-The fact that Gilbert Arenas has plead guilty and will face sentencing in March is truly sad for the NBA. Arenas is one of the better personalities in the league and normally keeps things light-hearted. The real question here is with two guys in the Wizards locker room alone exposed as having firearms in their lockers, how many more tossed theirs in their backpack and stashed their gun at home. Arenas is going to be a fall guy for the NBA and David Stern, as somehow Crittendon has been able to avoid the spotlight here. Hopefully, Gilbert will serve his sentence and be allowed back into the NBA soon.
-Tennessee is apparently in talks with Louisiana Tech coach Derek Dooley, offspring of the legendary Vince Dooley. While this may be a cute little play to bring a former SEC coach's son into the Vols program, I have to wonder why they are not talking to Mike Leach. Leach is the type of personality that would shine in the SEC alongside chucklehead Les Miles and visor-toss expert Steve Spurrier. Leach is still a good coach regardless of whether he put poor little Adam James into a closet. From reading all of the letters and emails from coaches and former players, James seems like a lazy dirtbag who is trying to capitalize on some nepotism from Craig James. Leach could whip the Tennessee team into shape and bring in a big name to calm the rioting, mattress-burning student body of Tennessee.
-Finally, Mike Vick appears to be trade material with the Raiders and Rams showing interest. While I think that Vick would have a direct line to the starting QB spot in St. Louis (now that Marc Bulger has inexplicably forgotten how to play his position), the Raiders would be a more entertaining fit for football fans. Who wouldn't want to see the dynamic of Mike Vick (dog killer), Tom Cable (coach abuser) and JaMarcus Russell (team killer) on the same sideline?!
