Follow-Ups

For those of you who are regular readers of this site, I have a number of follow-ups:

Less than a week after I mocked the murderer on Death Row who promised to work his magic on the Browns, the Browns end up with both Joe Thomas and Brady Quinn, two prospects projected as top 5 picks. Maybe deceased felons have more power than we all thought?

Joe Francis, the man behind the critically acclaimed "Girls Gone Wild" documentaries has been sentenced to 35 days in jail. I really hope he doesn't make any more of those films from jail. I don't want to see "Guys Gone Wild: Dropped Soap Edition."

Sheryl Crow has stated emphatically that she "was just kidding" about the whole toilet paper limit thing.

I didn't mention this when it happened, but I'm calling on a boycott of the website deadspin.com. I also call on you all to no longer use the phrase " dead to me," but instead substitute deadspin.com in there. For example say "Melinda is deadspin.com to me." And what's the reason for this boycott? Plagiarism. Here is an excerpt from his blog that was passed off as "original:"

Personally, we wish they could have sneaked a "Clarett" in there... we would like to see a Lions fans name their girl "Millen Mornhinweg."

Funny, right? Too bad both of those jokes were stolen from me. The title of my post had Clarett in it, and I said I was going to name my kid Morhningweg Fontes. And nowhere is there a link or an acknowledgment of my entry. And his post was put up 10 minutes after mine.

(If you don't believe me, first check out my post, and then read Will Leitch's plagiarized one. Will Leitch, you are so deadspin.com to me
