Bucs rookie linebacker and former Nebraska player Barrett Ruud comes from a long line of Nebraska linebackers. His father, two uncles and great-grandfather all played linebacker at Nebraska.
Additionally, he thought the first version of Longest Yard was funnier than the Adam Sandler version.
And, oh yeah, he's white. To be honest, first time I saw his name I assumed he was black. Maybe I'm the only person who assumed that, but I don't imagine I'm alone. But then again, I am an idiot.

FYI - that photo of Ruud is copyrighted by the St. Petersburg Times. Also, you should link to the article that you're paraphrasing.
Thanks John for the info, I didn't realize Ruud was a Germanic name. everything I've heard about Ruud so far has been good. The guy was originally slated to be the backup outside linebacker, but he was moved to backup inside 'backer, a position that requires a lot more leadership since the middle 'backer has to call defensive plays in the huddle and call out offensive formations . . .
and anonymous, the St Pete Times can suck my balls

I just visited The Stonegauge, and I like your site.
What kind of blogging software are you using? I've noticed other blogs have the same interface as yours.
I know this is very late... but I thought the exact same thing.

Nice site, cute kids, they look like a handful.
Always good to have another fantasy football buff around.
