After a great trip back to Indiana for a wedding (Congrats to Adam and Lauren once again), I’ve returned to the Emerald Coast to a news reader chock full of interesting stuff.

No, seriously…..
Giant asian carp have invaded the waterways of the Central U.S., leaping from the water and smacking boaters in the head.
A Florida man is dead after an argument that started over a game of Yahtzee ended in a fatal stabbing. And you thought hitting up strip clubs with Pacman Jones was dangerous..
A Minnesota man has been charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct and ordered to pay more than $2,000 after he attempted to pay a parking ticket he’d received with dog feces.
The Supreme Court ruled that a 14-year-old teenager did not have the right to post a 14-foot banner near his high school advocating “Bong Hits 4 Jesus.”

EA Sports has announced that it will host a free fantasy football league on its site for the upcoming NFL season. I still think Yahoo has the easiest and most user-friendly fantasy football leagues. EA is offering live scoring for free.. hmmm…
Jets guard Pete Kendall has publicly blasted the organization for launching a “smear campaign” against him as he continues to complain about his contract. I could be wrong but wasn’t Kendall given his walking papers by the Cardinals for similar issues? This guy is a malcontent and the Jets should cut him before this spills over into the season.
More on Hep from the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Will the Big Ten network be on basic cable?
Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops says the OU quarterback competition isn’t an issue for him, despite the fact that he doesn’t have a quarterback. An open quarterback competition going into the season, as Mark Richt how that worked out at Georgia last year.
An interesting column in The Oklahoman today about Patriots WR Wes Welker, a player I firmly believe to be one of the most overrated talents in the league. Let’s face it, the guy is a glorified Tim Dwight.
A great column in the San Fransisco Chronicle by Scott Ostler about former Giants pitcher Rod Beck who was found dead at age 38 over the weekend.
