Samp's exploits attracting media attention

It was only a matter of time before Chris Samp's cartoonishly amazing season started to get some notice from the media. There was a story printed today about Samp in the Winonan, a newspaper which is coincidentally based in Winona, MN, but also claims a large nationwide readership.

I am proud to say that this website was used as a reference for the article, though the author did use some of his own words too. Overall I enjoyed the article, but there were some topics that were conspicuous by their absence. For instance, is it possible that Samp is from the planet Krypton and the earth's yellow sun gives him special powers? If so, how does this affect his eligibility? Also, Samp's hordes of fans would have no doubt enjoyed some insight into his personal life. How many children does he have? How much can he bench? Is it true that he created the grand canyon by dragging his axe behind him for miles?

As more media outlets begin to take notice, I will be adding links on the side of this page. And after Samp accepts his Heisman Trophy, my next project is Tim Miller for Pulitzer Prize! Posted by mill1991 at October 20, 2004 8:37 AM | TrackBack

Now that Samp is getting national coverage, I believe he should take the inevitable next step superstar athletes take and run for public office...I know he could easily beat out Gene Pelowski or the challenger Nick Ridge...no doubt he would take Governors Doyle or Pawlenty...but I feel Samp's god-like talents would best be used as our Commander-In-Chief...Samp's track record speaks for itself...I mean the guy's got a reception that is nearly 3 times longer than any other human has ever done...just imagine the damage he could do in Iraq or Afghanistan...SAMP FOR PRES IN 2004

I would just like to extend my congratulations to Miller for finally getting the national recognition he deserves for his tireless work in digging up cold hard facts for his websites. This is like Charlton Heston receiving an Oscar for his work in The Ten Commandments forty years after its production. You know he deserved it; it just took the rest of the world a little while to come around. Did somebody say Pulitzer? Don't forget me, Miller.

I think that this site is great, and as a teammate of Samp's I found some of the nicknames that you have revealed hilarious. I would suggest to you to start a list of all of Samp's nicknames and allow people to suggest other nicknames that they have refered to him by, like the president of the warrior nation, and the mayor of touchdown city.
