Factoid of the Week That May Interest Only Me

The Chargers' director of player personnel in 1998 was Billy Devaney, and he was part of the group that scouted and drafted the ill-fated Ryan Leaf number two overall for San Diego.

Devaney is now the general manager of the Rams. Last spring he drafted quarterback Keith Null from West Texas A&M in the sixth round. Because of injuries to Marc Bulger and Kyle Boller, Null started his first NFL game Sunday at Tennessee.

Null's position coach at West Texas A&M: Ryan Leaf.

Last spring, Devaney, who will be forever linked with Leaf, left the disastrously failed quarterback a voice message saying, "You did a great job with Keith Null.''

Null probably wishes he could void his first NFL start. Five interceptions, lots of 10-inch-gain dump-offs.

Padres TV Guy’s Gig Hijacked By Team, Enberg

Sports by Brooks:

"I can’t blame Enberg for wanting to remain active. But knowingly taking another man’s job, a man who is a competent broadcaster, was not the way to do that."

"We're trying to get Adrian Gonzalez right now, too."
