I heard from Rome that it might actually be his own lawyer. Handling a divorce. How stupid can one man be?

here’s all i saw

WSB-TV in Atlanta reports that Titans cornerback Pacman Jones allegedly punched a woman on January 3 in a North Atlanta strip club. And the woman whom he punched is a lawyer.

The incident allegedly happened on January 3. The lawyer, Wanda Jackson, alleges that Jones entered a manager’s office, accusing the club among other things of stealing money from him. She says that, during the meeting, Jones lunged at her several times. She also alleges that, in a hallway after the meeting, he reached around a security guard and punched her.

Anyway, I do really need to go now. I’m starting to not feel so good in the tummy. If I’m getting that crap that’s going around I am going to be so unhappy.

Damn you, Google, damn you. I didn’t need my parents to know about my blogging, and now they’re mad that I didn’t share it with them sooner. And why were they putting my name into a search engine in the first place?

Jess, they’ll get over it once they realize you’re blogging about nothing more troubling than the Milledge trade. (Which mind you, is tropubling enough on its own.)

Good luck, 71 …I will now type with my fingers crossed for the rest of the day.

Jess, you know you have to use this knowledge to torture your folks now.

I suggest you write a fake blog posting talking about experimentation or something ;)

Jessica’s story brings back memories of when my parents found out what I was doing with our pet sheep.

Ahhh … good times, good times.
Comment posted by Jessica on January 15, 2008 at 5:56 pm (#590737)
Jess, did you ever hear from the inteviewer who never called?

Nope. I did send him an e-mail this morning stating that I never received a phone call yesterday, but no response yet.

Come to think of it, I’m glad my parents only found the MVN page, where I have to avoid using certain words, and not some of my comments here :-P

*crosses toes for 71* (hey, I need the fingers to type)

Heh. Even better, I can write a column listing some of the silly things my mother has said/asked about baseball over the years 0:-) (hey, nobody told her to ask Dad and I if the postseason is when they make up the games that got rained out)

yeah, it is a shithole. it is one of the few arenas i’ve played in where you find crushed cans of PBR in the penalty box.

I actually wrote a rather long piece about that game when I found out that SNY was going to air it: http://mvn.com/mlb-mets/2007/12/11/on-childhood-memories-improbable-comebacks-and-must-see-tv/

talk about your all-time bad days….he’s having one.

Miguel Tejada’s older brother died in a motorcycle accident on Tuesday in the Dominican Republic.
He was already having an awful day, as Congress asked the Defense Department to investigate whether he lied to a house committee investigating steroids in baseball. Tejada received the news while traveling to play in a Dominican Winter League game. He immediately returned home to be with his family.
