Sonny Shackelford

The United Football League (aka JP Losman’s League) kicked off their inaugural season this week with a handful of local players dotting the rosters of the league’s four teams.

Former Washington wide receiver Sonny Shackelford is a starter for the California Redwoods. Shackelford played under Keith Gilbertson and Tyrone Willingham during his college career. He graduated in 2007.

In addition to Shackelford, ex-Husky defensive back Tony Parrish is a safety for the Las Vegas Locomotives. Parrish most recently played in the NFL in 2006 with Dallas, and had his best years with the San Francisco 49ers earlier in the decade. He was originally drafted by the Chicago Bears in the second round of the 1998 NFL Draft.

If you’ve watched any of the MLB playoffs on TBS, you’ve likely been sidelined by an overdose of Lopezitis.

TBS is pimping Lopez’s new late-night talk show as if it were a Tyler Perry spinoff, apparently making an attempt to tap into all the Dominicans and Venezuelans that are watching their family members play on TV. Little do they know that George Lopez is neither Dominican nor Venezuelan.

But even if he were, would it really matter? Who’s going to watch his show, TBS? Answer me that. You’ve got Letterman, Conan, Kimmel, and Lopez, not to mention reruns of Family Guy (Cartoon Network), late local news, Sportscenter, and probably some scrambled porn on the high-numbered channels somewhere. There are more people out there who would rather watch scribbly boobs than witness George Lopez kill comedy.
