"I'm sure you've heard the tale of Florida State safety Myron Rolle, who won a Rhodes Scholarship on Saturday afternoon in Alabama, then flew to Maryland (on a plane, we assume) played in his team's game that night, then killed a wild boar with his bare hands and fed his entire squad with it at the post-game meal..." Well done, sir.

As a long-time Seminoles fan (the result of growing up with an FSU-alum dad), I am extremely happy to see one of our players in the news for doing something good for a change!

My dad's side of the family is kind of et up with FSU alums, so I can't hate on the Seminoles quite as much as I can on Clempson. In fact, should Mr. Rolle decide to fund his medical efforts with proceeds from an NFL career, I'd be delighted if the Panthers took a look at him.

True Rhodes Scholar story: My fraternity brother Hunter Monroe, Davidson '84, won a Rhodes and also anchored the Sig Ep chugging team.

Hummmmmmm; I wonder what sport Bill Clinton excelled in?

[Tommy]

That would be diving.

Bill Clinton always said that he was the "fat kid in the band." Just a note: as a (former) band mom, I can assure you there is a lot of exercise involved (both marching and mom'ing) with learning precision, teamwork and choreography. Nope, it's not football, but there's more to fitness than only dribbling, throwing, hitting or catching a ball - at least, that's what we want kids to learn, right? You can earn a sports letter in GCS by being in the marching band (not sure of the full requirements, but my kid has one).

Hummmmmmmmm! A sports letter in band, yeah; that would be Bill Clinton.
Typical of GCS and other government schools.

Maybe Rolle could mentor Michael Vick, who did not feed to team members the animals which he owned and killed. Terrel Owens, Pacman Jones, OJ Simpson and George "Kingfish" Stevens should benefit so much from what is left over of the white man's burden. Rolle slaughtered and consumed pork on the Sabbath which takes him off the terrorist/no fly watch list. He also has adopted the religionism of the of the culture which enslaved his ancestors, not unlike the Israelites returning from Babylon. This should make everyone in the Obamanation want to pierce a nipple with a Manifest Destiny flagpin, then cut a hole in the shirt so the flagpin sticks out.
