"Gone for Good"

In the video below you will find Renardo Sidney, up in the stands throwing haymakers at his Mississippi State teammate, fresh off a one-game suspension from his coach and a week or so removed from an NCAA-imposed suspension that lasted all of last year and the first nine games this season.
Clearly, Sidney’s a mess.

The 6-foot-10, 275-pound Mississippi native should know better. No, make this he has to know better than to get into it with teammate Elgin Bailey with all the world to see.

Check out this article from Jeff Goodman of Fox Sports.com about how Sidney is falling from the graces of college basketball, and no one is to blame but his...family.  Sad but true!

"A$$ Backwards"

The Story(ESPN):  Terrelle Pryor and four teammates were suspended Thursday by the NCAA for the first five games of next season for selling championship rings, jerseys and awards. They also received improper benefits -- from up to two years ago -- from the tattoo parlor and its owner.

Along with Pryor, leading rusher Dan Herron, No. 2 wide receiver DeVier Posey, All-Big Ten offensive tackle Mike Adams and backup defensive end Solomon Thomas must sit out the five games.

Pryor must repay $2,500 for selling his 2008 Big Ten championship ring, a 2009 Fiesta Bowl sportsmanship award and his 2008 Gold Pants.  Herron must repay $1,150 for selling his football jersey, pants and shoes for $1,000 and receiving discounted services worth $150. Posey must repay $1,250 for selling his 2008 Big Ten championship ring for $1,200 and receiving discounted services worth $50.  Adams must repay $1,000 for selling his 2008 Big Ten championship ring. Thomas must repay $1,505 for selling his 2008 Big Ten championship ring for $1,000, his 2008 Gold Pants for $350 and receiving discounted services worth $155.


The Analysis:  5 games, how about sitting out the upcoming bowl game.  The NCAA has set a huge double standard.  Dez Bryant (former Ok State WR) who plays for the Cowboys gets suspended an entire season for misleading the NCAA however he did not take any money.  Nor did he sell items to earn a profit.  Nor are we aware of him receiving improper benefits while in school.  Pryor is not even going to be around next year to sit out those games.

If I was Dez Bryant, Reggie Bush, and the entire UNC Tarheel Defense, I'd be SMDH too...

"Special Delivery"

...Literally, I just found out about this.  The man who is "almost" single handled responsible for bringing the Harlem Shake dance to the world's attention just "delivered" himself to police.  I'm just glad he did the right thing although, at what point do you just let it ride?

MTVNEWS Former Bad Boy MC G. Dep admitted this week to fatally shooting a man nearly 20 years ago.

The New York Post reports that on Wednesday, the 36-year-old rapper, born Trevell Coleman, walked into the 25th precinct in Harlem and confessed to killing a man way back in 1993.

"I shot and killed someone 17 years ago," he reportedly told an officer at the precinct.

According to the Post report, Dep told police that he was riding a bike when he approached his victim, 32-year-old John Henkel, on Park Avenue and East 114th street near the James Weldon Johnson housing projects. Dep, just 18 years old at the time, was planning to rob Henkel, but when he resisted, shot him three times in the chest with a .40-caliber hand gun. He then fled from the crime scene and threw the gun into the East River. Henkel was pronounced dead at St. Luke's hospital.

"My Blog was on my Mind"

I've been working too hard, haven't been blogging as of late...but I got yall...I promise.

Thought I'd share this music video.  If you don't know the story of Minnie Riperton, you should.  Very touching story.  Saw the TV one special...so so SAD.

"Referee gets Wrecked"

(ESPN)A Florida high school basketball player has been suspended from school and won't be allowed to play again after slamming a referee to the court during a game.

When he was called for a technical foul, Holland confronted the referee, pushed him, then grabbed him and tossed him to the floor.

As a basketball official myself, should be allowed to swing back?  He probably wasn't even the star player on the team.  So not cool.
