Michael David Smith of PRO FOOTBALL TALK has a nugget from the NASHVILLE TENNESSEAN which sums up the acumen of football *fans* north of Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles.

Vince Young, who is back in school at Texas (we’re sure his mom had nothing to do with that) , on how he has been received by classmates: “The kids, they’re shocked. One day I walk into class to a standing ovation and my teacher — she’s from UCLA — she was like ‘What’s going on?’ I guess she thought the applause was for her … The kids have been giving me a lot of love. Some kids are like, ‘Why are you back? You’ve got all this money.’ That’s not what I’m shooting for. I want to get my degree.”

Having lived in Lipstick City for eight years, that reax is right-on when it comes to UCLAers. Why do you think Dan Guerrero had no choice but to hire a two-time loser as head football coach?

PATS JABS JUST LATEST FOR ROARING TWENTIES REPORTER: By now, most folks are aware of a 1920s reporter sneaking in to the Patriots’ press coference after they carved up the Cowboys. The man in a Walter Winchell voice questioned both coach and star QB in his own unique & antique way:

Bill Belichick responded to the quaint quizzing with a stern “Next.” But at least Tom Brady got a good laugh and flashed his million-dollar smile in amusement.

The man behind the mirth is Tom Gribble, a producer for the “BaD Show” on KTCK radio in Dallas. He often infiltrates press conferences and speaks to the sports stars under the persona of Scoops Callahan, a talker transplanted from the times of prohibition and speakeasies.

His braggadocio with Belichick & Brady is just the latest of Callahan’s football tomfoolery.

Vince Young got a taste of the ’20s back in his Texas time:

While his coach Mack Brown took Scoops’ silly serenade all in stride, answering the corny question like he would to any other reporter:

But it’s not just the turf titans he terrorizes. Here he is confusing NHL wunderkind Sidney Crosby:

It would be fun to see Scoops in a sit-down interview with Lou Holtz, so the ex-coach and ESPN analyst would finally have someone he can relate to.
