YOUR SLOW-NEWS-DAY-SO-LET’S-TALK-ABOUT-THIS-COMBINE-THING ROUNDUP
(Before you ask: We will never tire of this photo. Ever. We pray to Football Jesus (there’s a separate one for football) every night that Zibby goes into coaching so we can post it once a week.)

But what’s not true, he says, is the unavoidable association between Berkeley and marijuana — “Come on, man, you lived in Berkeley — tell the truth,” a scout reportedly said to Follett in an interview after he had denied ever smoking pot. [The Daily Cal]
“Everyone wants to talk about (Georgia’s) Matthew Stafford , I’ve been at camps and thrown with him,” Hoyer said. “But I feel like my arm is just as strong or just a little bit below his.” [Detroit News]
“[Loadholt] struggles to bend, and he struggles with any kind of elite speed. Orakpo ran by him all day long.” [Tulsa World]

Wait a sec, was that quote from QB Brian Hoyer or Congressman Steny Hoyer? Because I might believe the Congressman. Otherwise I’m calling BS.

Dawg 05 got the first and last word in on Hoyer’s complete jackassery. Awesome and ’nuff said.
