Hornets’ halftime performer eats rim.Video

I originally thought this was a Pistons’ dunker based on Detroit’s dreadful week (see: eight consecutive losses, line-up issues, angrily thrown towels), but nope, I’m told this is a member of the Hornets’ trampoline dunk team

eating some rim. I really should have known better, given the Hornets’ previous halftime woes

Scott Eyre is the latest ballplayer

Never thought we’d see a day when a pro ballplayer might take to selling apples or asking a fan to spare a dime, but thanks to the ongoing fraud schemes those farfetched scenes could become a reality this spring.

 

On Monday, Phillies reliever Scott Eyre became the latest MLB player to admit he’s in a bit of a financial bind, telling MLB.com’s Todd Zolecki that his assets are currently frozen due to the ongoing investigation into the Stanford Financial fraud case.

Just how bad is it? Well, because of the court-ordered freeze, Eyre says he’s „broke right now” and that he has „$13 in my wallet.” This after the lefty signed a one-year deal worth $2 million in the offseason.
