    Russell's been pretty elusive with the media since the "sip-sip" arrest in July 2010, but SI's L. Jon Wertheim finally got an extended interview with him. Russell says he's not fat, broke or a drug addict, but also doesn't seem all that motivated to get back to pro football.

    Read it last night. That story overpromises by a lot in the first two pages.

    I'll read it after I pour myself a purple drank.

    My favorite part was JaMarcus' critique of Drew Brees.

    I look forward to seeing this late next week some time.
    Just got my hands on last week's issue this morning, and I'm eager to delve into the World Series preview. According to the cover, they pick a team to win it in six games. Since Game 6 is tonight, I guess I better read that preview posthaste.

    Well shit, when I get last week's issue next week, I'll be able to open it and right away rip them if they were wrong, or not. Then I'll read all about how the key to this World Series will be LaRusa's master use of the bullpen, and his overall baseball acumen. At least that's what I'm guessing, since my issues come so fucking late.

    JoMarcus Russel will be back in the NFL by the time I receive that issue.

    Interesting look into him. His unpublicized charitable activites are certainly admirable. I would pull for him if he gets another chance. But he's got to make that chance happen. It won't happen on its own.

    Stop your complaining. I got the 1997 NFL Draft preview issue on Monday.

    If you steal that much money, your conscience basically begs you to do SOMETHING worthwhile with it.

    Other than purple drank.

    Not saying purple drank isn't worthwhile. Just that perhaps you can't spend the GDP of Namibia just on purple drank.
