EA is giving Devin Hester a 100 speed rating in Madden 2008, the first ever perfect rating for a player.

Houston Nutt’s phone records make him even shadier. Arky fans are nuts, pun intended.

Here are some pictures from the Spring Game this past Saturday, including some pretty cool shots of the new construction on the north end. Thanks Brady and Katie for the pictures.

Ah oh… Rumor has it that our old friend Reggie Bush has been banned from the Playboy Mansion according to Scott Wolf at Inside USC:

Our spies tell us former USC tailback Reggie Bush is persona non grata at the Playboy Mansion because of a conduct violation. And no, it was nothing involving a Playmate.

So if it wasn’t something inappropriate with a Playmate, what was it? Did he hit one one of Hef’s girlfriends? Or maybe he took a leak in the grotto hot tub. You’ve got to be pretty darn sleazy to be booted from the Playboy Mansion.

Coach Eddie Robinson dead at 88. The great man led Grambling for 57 years and put over 200 players into the NFL.

Video up on YouTube of the entire Texas Orange-White scrimmage/spring game. Much better way to watch the game than that terrible FSN production we sat through on Saturday. No missed plays, no fluff, just every single play in 18+ minutes. Check it out below:

Thanks to YouTube user and Orangebloods member KeriCarter for the great video.

Colt McCoy is Rivals.com’s seventh best QB. Not sure I’d put Ainge ahead of him.

Texas commit D.J. Monroe is Houston Chronicle athlete of the week. The corner ran a blazing 10.5 100-meter dash.

Three former Longhorns will be featured as Todd McFarlane “Football Action Figures” in 2007.

Vince Young and Cedric Benson will be part of NFL Football Series 15 that will be released in September. Texas legend Earl Campbell’s figure will be released in August as a part of NFL Legends Series 3. Earl is looking pretty good in those old baby blue Houston Oilers uniforms.

The figures are six inches tall and look pretty good in photos. They’re only about $9.99 in stores so hopefully they look as good in person. (via)

Former Horns impress scouts at the Texas pro day. Longhorns could have four guys taken in first two rounds.
