Thursday Links

LJ: Here's a quick look at topics being discussed this week:

• Former ACC athletes in the NFL. Who knew Maryland would be tied for 3rd? Who didn't know Duke would be last? LINK
• Derek Jeter ties Lou Gehrigs' Yankee record for hits. Even as a Red Sox fan I begrudgingly admire Jeter. A pro's pro. LINK
• Dear NFL athletes: millions of dollars and world wide recognition and you settle for d-list reality TV trash or casino cocktail waitresses! Time to raise those standards. LINK-Merriman: LINK-Roethlisberger
• NFL Pergatory: Richard Seymour, yes playing in Oakland sucks. Yes, your old team cold-heartedly dealt you away. Yes, this is the NFL and teams are businesses. You signed on for this profession so take the good with the bad - it's in your contract. LINK
• Swine Flu wrecks shop in Oxford, MS: LINK
• Remember when Allen Iverson was that little guy awesomely dunking on people at Georgetown? Now he plays for the Grizzlies, and made the announcement via Twitter: LINK
