There was an extremely bizarre item in last week’s Sports Illustrated about the very close friendship between University of Miami quarterback Brock Berlin and Scott Stapp, former frontman for the now-defunct Worst Band on Earth, Creed. The two men, separated in age by almost a decade, are so close, in fact, that Stapp recently moved to the Miami area to be closer to Berlin. Hmm. Are there jealousy issues related to the breakup of the pseudo-Christian band Creed that we don’t know about?
The story isn’t online but an SI on Campus version is, and it describes the two men as “best friends forever” (?), and reveals both that Stapp’s son calls Berlin “Uncle Brock,” and that it was Berlin’s mother who taught Stapp how to sing. Oh, so it’s HER fault.
Also in Sports Illustrated, a special appearance by Aaron Gleeman. The next day, I saw an “Everybody Loves Raymond” re-run in which Ray’s sportswriter character is plagued with feelings of inadequacy because his writings have never appeared in SI.

I think the former member of Creed wants to drink Brock's seed. And believe me Brock has some tasty eggnogg coming out of his hose.
hmmm Brockie, yummmy!!
