Tucker," but the charges were dropped in 2000 due to lack of evidence.

Caravantes' statements suggest that there is no relationship between himself and New Era. This conflicts with the information that our tech guy Sean found on Sunday, which indicates that offensive lineman Jabari Levey of South Carolina is represented by New Era Sports & Entertainment -- and David Caravantes.

The strangest thing about the article in the Union-Tribune is that the paper apparently has known about this issue for a while. So we wonder whether the U-T ever would have said word one about this matter if its hands hadn't been forced by other journalists.

After all, the U-T will be angling for access to its native son as he launches his NFL career. And there's nothing like exercising a little editorial restraint in order to unlock a stream of inside information regarding Bush and his journey in pro football.
