Karl Malone's years-long quest to find Something Else To Do took a 360-degree turn recently when he announced that he wanted to be governor.

Of two states.

It seems like only yesterday that our Karl was going to be a trucker. And a hunting guide, bodybuilder, cop, pilot, actor, radio host, wrestler, car salesman and Olympic torchbearer. Now he thinks it would be kick to be a governor.

First, he said he was considering a run for the Utah governor's job. Then later came reports that he was eyeing the same job in Arkansas, where he owns a ranch, next door to his home state of Louisiana. We're still awaiting word on the governor's positions in Alaska and Idaho, where he also owns property, and Nebraska, where he once had a cup of coffee.

Exactly why a great fade-away jump shot qualifies someone to lead a state is still unclear, but this is America, and if a pro wrestler and certifiable nut bag like Jesse Ventura can do it, then anyone can.

"It do interest me," Karl said. "It really do."
