The Junkies are odd birds.

“He has become the area’s boxing franchise, reviving a sport that has been on the ropes around the country.”
Uh Thom, are you forgetting about Lamont and Anthony Peterson? I mean, not even a mention of the undefeated brothers who are both in line for major title fights in the coming year. That’s pretty damn weak.
I like Lange, and it’s great that he’s cultivated a following, but he’s still a Contender alum.

I knew I shouldn’t've included a boxing link.

No Jamie, that was good of you. I just expect more from a veteran guy like high-pitched Thom.

Fags.

wait who comes off like a total jackass, Chad Dukes or Chase Daniel? Or both?

Dukes comes off a bit like a jackass in the beginning, but was being a homer for the Redskins. Daniels comes off as a jerk IMHO a bigger one, trying to get Missouri fans to go after Dukes.

Definite PAC-10/Little 11/ ND bias in that QB list. USC # 1 ? The U and BYU should be at the top
of that list, I could even live with ND there given the pro careers of Montana and Joey T. None of the USC ones mentioned have had a great pro career yet except for Pat Haden.
And the Terps didnt even make honrable mention
