NFL News Items Plus Johnny at Augusta

"Johnny be good"

• Our own Johnny Wishbone will be at the Masters representing StatLeader. Be the first one to find him each day and wil a full one year membership. Johnny is a good-looking young fellow, (of course not as distinguished as the more experienced members [translation: older] members of the staff). He also has the distinction of being the only staff member, other than the Crew Chief, to have a full head of hair. Johnny will be wearing one of two StatLeader/Titleist hats, one red one black. Good luck on finding him.

"Sure man, No Problem"

• The South Carolina Doctor accused of selling steroids to professional athletes has indicated that he will write a book naming names - but only if they sign a release first. Given that this whole thing is a target of a Federal Investigation, we don't expect NFL players to flock to the signing table. Then again, this is the same sport that contains geniuses like the fellow that tried to swipe a laptop from an security conscious airport.

"Can we Fowler this up any worse?"

• Perspective Vikings owner Reggie Fowler appears to be having a little problem producing the up from cash for the sale. It now looks like the success of this whole deal depends on Fowler's ability to sell one of his companies, SATCO. Reported purchase price for SATCO is $300 Million, roughly half of the supposed $625 Million purchase price. Gee Reggie, don't you think it might have been smart to sell this company before you tell everyone you have the money?
