Bulldogs: Ogletree arrested

This kid could be a quality NFL player and is a likely first round pick, but he makes me very uneasy. On the field he misses tackles and looks out of place too often. Off the field, crap like this keeps happening. If I was an NFL team, I'd be very wary. Remember Odell Thurman?

Wrestling: Sammartino

Bruno talks about going into WWE Hall of Fame in interview at Wrestling Inc. Apparently Triple H lobbied him hard to reconsider his refusal to be associated with the organization. A WWE Hall of Fame without Bruno was always a joke. He was the ultimate champ for the WWE for that era, much as Flair was for the NWA.
