A Great & Horrible Day in Sports
So I get back to the Award Winning Comfort Inn today, and it still smells like a hospital. That really has nothing to do with my post, but just wanted to throw that it. I turned on the TV to Sportscenter of course, to see a picture of the Iowa Hawkeye logo. Immediately, two scenarios went through my head on why they were on Sportscenter. Either Steve Alford opened another Steve Alford's All-American Inn in Indiana or Ed Podalak came up with another recipe for chili. Well, I was wrong on both, and I actually respected the University after the story. Pierre Pierce was thrown off the team for getting into some more trouble. As most of you probably know, Pierce was under fire for allegedly sexually assaulting a female on campus last year. Currently, he is being charged for theft and assault or something like that. I'm assuming that he stole a Snickers from the local 7 Eleven. I'm glad that Alford stepped up and kicked him off the team. Very respectable.
The next story dealt with Sammy Sosa and the Orioles. Being a former Orioles fan when Ripken was still around, and disliking Sammy Sosa, I was interested in what was going on. Unfortunatley the organization put there money into the pockets of a washed up baseball player. Sammy strikes out more than Ross Roti, which is amazing. I've given up the Orioles, and now I think I will become a RedSox fan. Why not. The Orioles have been verry verry good to me (In a Dominican accent), but I'm jumping on the bandwagon. Yeahh

FWIW, Pierce was suspended a year by Iowa when he plead down to "misdeamenor assault" (during sex) against an Iowa women's basketball player. He redshirted and lost no eligibility.
He's now been charged with sexual assault and burglary and been dismissed from the team.
Apparently rape a girl once = redshirt year
Rape a second girl = you're out
Also, Alford threw his support behind his star both times, however the University made the cut.
