    <font color="#0000ff">TAMPA - Second-year quarterback Bruce Gradkowski's name has surfaced during a federal points-shaving investigation at his alma mater, Toledo, according to a report. </font></p>

    <font color="#0000ff">ESPN.com says investigators are reviewing his playing time in certain games in which the final scores and betting patterns raised suspicions. In some of the games, Gradkowski, a starter from 2003-05, was not at full strength because of injuries. </font></p>

    <font color="#0000ff">FBI agents have not spoken to Gradkowski, according to the story, and there is no indication he is a target of the investigation or that he might be charged. </font></p>

    <font color="#0000ff">ESPN.com quoted Gradkowski as saying: "I don't know what to say about that." </font></p>

    <font color="#0000ff">Gradkowski's agent, Ralph Cindrich, did not respond to inquiries from the Times on Wednesday, and Gradkowski could not be reached.</font> </p>

    Wow... I dunno what to say about that. Anyone know anyone who's ever even seen U. of Toledo play to know whether they did something weird with him? In any case, I doubt he could demand to go back in a game or something to affect the score if he's hurt. Seems strange to me. </p>
