8:57 PM Just got back from Costco, where I secured six cases of owl jerky, a 40-gallon drum of pine cone liquor, three genetically engineered chickens made entirely of wings, a giant squid with a head of fire and talking snakes for tentacles and a copy of Andre Agassi's autobiography, signed personally!
8:09 PM Got five bucks burning a hole in your pocket and an unhealthy obsession for Monta Ellis? Does Mark Cuban have a deal for YOU!
7:51 PM Michigan State football players *allegedly* weren't the only football players in the country involved in a serious dorm altercation recently.
The NEW YORK POST’s PAGE SIX spots the offspring of the teed-off tennis star causing a racket outside a West Side club.
20-year-old Sean McEnroe was trying to ace his way into the Pink Elephant club, but was getting no love from the men out front. So the soured son started double-faulting with the doormen and cursing them out, yelling, “Oh, bouncers - really good job. You’re f—ing losers!”
After the argument, Sean then fittingly “stumbled backward and fell into a pile of garbage bags.”
Obviously, young McEnroe was pretty trashed that night.
7 PICKS, 4 GLASSES OF WINE? WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?: SbB reported awhile back that the son of John Elway, Jack, had been given a scholarship to play ball at Arizona State.
GLOBETROTTER’S GRANDKIDS GIVING TEAM EFFORT IN ORE.: The grandsons of a former Harlem Globetrotter are finding their own fame by playing together in college football:
The SALEM (OR) NEWS lays up the story of the four Lemon brothers - Chet, Chase, Bubba and Mychal - and the good times they’re having together on the Linfield College gridiron squad.All four are grandchildren of Meadowlark Lemon, the ex-Globetrotters star. Their father, Meadow (known around town as George), serves as cornerbacks coach and assistant director of campus safety for the Oregon school.
It’s supposedly the first time 4 brothers have ever played simultaneously on the same college team. The fame of playing together and being Meadowlark’s grand-offspring has even brought ESPN to McMinnville to highlight the family.With Granddad’s connections, maybe Linfield can schedule a team like the Washington Generals. May we suggest Notre Dame?
LAFLEUR HELPS SON SCORE WITH 16YO WHILE OUT ON BAIL While Andy Reid gets roasted for the behavior of his two felonious sons, hockey legend Guy Lafleur is getting similar (and justifiable) treatment north of the border.
The ASSOCIATED PRESS reports Lafleur’s “23-year-old son faces more than 20 criminal charges, including sexually assaulting a minor, armed assault, uttering threats, and forcible confinement between 2004 and 2007.”
Lafleur recently petitioned the court to allow his son, who has been living at halfway houses, to live with him full-time until the trial is over (it doesn’t start until May!). But his request was denied because the local authorities found out Lafleur was allowing his 23-year-old son to hook up with a 16-year-old in motel rooms whenever a visit by the court was allowed. Lafleur “has since admitted that he drove his son to hotels to spend the night with his girlfriend.”
Nikolai Bonds tore two ankle ligaments trying to emulate LeBron James during a pickup basketball game. It might take up to two months to recover, so Nicky will probably be in the stands with the rest of the family when 756(*) sails out of the park.
