The Pope and the Bear Hunters

Posted on Written by

The new Pope took a couple of days off to visit Alaska after the spring thaw. He was cruising along in the PopeMobile when there was a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods. A helpless Democrat, wearing sandals, shorts, a “Save the Whales” / “Bush Lied” T-shirt and a tree-hugger hat, was screaming while struggling frantically, thrashing around trying to free himself from the jaws of a 10-foot grizzly.

The Redhead Debuts

Posted on Written by

As of today, The Nittany Turkey is adding a new editorial writer to its fine stable of authors. This addition will increase the total number of authors to two.

It is my hope that the perspectives of this blog will be significantly broadened as The Redhead rants about life in general, the arts, and anything else she feels like writing about. ?????? ??? ????????

She’ll leave the football writing to me, though. ????? ???? ????

I welcome her to the blog, and I look forward to reading her rants.

Courtney Loves Denver

Posted on Written by

Yesterday, I wrote about LaVar Arrington’s departure from the Washington Redskins. Today’s story concerns his Nittany Lion teammate, Courtney Brown, who will be remaining with the Denver Broncos for a long time.

The Denver Post reported today that Brown, 28, and the Broncos had agreed to a contract extension that will keep him in Denver through the 2009 season. While Courtney’s salary is a big hit against the NFL salary cap for the Broncos, his 2005 performance inspired Denver management to protect him.

Prior to moving to the Broncos, Brown had languished with the Cleveland Browns, who drafted him #1 overall in 2000. (Arrington was drafted #2 overall by the Redskins in that same year.) Courtney never had a healthy season in his five years with the Browns. However, as of his 2005 season with Denver, he has finally blossomed into the defensive lineman that every Penn State fan knew he could be.
