[NU Sports] Patrick Ward to...

[Roy Lamberton]

I found it mildly amusing that the Ill-whine-I fans were putting down Ward for
wanting to both play football, and go to a top notch academic institution.

Anyone who thinks that you cannot play at the top Div I level AND achieve
academic success only need to call the Chargers, and ask for Mr. Castillo or the
Browns and ask for Mr. Wright.

I know there are many, many more, but those are the two that pop into my mind
this Monday morning.
