Deadspin
As a sobering reminder that no humans will be spared when the animal "Order 66" is given, Tennessee Lady Vols head coach Pat Summitt dislocated her shoulder while attempting to chase a raccoon off her back porch on Wednesday.
Summitt had taken her golden Labrador out for a walk when they came back to find the raccoon on the deck at her home."I momentarily lost it," Summitt told WBIR-TV. "The raccoon was about to attack. I just knocked it off the deck, and fortunately nothing happened but a dislocated shoulder, and it's back in place."
"When I realized what could have happened, it almost brought me to tears. It wasn't very smart on my part," Summitt said.
Uhhhhh-huh. A little more disclosure of the incident would have been nice, you know, to explain how such an episode leads to a dislocated shoulder. Did she try a flying elbow drop on the raccoon?
I would have said that perhaps she might have been better off letting that dog of hers try to shoo it off, but, as it's been made clear, that animals are clearly working in concert to bring our leaders down one embarrassing incident at a time.

ZOMBIE RACCOON WANTS BRAINS!
The soil of a man's heart is stonier.
After the whole orange body paint thing, I'm terrified as to what Bruce Pearl will do in response to this one.
When Animals Attack Pt. 2: Bruce Pearl having a few brutal bouts with the crabs.
Coincidentally, Pokey Chatman dislocated her shoulder chasing beaver around her back porch.

Pat Summit beat up a coon?

College Gameday just posed the following question:
"How do you slow down Tyler Hansbrough?"
He doesn't seem like the brightest bulb, so I think some basic algebra would do the trick.
@Brazil Thrill: Object permanence could be a problem, too. "Here's the ball... and now it's gone forever! And now here's the ball! Gone! Here! Gone! MAGIC BALL! DEMONS!"

Pat Summitt is a useful animal. She killed an entire family of raccoons.
Someone alert Dr. Venkman: Vigo is back, and this time he's got animal friends.
It's Tennessee. That poor raccoon is going to end up as a hat.
And dinner.
@TattooedMess(iah): Everyone loves a round of child development jokes.
actually it was just one of the new recruits.

How do you tell the difference between a raccoon and Bruce Pearl?
One's a hairy, sneaky varmint that smells like garbage and the other one is a raccoon.
