Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Remember this guy....

http://www.revengeofthebirds.com/2009/1/16/725395/arizona-cardinals-taking-a

Cameron Wake, formerly known as Derek Wake.  Apparently he's been wreaking havoc in the CFL and a few NFL teams are giving him a look.  I'm glad to see that's he's doing great up north, would like to see him get another shot at the NFL.  This guy was a beast when he was on the field for Penn State.

Best of luck to him

I wonder what prompted the name change

Oh and question

how in the world did you unearth this?

I mean first off, what were you doing on a Cardinals blog? My theory, you are an Eagles fan and you were doing some “research” over on their boards for the upcoming game.

But then to see something about a guy named Cameron Wake, and making the connection to Derek Wake? Again, my theory: the post originally talked about not knowing where the guy played in college, and either you knew Derek’s middle name was Cameron, or you just did a google search and found it out through there.

Anyway, still pretty obscure :-p

Yep

You are correct, sir. I’m an Eagles fan and was roaming around their site to see what’s up. I actually stumbled upon the Cameron Wake story by accident, noticing that they mentioned Penn State as I was scrolling through the stories. I had no idea it was actually Derek Wake until I googled it.

Once upon a time

There was actually some give and take with that blog here over Morelli trying to make the practice squad. I bet his readership increased a bit in the past two weeks. Good for him, seemed like a nice guy. Eagles are gonna kill ‘em, but hey that’s life.

Not a big secret

Penn Stater alumni magazine had a blurb about his CFL success & name change. Had something to do with a family issue and wanting to identify with a different side of his family (maybe?). I’m sure someone can either find the article or fill in the details.

Speaking of the Arizona Cardinals

Is AmMo still on their roster?

If so, has anyone considered, that, come February Second, ANTHONY MORELLI MIGHT BE WEARING A “SUPER BOWL XLIII CHAMPION” ring?

:-O

I don’t want to live in that world.

He's not

He got cut a while back.

Morelli

I hope that degree in recreational park management is serving him well.

Rumor has it

he is lying about his age and reliving his glory years by entering Punt, Pass, and Kick Competitions

To the NFL!

Looks like Wake has found himself a “home in the NFL”!http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/story/860982.html. And if Parcells sees something in him, you know Wake has been doing something right.

(Article notes that the ’Phins have also signed Ethan Kilmer.)
