ONE OF NATION'S TOP FOOTBALL RECRUITS LACKS ONLY A NICKNAME

ESPN and Rivals.com's #1 ranked "Athlete" in the nation, Jersey City, N.J. St. Peter's Prep's Will Hill seems to have it all: the 6'3", 200 QB/RB/Safety has a 4.4 40 time, a 3.0 GPA, a 6.1 (out of 6.1) recruiting ranking from Rivals, and a scholarship commitment to the University of Florida. Only one thing has eluded the electrifying young star to this point: a catchy nickname.
"He's had a few nicknames over the years, but none of them stuck," said prep teammate OL Paul "The Gaul" Small, "I remember in frosh ball, we called him 'The Magician'. Then later he was W-Money. That was sorta cool but didn't last long. During summer school one year he was 'The Bard', but I think that may have been partly since we were all trying to get his grades up with his English Lit teacher. The two I remember from this past year were 'Blueberry' and 'Superbad'. But those were really only for a few weeks, plus Carrie's party."
A number of outside resources have been called in to try and come up with a catchy nickname for the football phenom. Local New Jersey rappers held a contest at the club Beat Street but failed to figure out any suitable name or rhyme. In anticipation of his arrival on the Gainesville campus this coming fall, the Florida Athletic Department has enlisted the help of their Department of Linguistics, but they have so far drawn a blank in terms of figuring out a moniker for this talented young man.
Hill himself likes "to chill with teammates after practice, playing Xbox", and says not having a cool nickname is hardly a bitter pill to swallow. When all else fails, he enjoys watching a favorite DVD: Kill Bill.

ESPN reported Kansas coach Mark Mangino flew to New Orleans for the Football Writers Association of America dinner. Thoughts...
1. I didn't realize the Boeing 787 Dreamliner was operating yet.
2. This could be the shot in the arm that the Crescent City's restaurant industry needs.
3. Be careful MM; if you've been reading the news lately you know Louisiana diners have been cracking down on patrons that abuse buffets.

The Knicks Zach Randolph was suspended one game for throwing his headband at a referee. Various accounts have the headband either hitting the ref or landing just short of his feet. Considering it's the Knicks, I think it's a safe bet which version is correct.

The next time they send one of those recordings into outer space they should include "Boomer Sooner", so we are never visited by aliens.
