If a Bear Falls in the Police Station, Does Anyone Hear Him?

Tank Johnson had his sandbox (aka 'da Bears) taken away for good.

Traffic

I was traveling on business yesterday. So tell me why is it that every driver decides to slam on their brakes at the mere sight of a road work sign? Within a fraction of a second, even perfectly competent drivers become a mere shell of their former selves.

It's the equivalent of a pressure shot in the NBA, a 2-minute drive in the NFL, a walk-off hit in MLB or pulling the goalie in the NHL.

Some folks are Big Papi, Jordan, or Brady.

But most ''pull a Nowitzki.''

Get Well Coach Summitt

According to ESPNews the Tennessee Lady Vols head basketball coach, Pat Summitt has fainted at home and was taken to St. Mary's Hospital for further examination. MSNBC reported she was treated for dehydration, but we all know how that story plays out amongst celebrities and the like (see: Lohan, Lindsay).

At any rate, this is not someone as pathetic as Lohan in need of excuses. Best wishes to Coach Summitt and here's hoping it is nothing serious.

Years back, my best friend in high school went to UT and interned in the Athletic Department, working closely with Summitt very often. From his accounts, she's a top-notch lady and we know her coaching record speaks for itself.
