Darius Miles - Terrorist or Weedhead?


"Former professional basketball player and East St. Louis native Darius Miles was arrested Wednesday at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport for allegedly trying to bring a loaded firearm through security, authorities said. Miles, 29, was arrested about 3:30 p.m. after Transportation Security Administration personnel discovered the weapon during an X-ray screening at the airport, according to information from a TSA spokeswoman and a jail official. Miles was arrested by St. Louis airport police, then booked into the St. Louis County jail in Clayton. It was unclear whether the gun was found in luggage or whether Miles was carrying it. The weapon was discovered at the Concourse A checkpoint. Authorities did not say what type of gun was seized."

In non-related awesome news - here are some awesome jpgs of Darius's car - which has Ben Franklin puffing a J airbrushed on the hood.

CliffsNotes of Jerry Sloan's Wiki Page


Born and raised in Gobbler's Knob, fifteen miles south of McLeansboro, Illinois, Sloan was one of ten children being raised by a single mother. He would wake up at 4.30 a.m. to do farm chores and then walk almost two miles to get to school in time for 7 a.m. basketball practice. Sloan graduated an all-state player from McLeansboro High School in 1960. He spent around five weeks at the University of Illinois then quit school due to homesickness. After working for a time at the oil fields, Sloan moved to the University of Evansville. He played college basketball under Evansville coach Arad McCutchan even as he worked part-time making refrigerators for Whirlpool. Sloan is known to wear John Deere hats and to collect and restore John Deere tractors as a hobby. After years of a self-confessed habit of drinking and smoking too much, he has since stopped both, although he has claimed that it never affected him nor his coaching.
