re: More Alem

Completely agree.

Saw him on Bourbon Street after the Championship game. Nice guy, but as the look of one bad dog, literally.

He had a dog collar around his neck, no shirt on and was dancing in the middle of the street.

He's got this look in his eyes, like 'ol Mike Singletary. Tremendous future and with a little more work, he's gonna be a name you'll hear called a lot.

And about the name, from LSUSports.net...
Full name is Rahim Akil Alem ... Legally changed his name during the spring of 2006 ... His new name is part Swahili, part Arabic and has nothing to do with a religious conversion, but his African heritage ... Rahim means kind, compassionate and merciful; Akil means intelligent; and Alem means leader ... Given name was Alfred Marvin Jones, Jr.

Not that it matters, but I've got no problem with the name. However, I prefer to call him a bad, mutha f@#&er.
