MIAMI

The Miami Dolphins just selected Ted Ginn, Jr. , a dude who was knocked out of the BCS title game by an end-zone celebration. Then again, he did return the opening kickoff for a TD, which is what they "paid" him to do at Ohio State.

The story of this afternoon is "As Brady Slides"....

Before the last pick ESPN showed a graphic of the comely blonde woman seated next to Brady that read "Lindy Slinger, Brady Quinn's girlfriend". If BQQB doesn't get selected in the next hour, it's going to say "Brady Quinn's Ex-Girlfriend".

In related news, "Guest List" Markazi informs me that highly prized USC Song Girl Natalie Nelson , a friend of this site, recently got engaged to Trojan offensive lineman Ryan Kalil . Natalie used to date 'SC linebacker Dallas Sartz , who's prettier, but he doesn't have Kalil's potential first-round talent.

Guest List and I are thrilled that they're serving foot-long hot dogs in the media dining room downstairs. I've asked him how much he'll pay me if I eat my height in wieners this afternoon. "Some amount less than Mitch Cozad's signing bonus," he replies.

Ahhh, Cozad. Who knew he'd be good for so many yuks?
