The Angels players doused the jersey of late teammate Nick Adenhart in beer and champagne as they celebrated winning the AL West title in the locker room Monday night.

Surely the ball players were honoring Adenhart, but many critics and bloggers are enraged because alcohol is the very reason why Adenhart is no longer with the team: He was killed by an alleged drunk driver in April.

We’re taking the side of the Angels. They’re paying tribute to the player who has served as their motivation since the first month of the season. Now they’re in the playoffs and they’ve got Adenhart to thank for being with them, even spiritually, for the past several months.

What this team did was not wrong in any form. They may have soaked the young man’s jersey, but it served as a decoy to take you away from the tears that most likely soaked many cheeks that night. This season is for Nick, and we couldn’t respect that more.

Your girlfriend decided to leave you, come back, then leave you again. THEN you find out she cheated on some dude in New York last year and another in Minnesota this year.

That’s an indecisive broad.

Texas Tech football players are no longer allowed to Tweet, Twat, Toot, Twang or whatever the current past-tense term is for using the social networking site Twitter.com.

This comes after the indefinite suspension of star-lineman Brandon Carter.

“I am not a captain anymore and will not be playing this week,” the tweet read. “Good luck red raiders ill still be cheering on my family from the stands!!:).”

Also, senior linebacker Marlon Williams had a post on his Twitter account on Sunday calling out Leach for being late to a meeting.

Both accounts no longer are active.

Well, one thing is for certain: Now we know Carter has the Internet in the dark and damp cave he lives in.
