Today on VSR –
We’ll unveil our latest NFL mock draft, We’ll preview tonight’s Ferris State vs. Boston College NCAA Hockey Championship Game, Manny Pacquiao…Hero or Villain? We’ll discuss. And of course, with baseball season underway, it’s time to talk 30 team league fantasy baseball…and if you actually believe we’re doing any of that, you have fallen for a 6 day belated April Fools joke. Come on, you didn’t REALLY believe I was going to do all that, did you?
We will however kick around the idea of a dead pool, we’ll talk Nike Uniforms, I have a Magnificent 7 list of memorable moments from Road Trip 2012, and we have a whole new edition of “Something to think about” in the holster as well, should we need it.

TWIN FALLS, Idaho (AP) – Small tip for criminals, If you’re going to give the cops a fake last name, be sure that your real last name isn’t tattooed on your arm. A 19-year-old Idaho man with his last name tattooed on his forearm was arrested after he tried unsuccessfully tried to give police a fake name, but was foiled by his tats.
19-year-old Dylan Edward Contreras was arrested early Saturday on outstanding warrants because his tattoos gave him away. The arresting officer reports that he told three men who were walking on the street with a dog to move to the sidewalk. One of them men appeared like he was getting ready to run away, so the officer asked for identification.
Contreras identified himself as Emiliano Velesco, but gave the cop his actual birth date. A police database search found no matches for a Velesco. However, the officer had a dispatcher run a check with the birthday he was given and the last name tattooed on Contreras’s forearm.
Bam! Contreras was arrested as the search quickly revealed that Contreras had three warrants for “failure to appear” charges and now he has added a new charge of providing false information to police.
CANBERRA, Australia – Australian Pilot Braden Blennerhassett saw a snake's head pop out from under the dashboard of his twin-engine plane shortly after takeoff from Darwin airport on Tuesday.
Blennerhassett’s heart raced as he tried to keep his hands still while maneuvering the plane back to the northern city of Darwin. The snake popped its head out from behind the instrument panel several times, and then the ordeal worsened when the animal crawled across his leg during the approach to the airport.
He was told to return to Darwin and a snake handler was organised to meet Mr Blennerhassett, but the reptile was never found.
The snake is suspected to have been a golden tree snake, a non-venomous species that can grow up to 5 feet in length.
Vertically Striped Radio has been able to obtain exclusive audio taken from the flight during the harrowing return to the airport. (Clip 20) We want to caution you, however, as the language used in this clip may be too strong for immature audiences.
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- An information technology worker in Iowa has surrendered to police on a very unusual charge.
59-year-old Raymond Foley turned himself in Saturday to face a charge of second-degree criminal mischief. His crime? Urinating on the chairs of his co-workers.
Police say co-workers had complained about unusual stains appearing on their chairs. A security system was installed, and police say it caught Foley in the act.
Police documents say Foley looked up employee photos in the agency database and then would go into the office during off hours and relieve himself on their chairs.
Foley declined to comment to The Associated Press on Tuesday, other than to acknowledge that he, in fact, no longer works at the Farm Bureau office in West Des Moines.
The chair damage was estimated at $4,500.

The Champion Dog – A 26 Dollar Hot Dog at Arlington Stadium
Team president Nolan Ryan did not mince words with ESPN Radio in Dallas regarding the Texas Rangers' most recent acquisition — a two-foot-long, one-pound gourmet hot dog that feeds three or four fans and costs $26:
"It has to be a tremendous wiener. And then we're getting some kind of exotic bread flown in from France. And I don't know what kind of condiments you put on that. But I do want to look at it.
"That's a wild dog."
Holy StrasBurgers! Everything really is bigger in Texas. A result of the work of Rangers Ballpark chef Cristobal Vasquez, the dog is a Coney Island-style wiener that will be topped with shredded cheese, chili and sauteed onions. Not to mention the bun, apparently made of "exotic bread flown in from France" — which might be the most Nolan Ryan thing that Nolan Ryan has ever said.
