UM: Football

The Wall Street Journal publishes a profile by Ann Arbor sports writer and Chronicle columnist John U. Bacon, who writes about former UM punter Zoltan Mesko. Mesko, now playing for the NFL’s New England Patriots, notes that his parents still aren’t used to his paycheck: “When I went home in July, my parents were slipping me 60 bucks to go out. I was like, ‘Come on, why are you doing this?’ They were mesmerized when I paid for dinner.” [Source]
