Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHere is a new wrinkle in the Oregon story from earlier, the benched quarterback and the two-loss Ducks: defender Bear Alexander is accused of a dirty hit on UCLA quarterback Nico Iamaleava's head on Saturday, according to Breitbart.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentAccused. That's the word in the summary, and it's the only word we get.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWhich is why I am crowning him tonight's Animal of the Day, on the strength of his first name alone.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHe's a person, Chip.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorCareer stat line: one hundred percent bear, zero percent honey, and a heart this big. I get emotional, because a bear hug is just a tackle that loves you.
