At Least It Wasn't Coke Coach Meyer

Tailback Brandon James and basketball player Brandon Powell were arrested by Gainesville Police in an undercover police sting. Both athletes were suspended indefinitely by the athletic department.

Given Urban Meyer's recent history with suspending players James will probably be miss the first two games against Western Kentucky and Troy State , play against Tennessee and be suspended again against Ole Miss. Urban Legend needs to make sure his players are there to play the big boys. Powell is expected to have a larger role on this year's basketball team as the Gators are about to be dismantled by the NBA lottery. Powell is ofcourse from Memphis and continuing to expand the great reputation of the city that I live in. Way to keep it dope boi fresh.

Could they have been picking up something for Joakim Noah? With his dancing after winning the SEC Championship we couldn't rule it out.

Maybe It Was Memphis....

John Daly has had some ups and downs in his life. Its safe to say today was probably a downer for the golfer from Arkansas. Daly showed up Friday at the Stanford St. Jude Classic in Memphis with abrasions on his face claiming that his wife attacked him with a steak knife the night before. He filed a police report on the incident with the Shelby County Sheriff's Department.

Now this tournament is in Memphis, but most of the time when attacked with a knife in town this isn't how it goes down. First of all its not a steak knife that's used, its usually a box cutter/screw driver with duct tape on it. Also this normally doesn't go down in a nice hotel like Daly was staying at, think more Orange Mound or Frayser. Why didn't he just go back after her with a knife rather than ratting her out to the po-lice? You have to keep it real to the streets John!

Another Reason to Go Back to Nawlins

Louisiana is continuing its push to be named the worst state in the nation. Forget that they had a congressman indicted this week for taking over half a million dollars in bribes; certain New Orleans residents robbed the mother of deceased New England Patriot Marquise Hill WHILE HIS FUNERAL WAS GOING ON. This is right up there with state troopers planting drugs in spring breakers' cars and Mayor Nagin going to Baton Rouge rather than staying in the Superdome when Katrina hit.

There are really few things I can imagine that would be worse than taking advantage of a grieving family while they attend a funeral of their son. Its bad enough the former LSU Tiger died so young, but then these bums steal $16,000 worth of belongings.

This story has flown in under the radar but it is not too surprising this has happened. The fact that Louisianians who have fled out of New Orleans and contributed to record crime rates in Houston, Little Rock, Memphis and Jackson (Mississippi) has not been reported either in the mainstream media either.

With any luck those people that committed the crime against Hill's mom will be caught and rot in Angola for many years.
