Thoughts on University of Kentucky Athletics, the textbook industry, and the ridiculousness of American politics.

Hefty Lefty Gets Super-Sized

I could care less about Tom Brady's foot, the Scruples that live in Bill Belichick's sweatshirt, or the half time show of the Super Bowl (unless there will be some Janet Jackson type stuff going on). However, I am very thrilled about Jared Lorenzen being in the Super Bowl. You may know Jared as the former U.K. quarterback and the guy in the Subway commercials. What many people don't know, however, is that J-Load's physical stature is commensurate with his reputation in the Big Apple.

Jared Lorenzen has become a fixture in the Broadway theather scene, doing cameos in Broadway hits such as Rent and The Lion King. Jared also enjoys the New York restuarant scene, and his deft palette has earned him a renowned culinary reputation. Mix in the rapier's wit and funloving personality of Mr. Lorenzen, and you basically have a Big Apple media darling.

Lorenzen's success has begun to filter back to the Bluegrass, as many now consider him to be the living embodiment of the commonwealth. From his childhood days in Edgewood, to his college days in Lexington and on to the Big Apple, Jared has taught us how to shake it with that Kentucky since of swagger.

So here's to the Big Guy in the Super Bowl. Good luck Jared!
