Online Now: Brodie Croyle

Yeah, every celebrity out there has a MySpace page that’s surely not created by them. Take this page for Brodie Croyle, the recently christened starting QB for the Chiefs. There’s more than a couple clues that Croyle didn’t create it, like indicating that his salary is “$250,000 and Higher.” Another oddity is that his MySpace blog asks people to write cutlines on a couple mildly funny photos — and 257 people have logged their ideas and “kudos.”

The page’s creator — if it wasn’t Croyle — does know something about him. Take, for instance, the fact that it lists his major at University of Alabama correctly as “Human Environmental Sciences.” And the page correctly lists his “hero” as his dad John Croyle.

Real or not, 23,709 people still thought it was worth their time to be one of his MySpace friends. And since November 6, 2005, 11,151 people have left Croyle a message on that page. Most of them are ‘Bama fans, like Tyler, who posted:

“hey Brodie hows it been i watch the game yall arent that bad and u should b starting QB im tyler i made all county in high school im a jionor”

With Croyle expected to start this weekend, it looks like Tyler the “jionor” has gotten his wish. — Eric Barton
