What a waste of athletic ability. He could really do some things on the court that not many in the SoCon could.
Maybe he and Rodney White can play on the same team in the penal league?

This doesn't deserve it's own thread so I thought I'd put it here http://www.postandcourier.com/article/20140702/PC20/140709893/1177 I am not suggesting that you can't coach effectively without challenging a player's "manhood," but I wonder how abrasive Wojick really has been.

I thought the bottle rocks out the rectum were funny, but the magic mushroom story is even funnier.

I guess this is why they call this silly season....

After reading the article, I was left with one big question. What did Mr. Adrian do for a living? Was he able to support himself putting on basketball camps?
