At least WSU isn't the only school with former quarterback problems

Move over Ryan Leaf, there's another former college quarterback great making his school proud.

Timmy Chang, former star quarterback at the University of Hawaii and recently released professional journeyman, was arrested Thursday in Mililani, Hawaii, and is being investigated for robbery for his role in a brawl that took place back on June 1st. A 23-year-old woman told police she was filming the melee when Chang, 27, approached her and told her to stop. A struggle ensued, he grabbed her camera and then "threw it on the roof of a nearby building".

Did Chang learn anything from the pros? Most football players worth their salt would have kidnapped the woman and taken her to IHOP where they would have paid her off with the money the earned from holding the place up with the pistol they owned (legally). That is if they didn't shoot themselves in the leg in the process.

I don't really fault Chang, it's a minor incident since fights do occasionally break out at parties from time to time (Wonders of wonders!). I do wonder what the woman was thinking, if she valued her property, the best thing to do would not be filming a brawl.

People tend to get testy about that sort of thing.

How to know if the restaurant you're at is cheap

Apparently IHOP has started to charge 50 cents for a cup of water, signaling the downfall of human civilization.

Here are more signs that the restaurant you're eating at is cheap as hell.

1. That napkin dispenser requires a quarter before you can use them.

2. Your french toast is served on the table without a plate. That's an extra two dollars for the handling fee.

3. You can choose between the "vermin" and "cockroach" section.

4. Your french toast looks strangely like a bunch of McDonalds fries with syrup on it.

5. The menus are actually scribbled drawings on napkins.

6. The only special is the prime rib for your first born.

7. You have to tip the waitress by putting a dollar bill in her thong.

8. The restrooms are spotless because they know you'll be using it after the meal.

9. If it's your birthday, instead of singing you a song, they charge you double.

10. Adam Morrison is working there.

Carlos Silva's diet

There's already quite a bit of buzz around the Seattle Mariner's 5-2 start this season, however I need to say two things: it's very early in the season and you have Carlos Silva in your starting rotation. If there were ever a bigger turd of a pitcher in baseball, I'm pretty sure it would be something a dinosaur crapped out. Not convinced about his girth? This is what this man eats before he goes to the ballpark.

9:00 a.m. - Left side of the menu at IHOP
11:00 a.m. - A goat (cursed of course)
12:00 p.m. - A BK Quad combined with a small child.
3 p.m. - Whoops, better get to the stadium, where are those garlic fries?
4 p.m. - Roughly fourty pounds of Slim Jims
6 p.m. - Ryan Rowland-Smith
7 p.m. - Time to waddle out to the mound.

However, I will give the Mariners this, Erik Bedard's pitching performance against the A's in a 1-0 win to sweep Oakland was pretty impressive. Although I'm not really sure about the lineup that the A's are sporting. The AL West is not going to be a great division this year, so if the Mariners do overachieve they could be right in the thick of things.

Now lets move on to big boy baseball...

If you want to see how the Boston Media is handling the slow start for the Red Sox, well go to bostondirtdogs.com and when looking for the score of yesterday's game, you'll see it under Anaheim 5, Last Place Team 4.

Oh brother. And the Sox just put shortstop Jed Lowrie on the disabled list with a wrist injury. He could be out for a long time. He's to be replaced with Nick Green - who has a lifetime batting average of .240 and 10 career home runs (and use to play for the Yankees). Boston.com is saying that once Julio Lugo recovers from his knee surgery, he'll take over the full-time short-stop spot.

Now the team that the Mariners just swept (Oakland) will try to extend John Lester's slow start as he takes the mound tonight for Boston. Might have a late post about how that game ends up, because I'm actually really interested to see how the Sox do against a team that Seattle swept.

And A-Rod reported today to New York's spring training facility after having hip surgery on March 9. Word on the street is that they removed all mirrors from the place. ZING! I'll be here all night ladies and gentlemen.

And baseball has a steroid problem

I love how Major League Baseball has image problems because of performance enhancing drugs, and the NBA is apparently a thug league, while NFL players get to do this...

Petition claiming plaintiff was assaulted by defendants Davis and Bennett, who play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while a patron at defendant IHOP. Specifically, Davis became drunk and belligerent, addressed two female patrons as "sluts" and "whores," and yelled "where's my m*****f****** food?" Defendant Bennett then appeared in the parking lot and brandished a handgun to plaintiff and asked "is there a problem?"

Apparently they didn't like the pancakes.

Here the full story from Deadspin, this is one of those instances where you're like "really, an IHOP? What can happen next? Pacman Jones shoplifting the latest copy of Madden from GameStop."

I don't know why this isn't a bigger issue, but NFL players have the biggest problem with violence, by far. However, since we're obsessed with professional football, we like to look the other way.

On the bright side though, nobody shot themselves in the leg.
