What is it about our part of Louisiana that makes us (of late) the hoax hotbed of the internet? The latest digital scam comes our way from the website wleb21.com, and their fractured story: Actor Samuel L. Jackson is a die hard Louisiana Tech fan.

"In a recent interview actor Samuel L. Jackson was asked to list his favorite sports teams...and his answer was stunning! The man whose credits include "Pulp Fiction" and "Patriot Games" told his audience that the team that tops his lit is the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs. This despite the fact that Jackson isn't from the Pelican state."

Oh, but there's even more:

"Jackson said he saw the Bulldogs play years ago and he was impressed by their never-give-up attitude. He said that since that day, years ago, he's been a fan."

The only truth to the tale? Jackson is, in fact, not a native of Louisiana.
