At least one, League of Legends, is. And varsity, at that. At least at one private university, Robert Morris, in Chicago. Why, they’re even offering scholarships.
Which I found Googling the title question after seeing it posed for an essay in Mr. B.’s high school English class. And I thought he’d been wasting his time all these months. ‘Course he is playing Call of Duty, which is not on the team. Yet.

Miriam of Miriam’s Ideas worries about this because of a family connection:
“One of my relatives who travels extensively has not bought soap in 20 years. Apparently the complimentary soaps he takes from hotel rooms fulfill the sanitary needs of his entire family.”
It’s a common behavior, apparently, since her post has drawn scores of hits, including mine. I always swiped the soaps when I traveled but I’d prefer to buy soaps than travel

The new “giant” iPhone6 (5.5-inch diagonal screen) is cool, but it’s the watch I’d consider. Looks much prettier than anything Dick Tracey would have been caught dead with, but if it does the same (or similar) job, who could complain?
“Apple’s smartwatch is pretty cool and runs differently than its competitors. The digital crown control (a dial like you’d find on a traditional watch) is smart, and maneuvers such as navigating to apps on the watch and changing the color of watch face a snap. Apple Watch has a touchscreen, but you don’t need it for a lot of things.”
I saw another brand on the AC repairman the other day at the rancho. He said it helped him stay in touch with the office without continually having to retrieve the smart phone from his pocket.
I leave my phone in the car anyhow so the watch might not be that useful to me. No office to report to for us recovering journalists. Now if Mr. B. (who said he’d never heard of Dick Tracey) wants one for his birthday round about Valentine’s (despite the fact it would be harder to text with it), we’ll know for sure.

Casey is a running back in something called the Lingerie Football League in Canada, an excuse to watch voluptuous young women run around in costumes skimpy enough to make a Dallas Cowboys’ cheerleader blush.
Casey fills her’s out quite nicely in the video at the link. She also might be able to help the Texas Longhorns gain some yardage on UCLA on Saturday by distracting them from their business. At least she’d be easy on the eyes.
