NFC Offensive Player of the Week is one of Chicago Norm's guys

homersimpson.jpgMichael Turner, Homer Simpson, Fritz Peterson and Chicago Norm have something in common.

The other three of these Northern Illinois U. products are not surprised that Burner Turner ran for 220 yards for the Falcons against the Lions on Sunday. We knew that all he needed was the be released from the shackles of being LaDainian Tomlinson's backup in San Diego.

What the heck is he talking about, you ask? And don't bore us with Michael Turner's NIU stats.

Well, Fritz Peterson starred at NIU and later became my bowling instructor (great story if you hadn't seen it before) before swapping families with Mike Kekich.

And Homer? Well, he's voiced by Dan Castellaneta, another NIU grad. I guess that also makes Krusty the Clown one of ours, too.
