Grizzlies Coach Bans Gambling on Flights After Players Fight
Jan. 6 (Bloomberg) — Memphis Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins banned gambling by players on team flights and in hotel rooms after a fight over an unpaid debt from a card game, The Commercial Appeal reported.
The team said the altercation between guards O.J. Mayo and Tony Allen occurred this week on the National Basketball Association team’s charter flight home from Los Angeles.
“We’re in a confined airplane and things get heated,â€
Hollins told the Memphis newspaper yesterday. “I’m done with it. No more gambling. I told my guys if they read a book that would be good. They have to entertain themselves in a different manner.â€
The players were not disciplined by the team. The newspaper said Mayo, who missed a Jan. 4 game with what the team said was bronchitis, had a swollen eye after being struck at least five times by Allen.
The incident comes a season after unpaid gambling debts resulted in a confrontation between Washington Wizards teammates Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton. Arenas brought guns into the team’s locker room the following day, violating local law, and was suspended by the NBA for the rest of the season.
The other day while watching Beaches and sipping on my Creme de Menthe Frappe, I considered how wonderful that movie would have been had it starred Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand. But James Read certainly looked strapping in the role of Michael Essex.
“How about older bald guys with long hair in the back done up in a ponytail?”
To me, pony tails on men are the absolute WORST, doesn’t matter if the guy is bald or not. There are a couple of guys like this in the nabe whom I see when walking CDog. Takes all my restraint not to shout at them, “The 60s are OVER!!!”.
