Josh tips us off to the news that Ryan Hoag, the former Gustavus receiver who has bounced around several NFL organizations and was briefly on the Vikings’ roster in 2004, is one of this year’s candidates on “The Bachelorette.” ABC has a picture but only lists him as “Ryan” and as a “professional football player,” but this Google image of Hoag seems to be a match, while this site is identifying him by his full name. In case you don’t know, “The Bachelorette is a reality program about a bunch of handsome dudes, which means we’ve never seen it. The new season apparently premieres on May 19. In any event, Hoag’s previous claim to fame, aside from tearing up the MIAC, was being “Mr. Irrelevant,” the last player chosen in the 2003 NFL draft by the Oakland Raiders. Fans of “The Bachelor” might recall QB Jesse Palmer taking a stab at that show in its fifth season. Wait, did we just type “fans of ‘The Bachelor’?”
