First A.J. Price, and now starting point guard Marcus Williams has also been arrested in charges stemming from some laptop theivery. I guess Jim Calhoun can be proud that his players are technology enthusiasts. I guess Marcus Williams just had to have Microsoft Word XP. He’s got to do his papers in style. His mousepad is pictured to the right.

Either that, or they’re just fucking criminals. I mean, stealing is stealing, and it’s wrong, but… it’s one thing if they lifted these out of a Dell delivery truck or something. But these were stolen from dorm rooms. These belongs to other UConn students, ones who aren’t on the basketball team with their private tutors. It doesn’t get much lower than that.

I’ll take a cokehead on my team any day, before I’d take someone that’s breaking into dorm rooms and stealing laptops. At least you know the cokehead is going to be fired up on gameday. Marcus will just be looking around the locker room for someone who left their watch unattended.
These guys have got to go, Jim Calhoun. UConn basketball doesn’t seem as prestigious today as it did a few days ago.

Those crazy Scots. Lawrence Tynes, kicker for the Chiefs and the NFL’s first Scottish-born player, has been charged with breaking a bouncer’s nose in a bar fight.

So Lawrence Tynes 1) kicks a ball for a living 2) is Scottish and 3) violent. That, to me, earns him the title of Scottish Football Hooligan. Congratulations, Tynes. If it’s not Scottish, it’s crap.

By the way, congratulations to the bouncer who got beaten up by a kicker… and a bad one at that. That’ll do wonders for his image. As soon as he gets back on the job, someone should wear a Gramatica jersey into the club and just watch him flip out and cry. I know it’s not as bad as it sounds, I mean Tynes is 6’1″, 200 pounds… small by NFL standards, but not small by everyday Joe standards. But getting your ass whooped by a kicker… well, that’s never good.

In a fit of anger, Livan Hernandez tossed his glove, cap, and jacket into the RFK crowd the other night. Livan offered the guy an autographed jersey and a new glove in exchange for the old glove. The douchebag said he wouldn’t give it up unless he got season tickets next year, playoff tickets this year, and $18,000.

Livan pretty much told him to fuck himself. He told the guy to keep the glove.

And now, instead of an autographed jersey and a new glove, the guy has a sweaty old hunk of leather that I hope he can’t even sell on EBay. $18,000? For a glove? It’s one thing to be money-grubbling sleazeball, but… 18 large, for a baseball glove? Be realistic, man. Squeeze the guy if you want, get what you can, but $18,000… that’s just fucking idiotic.

I hope Livan Hernandez did to that glove the same thing that Morgan did with a glove in Good Will Hunting. And I hope it’s on that guy’s hand right now.

If there are any fantasy football players out there, I’m in a league with a couple of openings. It’s being done on the EA’s website (my first time there), and the draft will be conducted via e-mail, starting soon. If you’re interested, send an e-mail to my boy at s0289856@monmouth.edu, and he’ll toss you an invite.
