I have one selfish reason for writing this and that is that I'm looking for four more players for a fantasy football league that drafts at 2pm today. If you're into this sort of thing, we'd a) love to have you, and b) be grateful to not have to look for anyone else.

If you're interested, the yahoo league id is 557181 and the password is 12345.

Now, onto other important things such as:

College president fired for being an idiot

Chad Ocho-Cinco, cool or not so much?

Battle of the Jessicas, Alba or Biel?

As a University of Arizona grad student, do I have to change my loyalties from the Ducks to the Wildcats when the two teams play?

Shawne Merriman, will he suffer an injury 5x worse than the one he has now this season? Will he deserve it?

Poll

Am I required to switch loyalties?

Yea, you have to root for the Wildcats.

No, you can stick with the Ducks.

Who gives a damn? USC is still in the Pac-10.

I don't know about the Wildcats/Ducks thing

but the UW has rejected me twice, so even though I’m from Seattle, the Huskies are pretty much dead to me.

The DBacks are apparently considering trading for David Eckstein.

I don’t know why, because we have our own.

And there it is, they traded some guy named Chad Beck for Eckstein.

And the usual "fuck yous" to Clay Bennett, Howard Schultz, David Stern, and all of the NBA.

It was simply a publicity stunt on his part anyway

He had no real serious intentions of anything, no matter what he told the media.

Would you have made it as a grad student to Arizona without UO? Always a duck man!

I fucking hate you Mariners

Never be a Duck fan

and if you know anybody in Tucson that wants to buy a house about 5 min away from campus let me know.

I might, but I wouldn't want it until August '09.

I’ll keep my ears open, though.

If you went to UO for 4 years (or two if you transfered from CC)...

then I say they should still hold your allegiance. I have a friend who went to WSU with me, but now is going to UW for grad school (only because he has a family now and wants to stay close to home). He’s still a Coug!

"Washburn makes do with what he's given." Mariners mainpage.

Ha ha ha! That actually made me laugh. Poor guy.

"Have love... will travel." The Sonics.

Chad Ocho Cinco is my new favorite athlete.

Pure genius. People may think he is dumb, but he can always change it back after his career is over. And how does Cassius Clay change his name to Muhammad Ali when Cassius Clay is such a freaking cool name? Maybe Chad Ocho Cinco converted to Spanish. Also, I love how the NFL is “looking into it” as if they can somehow stop Chad from putting Ocho Cinco on the back of his jersey.

Biel definitely has the better body, but Alba has the better looks above the shoulders. I would take either, though, no questions asked.

Grad school does not change your loyalties to your old school.

Merriman is an idiot and deserves to have his leg severed. Seriously, I don’t think the Chargers are that good and it is not worth risking his career for an upcoming disappointing season.
