Hoag gets (almost) naked, McGivern comes clean

Really, where do I start here?

Apparently former Gustavus football player Ryan Hoag is still seeking the spotlight. He was Mr. Irrelevant in the 2003 NFL draft, but has been released nine different times — often in the final cuts of the preseason. He gained further notoriety by an interesting/revealing/embarrassing stint on The Bachelorette last year, both during the show and in the reunion wrap-up. Yes, I watched them all. Here's a quick recap, for those who are unfamiliar.

But how do you explain live almost-nude modeling in the Mall of America? I'm not sure I can, but I wish him the best, I guess.

Before anyone accuses me of trying to embarrass Hoag, understand that he posted these pictures on the internet himself. I'm assuming that means he's proud of his work, even if others — like myself, a former teammate — get a good laugh at his expense.

Minnesota Wrap
(Should I just rename this Tommie Time? This is getting ridiculous.)
• St. Thomas is the subject of a nice piece on KSTP. Who's the kid in tights? It's an...interesting look.
• Gene McGivern finally comes clean after being called out by the Strib.
