I think there's a Chris de Burgh song about this...via lyltfans.com
Good morning, folks. It's once again the Monday morning of a standard five-day work week, and I think the weather cooperated very nicely with the standard Monday morning mantra of suck. I was going to start the week off by offering a fare-thee-well to Etta James, whose death was somewhat overshadowed this weekend with the passing of Joe Paterno, but instead, I'm going to celebrate life...particularly, the life of Dutzen Kroes, Dutch supermodel who turns 27 today. So, without further ado, Happy Birthday, Doutzen! You're pretty. More links after the jump...
Shockingly, the Red & Black is actually defending the football team in an article about Sanders Commings. Whatever gets page views, I guess. (h/t Blutarsky)
Seth Emerson has some quotes from Mark Richt and Vince Dooley on Joe Paterno. Regardless of your thoughts on the Sandusky stuff, college football definitely lost a pillar of the sport in JoePa.
In case you missed it (or don't follow NFL football), it's a Giants/Patriots rematch for the Super Bowl. Yes, the rematch meme is already played out, and it's only day one. Get ready for two weeks of hype, folks.
The Good Senator has a post dissecting some of Bill Connelly's stats about receivers in the SEC. Well done, Malcolm Mitchell and Orson Charles!
Finally, we have your random news story piece of the day, coming from the ever-metropolitan Sylvania Telephone. The story's actually about a month old, but the humor remains.
Keep in mind, National Signing Day is Wednesday, and Dawg Sports will be covering the event throughout the week, so continue to check back for stories and updates, and, as always...
Go Dawgs!

Nice choice of birthday greeting...
… though I’ll choose another attractive lady who is at least partially American by blood:
And it’s worth noting that it’s an American hero’s birthday, as well:

Also ...
West Side Story’s original Anita and Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, Chita Rivera. (inspired by the Doutzen observation, but I went another way)

Never been a huge recruiting follower
but this year does look to be shaping up interestingly with what I suspect will be many last week announcements for UGA’s class.

You know, the thing about the pickle story...
is that pickles are like gold down there. To sacrifice your pickle (a Vlasic at that!) for the cause of proving how angry you are to your significant other is quite impressive, and indicates significant anger and selflessness.

Nice find
on the Telegraph story. I always enjoy catching up on the bid’ness and occasional news out of Screven County.
(Just some advice: Vlassic pickles are mighty fine and can be used as a weapon in a pinch. Never, ever bring a Clausen (sic) to a knife fight.)

I know some folks who would find that funny over at Cat Scratch Reader

Let's make a deal...
You send some of the Panther’s bloggers our way (hits!) and we’ll keep sending Georgia players to Charlotte (bigger hits!)

That pickle story is better researched than any AJC story due to one line
“An investigation by the newspaper staff and sheriff’s office discovered the pickle is a cucumber, which is a fruit and not a vegetable.”
