Can we give the Angels a fail? The ballclub won the AL West division title and, as customary, celebrated in a champagne shower. That's fine, but these alcoholic Angels might have crossed a line in their celebration -- they doused the jersey of former player Nick Adenhart in the stuff. Adenhart, a former starting pitcher and top prospect, was killed in April by a drunk driver. Classy move guys. I'm sure that's what a guy killed by a drunk driver needs more of -- alcohol.

Some other things important and not so important:

- Jake Delhomme continues to dominate...himself. That 54.3 passer rating through three games is just unsightly. Maybe the Panthers can bring Rodney Peete back. He's got nothing to do, just like the Carolina receivers.

- I love how ESPN can't get off the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry, even when the network openly admits the most recent series meant nothing. Hey, idiots, heed your own advice and leave well enough alone. There are other teams out there, y'know.

- I did OK in my fantasy hockey draft last week. Henrik Zetterberg was my first round pick. I like my defense but completely forgot Phil Kessel will miss the first month of the season. Oh well.

Video of the week: The Seahawks new lime-green jerseys. Some find them hideous, but you just can't take your eyes off of them.

The Roster

Mug

Dave Miniaci is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Daily Collegian's sports chief. He has previously been sports night chief and a sports copy editor. He has also covered men's rugby, men's track and field and field hockey. He is from New Jersey and is a big Devils fan and proud of both, and he doesn't care if you hold that against him.


Mug

Adam Clark is a senior majoring in journalism and is the Daily Collegian's sports editor. He previously covered fraternity and sorority life, crime and courts and was the Collegian's summer 2009 news/sports editor. His favorite athlete died on the last lap of the 2001 Daytona 500 and his favorite football team is coming off the worst six-year stretch in NFL history. He does hold it against Dave Miniaci that he's from New Jersey.


Mug

Dan Rorabaugh is a senior majoring in sports journalism and minoring in English. He is the sports copy desk chief, and was previously a reporter for the men's rugby, men's cross country, men's volleyball, women's soccer, women's basketball and men's lacrosse teams. Last year, the impossible dream happened - one of his favorite teams, the Phillies, won a championship. Now if only the Eagles could catch some of that magic, he might be able to actually find peace with sports.


Mug

Michael Oplinger is a junior majoring in media studies and political science and the Collegian's assistant sports copy desk chief. He previously covered the men's tennis and men's volleyball teams. Even though he enjoyed the Phillies' World Series victory, he misses the days of Jose Mesa and David Bell.


Mug

Eddie Gentile is a senior majoring in journalism and minoring in history. He works on the sports copy desk and previously has covered the women's tennis team, the Lady Icers and the Penn State baseball team. Gentile is your stereotypical Philly fan - he considers every game a loss until they actually win... and even then he'll probably still be moaning. Go birds.


Mug

David Rung is a senior majoring in journalism and minoring in kinesiology. He works on the sports copy desk and previously has covered the women's swimming team and the men's rugby team. Rung isn't as die hard about pro sports as his sports staff brethren from Philly and Pittsburgh, but he does take pride in being a Red Sox fan before the bandwagon started.
