NBA-thuggery

Indiana Pacers management has gone into damage control today as they hit national headlines with 4 of the team's players involved in your typical NBA-scallywag behaviour. The incident occurred early this morning out the front of a seedy strip club on the even-seedier eastside. 3 of the 4 players were found with handguns while one was hit by an "automobile with large rims" (suprise, suprise).

Coincidently, one of the girls at my work experience place spent a day with Stephen Jackson (one of the players involved) last week. We were editing the video today and there was a clip of Jackson saying "Ive been an angel off-court and it's going to stay that way". I think I heard that the company was in talks with ESPN to sell the clip. The only problem is, Emmis wants to keep their relationship with the Pacers.

It seems the ball club can not get over their dirty repuation. They did trade some of their cancer but it seems they didn't get it all. Last season they were involved in the nastiest of on-court (and in the stands) brawls in Detroit, in which Jackson played a big part. It was so bad they cancelled the game. For those of you who are interested I found the video of that fight and you can watch it below - you have to stick with it because it stops and starts but is definetely worth the watch. Unbelievabe!

I too am in damage control after getting a haircut today. I had held off the inevitable for quite sometime but it needed to be done. Actually, its not too bad. Certainly was a scary experience.
