Headlines for 11 June 08

Former NBA referee Tim Donaghy was fired for gambling on games. Now, he's come out and said that the 2002 and 2005 NBA Playoffs were rigged. I'm perfectly fine with this. As a coaching legend and gambling connoisseur, I can say that you need to expect everything. If the game in question is the Lakers/Kings matchup in Game 6 of the 2002 Playoffs, the Kings can't blame the referees. So what if they took more free throws? Make more of your other shots. The refs can't call a foul on you just for draining three's all night. Also, Coach Havana fully supports the Shaq/Kobe Lakers. They were the better team.

Terrell Owens says he doesn't care that he's going to be test more often for performance-enhancing drugs now that he's in the NFL's "reasonable cause" testing program. He does admit to being frustrated. He claims the "reasonable cause" was a communication error. My problem with this is that it was over a random test. What kind of system are they running here? If you want to randomly test someone, tap them on the shoulder, show them the cup and make them piss. There's no possible room for miscommunication or anything. Either you take a leak on the spot or you get busted.

Plaxico Burress is skipping mandatory minicamp until he gets a new contract. Lucky for him, he doesn't play for Coach Havana. If he was on my team, I would approach the owner and explain that he's either with the team or against the team. You skip my practice, don't come back weeks later expecting a roster spot. Don't pay the greedy bastard and let him ride the pine. For the love of God, just don't release him. Then he'll sign his fat deal and get rewarded for being a douche.

Well, that's all I've got for today. Look for episode 2 of "Hey Coach Havana" sometime tomorrow. And remember, GET SOME BALLS!!!
