    I wonder if he signed the bankruptcy papers side-armed?

    My college roommate had this poster which made him a target of endless ridicule ...

    It's hard to believe that he already blew through his share of the profits from the #18 Dallas Cowboy replica jerseys that 90% of Northeast Ohio bought in 1993.

    God, that is just awful.

    That was truly sad.

    The Indiana equivalent was the Texas Tech gear that floated around back in 2001.

    Wisconsin's test will be if there's a run on Vikings' Favre jerseys.

    He tried to make a run to the bank, but was brought down outside his house because he was too slow.

    I will personally tar and feather anyone I see in one of those, including Favre himself.

    Maybe Obama will bail him out.

    Does anyone remember this? It doesn't sound right to me:

    If that's true, it's ironic because when the two were at Miami, Kosar had a reputation as the brainy kid who graduated with honors in three years while Testaverde was labeled the "dumb jock".

    May not be as odd as it sounds. May come down to the advisors.

    One of the great off the record quotes I got once concerned a player with immense talent who was struggling to find a place to play. His coach told me, "His problem is he's dumb. That's not the real issue. Lots of guys are dumb but they realize it and figure out what they can do and do it. He's too damn dumb to know he's dumb."

    Perhaps Vinny knew finances were a tad over his head and listened to and trusted the right advisors. Perhaps Bernie thought he was smart enough to do it on his own. Smart people who aren't quite as smart as they think are in many ways more dangerous than dumbasses.
