Happy Birthday to the following people. If any of you are dead now & I missed the news, I apologize. I'm trying to be nice here...
Happy 25th to JaMarcus Russell. Just remember, J-Russ, Canadian League football did wonders for than munchkin, Dougie Flutie's resume. Give it a go. You'd look fly in a Toronto Argonauts jersey!
Happy 55th to ex-Super Bowl hero, Redskins QB, Doug Williams.

Happy 47th to Whitney Houston. Hopefully life has taken a turn for the better after ditching that asshat from Boston, Bobby Brown. Man, outside of myself, guys from Beantown aren't easy to live with, so they say.
