What do you do after losing the Heisman?

If you’re Matt Leinart, you go to the Marquee night club on the West Side, get sloppy drunk, and grope some ladies… most likely uttering things like “I won the Heismann last year”, “I’m Matt Leinart, don’t you know me?” and “I’m kind of a big deal.”

Bruce Lee: the new international symbol for peace

Bruce The Bosnian city of Mostar erected a life-sized bronze statue of Bruce Lee, depicted in “a typical defensive fighting position”, as a symbol for the fight against ethnic division. A fantastic quote from the article: “We will always be Muslims, Serbs or Croats. But one thing we all have in common is Bruce Lee.” Amen to that.

This brings up one question. Why can’t Rocky Balboa be a symbol for multilateral cooperation among the world’s superpowers? I envision a statue erected at the U.N. building (why not the statue from Rocky III, hmm?), with a plaque commemorating his speech after defeating Ivan Drago.

It’s science. Rocky
Yo, Adrian, how ’bout some world peace?
