Can Pacman Jones Please Pick Up His 7-10 Split In Peace?
With "wrong place, wrong time" becoming less of a clich and more of a way of life, Pacman Jones is in the news again. A knife-wielding man went after Pac in a bowling alley last night, threatening to beat him up and slice a few holes in him. Jeff Fisher is not a suspect....
Albany Great Danes
1. Jamar Wilson, Mayor of Sm-Albany. This is becoming a rite of spring. Jamar Wilson dominates an America East Final (22, 7 and 6 in the conference title game), and the Great Danes get a bid to the Big Show. Diddly posed the thought on everyone's mind (in the Capital District at least): "I think we'...
Tennessee Volunteers
1. The machines ... they're getting smarter. UT's freshman class has overcome being labeled "The Fab Five" by Knoxville media outlets to become a legitimate driving force on the court.

Pacman Jones' Family, They Just Don't Understand
You know, it's one thing when a drug dealer is concerned about your personal safety. But jeez, when your family is this concerned about you, jeez, it's all over....
Perhaps He Will Someday Be Played By Helen Mirren
As creepy as we find recruiting — "Hey, look, it's a 16-year-old! Let's make him strip to his underwear and sprint for us!" — we do enjoy the wide variety of personalities and segments of humanity the vaster scope of coverage affords us. The more people we meet, the more likely there's going to be s...
Well, That Was A Bit Of A Letdown
Whether she was channeling Bruce Pearl or Minnie Pearl, Pat Summitt's antics before the Tennessee men's game on Tuesday was the least offensive aspect of the evening, as it turns out. When one considers that Dick Vitale was there, and that Peyton Manning was in the crowd singing, viewers should cons...
Luis Castillo Is Protective Of His Anus
Last week, Twins second baseman Luis Castillo was scheduled to receive his yearly physical from team doctors. But he kept wanting to delay it, much to the confusion of team officials. Twins manager Ron Gardenhire helpfully explained....
Drug Dealers Are Terrible Character Witnesses
Time for a Pacman Jones update, because now that all the newspapers are finally catching up on the story of his weekend in Vegas, we figured we should help keep them updated. (With a local TV news, of course.) Turns out, one of Pacman's buddies is a drug dealer in Tennessee, and he was taped recentl...
Ready For Some Good, Old-Fashioned College Basketball Nightmare Fuel?
Note to Bruce Pearl: There's such a thing as overselling an event, as may be the case tonight when Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt is supposed to appear at the men's game against No. 5 Florida and "do something special." Pearl (personal motto: Dignity, Always Dignity), the Tennessee m...
I Agree Completely, He Really Shouldn't Have Made It Rain
I hope that one more post doesn't overdo it on the Pacman Jones story, but I did particularly enjoy this report from WSMV in Nashville. One line in particular really does tell you all you need to know. "He shouldn't have made it rain, then." Yes....

A Strip Club Incident That Might NOT Have Featured Pac Man Jones
You know, it almost seems natural: When there's a triple shooting in Las Vegas at a strip joint called Minxx Gentleman's Club, you tend to just assume Pac Man Jones was involved. (Or Stephen Jackson. Maybe Olin Kruetz.) Jones says, though, that rumors saying that he had something to do with it are f...
Some Helpful Sports Tips To Surviving Valentine's Day
