Answer Saturday! (Part 2)

Q: Yoda's Attorney said:
Monsieur Wolf, on behalf of my client (who shall remain anonymous for the purposes of this inquiry), I respectfully set forth a question:

Marc Tyler is Southern Cal's returning leading rusher. If Matthew Barkley or Robert Woods, the team's leading returning passer and receiver respectively, had been accused of the alleged potential crimes Tyler was (recall Tyler has admitted to one incident entirely), would you print at least one word about it?

I am attempting to establish precisely what constitutes a "newsworthy" story on this blog for my client's future reference.

To illustrate, let's say the next time a prominent member of the team is caught spitting onto, or inappropriately groping a women on campus, are you interested in this information, or should it be more appropriately reported to the L.A. Times or Le OC Register?

Although it appears you have recently tarnished your reputation of never dodging a reasonable question, I thank you in advance for your response, which is most eagerly anticipated and anxiously awaited.

Merci,

Yoda's Attorney

A: I've now addressed Tyler's situation three times on this blog. I mentioned I was out of town on assignment when the story first surfaced and I've written that he is currently awaiting word from student affairs about whether he will be allowed to return next fall. From what I've heard on campus, he should be able to come back but will face punishment from the university.

Scott,

Please look at the picture from the Swim with Mike 2011.

Who is this song girl is and what is her name? I saw photos of her at the Swim with Mike event this year, she is probably the prettiest song girl on the squad. Is she going to be on this year's squad? Thank you.

A: I do not know this song girl. But since she participated in Swim with Mike, she will be a song girl during the football season, so will get plenty of chances to admire her.

How ironic is it that one of the reasons given for Cheryl Cole being fired from The X Factor was that people did not understand what came out of her mouth yet Paula Abdul is embraced by America for the exact same reason? Have we underestimated the power of The Abdul?

A: I've never understood the appeal of Paula Abdul and I'd rather hear Cheryl Cole's Geordie accent 365 days a year than Abdul's crazy rants. Go figure!
