I'm sure you need another person telling you to go read the Seattle Times' entertaining (and infuriating) evisceration of the turn of the millennium Washington Huskies, but that's what I'm going to do. Read it.
It's long and the tale of Jerramy Stevens is pretty sad and disgusting but in that entertaining, can't stop reading sort of way. Amidst all the rape and drinking there is, however, some humor courtesy of Steven's teammate/roommate. When asked by a Seattle detective if he thought Stevens had indeed raped a UW student, the roommate said he did not and offered the following as his defense (emphasis mine):
"Well...he's my best friend. I hang out with champions."
I'd call it the line of the year if it wasn't seven-plus years old so I'll just call it what is, the line of the millennium thus far. So many possibilities.
Once you get past that line, however, the hatred for Stevens bubbles up pretty quickly again so, to recap: read the article, hate Jerramy Stevens, laugh for a second and use "I hang out with champions" all the time from now on, get back to hating Jerramy Stevens and then wonder what ever happened to the Huskies football program.

Great article. I remember how great that guy was at UW and then drafted so high for the Seahawks. Before that Super Bowl when I think he 'might' have been paid off to drop a few, I always wondered about that dude. He has too much talent to be less than a starting TE on a good team.
But wait, there's more. In chapter 2 of the UW saga you can read how linebacker Jeremiah Pharms used to piss himself as a form of intimidation. It's true:
