There is a  tiny article in the Seattle PI today reporting that WSU football player Andy Roof has been arrested and charged with 4th degree assault after Roof reportedly head butted a man who would not let Roof into a party in Pullman.  The article states that alcohol was involved.

This little piece would not have caused me much concern were it not for an article published less than a month ago by PI Sports columnist Jim Moore, the “go2guy.”  On April 4 Moore wrote a column entitled, “WSU’s Roof gets Serious, Sober.”  The article detailed how after 3 alcohol related arrests and being kicked out of WSU for fall semester of 2007, Roof had turned things around and was back at WSU, and back on the football team.  The piece was extremely positive and painted Roof as a comeback kid of sorts.  A guy who let drinking control his life for a while, but who has seen the error of his ways and was making the most of his second chance.

Guess what Ronaldo’s been doing back in Brazil?

• a) Re-habbing
• b) Looking for his next team
• c) Spending time with his wife & son 
• d) Boy-girls!

If you guessed d) - you’re right! Nothing like a little Sunday night hook-job action in Rio.

I’m on record as a Brad Wilkerson hater. I don’t care much for Turbo Vidro or Richie Sexson either. Needless to say recent rumblings that at least Wilkerson and Vidro are playing for their jobs comes as more than welcome. Something’s about to go down.

Jeff Clement is on his way up.
