Sam Keller must hate the world. I just read over at College Gridiron 365 that he is suing EA Sports and the NCAA, alleging that EA Sports wrongly uses the names and likenesses of college athletes in its products and that the NCAA sanctions the practice.
I'm not saying his suit doesn't have merit. We all know that QB No. 15 in the Florida Gators uniform is Tim Tebow. It's also nice that the graphic guys make him look a lot like Tebow also. He's also the same height and weight and his rated attributes seem to fit just nicely with the two-time national champ.
But why Sam Keller? Why now?
The former Arizona State and Nebraska quarterback hasn't played college football since 2007. Since he hasn't hooked up with any NFL teams and he was last cut by the in-remission Arena League, looks like Keller needed to find a way to make some cash.
He just may do it. I don't think he'll win in court, but EA and NCAA may just settle this mess out of court so they can both move forward with this huge money maker.
But this feels even more like sour grapes. Was he pissed how he was portrayed in the game? Does he think anyone really wanted him as their starting quarterback when they played the game?
Let this one go. Don't mess up the only video game I really like.

he's trying to ruin my life and my new Xbox 360, that's what he's doing.
I may buy the Xbox 360 and name the QB from Nebraska and Arizona State Sam Keller every year.
