Further Evidence Rick Pitino Has No Morals

I am on fire right now. What a start to the blogging season! I am in the process of blowing everyone in the blogging field out of the water right now. Watch out...

From ESPN.com (mainly...)
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Louisville basketball players Jerry Smith and Terrence Jennings each will face only one charge stemming from their involvement in an altercation with off-duty police officers during the weekend.

The misdemeanor charge carries a maximum of one year in jail and a $5,000 fine. The police report initially asked the pair be charged with multiple counts.

Jennings, a 6-foot-10 sophomore from Sacramento, Calif., and Smith, a 6-foot-2 senior from Wauwatosa, Wis., are scheduled to appear Monday morning in Jeffersonville City Court.

Pitino told ESPN.com, "They will be punished and are being punished right now. But no, they will not miss game time. This is not a big deal. It's not like they raped a crazy, drunken coug and then paid for her abortion..."

The police report said several off-duty officers -- all of whom were wearing T-shirts with "Police" clearly marked on the front and back -- were working at the party when a fight broke out inside.

However, Jennings said he wasn't aware at the time he was being confronted by off-duty police. Teachers report Jennings is functionally illiterate.

Officers needed to strike Jennings twice with a Taser to subdue him, as Jennings screamed.

"I think Jerry saw a teammate on the ground and didn't want to abandon him," Pitino said. Adding, "I mean, in Jerry's defense, it's not like Jennings is a fetus. He can't just be abandoned."

"I think he saw a teammate taking some pretty good blows and tried to help." Pitino when on to say, "I wish my assistant had come to my aid that night at Porcini when he heard me taking some pretty good blows. You know, before I did something stupid in the kitchen..."

Jonathan Mandeldove Out

Jonathan Mandeldove will not play in the first semester, as reported by the Hartford Courant's Mike Anthony. I have been waiting for some kind of 'Dove news to share an entertaining evening I had with him a few months ago.

I was with some friends "paying the electric bill" at one of Tolland's finest establishments. We were sitting at the stage when 'Dove came wandering over and sat next to me.

People say he has a great sense of humor, so I decided to have some fun with him. We talked for a bit and then I started throwing dollars on the stage in front of him. When my first dollar missed and fell to the floor I shouted, "Look Dove! My jump shot is just as bad as yours!"

We offered to get some thoroughly vetted talent to help ease the pain of what Stone Mountain's finest had been reduced to, but he refused and sought out someone more to his liking. I told him to have fun back there, and if she choked to death it was her own fault.

When he came back I had some fun asking dancers, "Hey, do you know who this is?" When they said no I would just laugh and tell them, "Neither does anyone else!"

I suppose I might have been a bit harsh on 'Dove, but he took it in stride. I guess when you spend three years at UConn getting eviscerated by Jimmy Calhoun there isn't much I can say to upset you. Thankfully I was smart enough not to bring up our blog and the old JMFSSW

Good luck 'Dove, too bad you fattened up from the delectable Blue Buffett. Those pretzels and chips are irrrresistable!
