TOBY GERHART TICKLES LAZY COLUMNISTS' SWEET SPOT

PrintToby Gerhart, crackerjack Stanford running back last seen being almost as egregiously robbed of that one trophy as Ndamukong Suh, has hit upon the absolute canniest solution to raise his personal brand profile in advance of the draft: He's Colt McCoy's new roommate.
"It's almost like he's a long-lost brother, that's how well we've gotten along," Gerhart said. "He keeps me on my diet and I make sure he keeps eating so he gains weight."
If the tenure of Jordan Shipley in McCoy's life is any indication of what to expect, look for this connection to be run into the ground from now 'til half-past ad nauseam by complacent broadcasters everywhere.
[Also mentioned in the above-linked article: Craig James is receiving something called the Doak Walker Legends Award for his time at SMU, so, have fun with that.]

Somewhere...
Jordan Shipley is huddled around a burning oil drum wondering how his life went so wrong.

For those who do not know...
The Doak Walker Legends Award is apparently a large (actual) douchebag made of paper maiche.
That whirring sound you hear is Doak Walker, spinning in his grave.
Is this an award for most money received by a running back in college?

Better get a bucket, I'm gonna throw up.
Cue Brent Musburger with the creepily adoring/homoerotic obession over Colt McCoy and his roommates.
Real college roommates, by the way, do not keep each other on their diets. They try to kill each other with dangerous and wickedly fun drinking games. On a Tuesday.

And if they’re too stoned to remember any drinking games, they just try to out-chug you.

Please say there’s room for Tim Tebow and Riley Cooper to move in. The instant that happened, somewhere in the world Gary Danielson’s Tebowner would explode, killing everyone in the general vicinity.
(On a sidenote, I’m sure that Riley Cooper and Tim Tebow’s headstones will mention that they were roommates.)
If they get drafted by the Bengals, I hope the backfield nickname will be The White Stripes.

This is really unfair
Gerhart is already a white running back in the “gritty throwback” mode. Sportswriters don’t need more reasons to cover his nutsack in a thick layer of saliva.
