I’ve been reading a lot of good articles as of late and haven’t exactly found enough time to write about them myself. With that being said, I still think these articles are just too good to go by without me passing them along.

Therefore, here is the inaugural edition of the Wednesday Workhorse Links (yea, I need a new name, but that’s the best spur of the moment creativity I currently have):

  • Our forefather and founder of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, would be proud of the Virginia students after they rebelled against the school administration, who placed a ban on all signs at athletic events. A week prior, ESPN’s Rick Reilly wrote about how egregious UVA’s new policy is.
  • Sports are 80 Percent Mental took a look a couple of weeks ago at the transition of video games as something to occupy children and college students to becoming a full on sports training tool.
  • Our buddy James over at NE Pats Draft got the opportunity to attend the Patriots opening day and watch the Pats beat the Chiefs but lose Tom Brady. He chronicled his day in these three posts.
  • James also has just updated his 2009 NFL Mock Draft, and even though he may be right, I don’t like seeing two Georgia Bulldog underclassmen on the board.
  • Speaking of Georgia underclassmen, Fantasy Insider Online has this season’s Heisman frontrunners after the first three weeks.
  • Too Good.
  • Back to the Brady injury, Josh over at KC Chiefs Football might be a descendant of Nostradamus because he forewarned of rushing Brady back from his prior leg injury in his Open Letter to Bill Belichick.
  • After two weeks in Cuzoogle’s Pigskin Picks contest, we are a couple of games back, but we’re pretty sure someone is using jedi mind tricks or Spygate film equipment against us.
  • In case you missed it…what to do when someone takes your job, according to former Detroit Lions’ running back Tatum Bell.
  • Kellex at The Sports Dollar wants to know “What kind of cocktail is your sports blog?” I’d have to say we would be Hawaiian Slap (a Shotgun specialty) - Delicious going down, guaranteed to bring the noise, but probably leading to someone getting slapped by the end of the night.
  • In between games of a doubleheader, Tampa Bay (no longer Devil) Rays’ Evan Longoria and B.J. Upton decided to go for new hairdos.
  • Really? Grow up Jayhawks’ fans.
  • And last but not least…the more I read about her, the more I think Megan Fox would be a cool ass chick to hang out with. Plus, she’s gorgeous.

Hope you enjoy, and if you have a better name, feel free to Contact Us and enlighten my current feeble creativity.
