In an article by Greg Auman for the St Petersburg Times, Zak Boggs is looking to be USF's first Rhodes Scholar. If selected for the study program at Oxford University in England, Zak would be in the company of such folk as Bill Clinton, Kris Kristofferson (I kid you not), and Richard Danzig (no, not the rock band leader).

Now this is a bit dated being that it was filmed during last year's play off run, but that's OK because the post-season is so integral to this (late night, sleep deprived) post. The subject is a Wizards newbie but obviously a veteran of the K.C. sports scene.

Cresci com a ideia e convicção que do outro lado do Atlântico Norte, só existiam imperialistas e gente que lançava o mal por todo o mundo. Hoje espanto-me com o que vou lendo e ouvindo acerca de Obama um homem e político único e diferente do que já vimos em qualquer momento da nossa história comum.
